Talk me into or out of aftermarket Front Springs

[downforce137]

i did the eibachs a few months ago on my 19 scab, and i really didnt notice any difference in ride or handling, but its higher in the front.. which was the point... more ground clearance in the front..

I thought the spring rate was pretty close to stock so ride/handling will be very similar, just higher..

One downside I'm already noticing after installing my Eibachs is going through tires faster. It's far easier to carry speed into corners as it feels so planted. I'm at 9k currently, I doubt my stock tires will make it to 20k.

A good thing the handling for sure. But how’s your alignment? More pressure may help, but the trade off is a bouncy ride with these tires.

My alignment technically needs a camber kit to dial I perfectly, but it's only off .1 degree. I've experimented with tire pressure, overall I like 36 front / 34 rear (SCAB).

That pressure seems to be the magic number for Raptors.

Yeah it is pretty amazing how much that small difference makes over 38/38

All installed.

Went from 40” at the fender flare to 42”. I imagine that will lower a bit as the springs break in.

Is it the same 42" on both front wheels? On my Front Driver side is at 41.75 and Front Passenger side is at 42"

1/4” lower on the passenger side.

Not sure how much it matters but the recommended camber is -.4 after spring install. My alignment shop couldn't quite get me there on the passenger side, I'll be installing a camber kit next time I go in.

On the Deaver Rear springs is there a +2, +3 regular and a +2, +3 HD?

I think I have also seen someone state there is a +2, +3 XHD...is that right? Three different stiffness / load capacities?
