Anyone running the Eibach stage 2.0 coilovers?

Put these bad boys on. Man what a difference than that tired old level kit. Will finish dialing them in. Worth every penny so far.

 

As noted by others those coilovers are SUPER cranked high. Hopefully you’ve gotten some resolution with re-adjustment.
Also, what no one else has mentioned yet is your rear add-a-leaf setup that you have. That will really stiffen the ride up if you’re not consistently running weight in the bed (tools, cap, tent, or other glamping gear). If you consistently run an empty bed, shackles might be a better option for you to get some rear lift.

 

I am tempted to pick these up. The stage 2r is only like 1100 bucks with the holiday sale. I am not looking for ton a lift. Really just looking to get rid of the bed bounce.

 

At first the ride was a stiff, but since they settled it seems to be pretty decent so far. Its been over a year and I have added in the Decked drawer system and still feels the same with as if I have a empty bed or at least I just cant tell a difference anymore lol. as for the coils I did get them properly adjusted by a decent shop that deals with Off-road type vehicles. Started back at what Eibach was set from their factory and adjusted properly from there to give 2.5 inch lift on the passenger side and then a little more on drive side to account for the lean. that was probably like 8 - 9 months or so.

 

Do it. it was well worth it to me but I wanted different results than you with a lift and handle rear weight better. I'm sure you can achieve the same thing with shackles or something else. I can assure you that I don't have anymore bed bounce with my setup, but again you may not need my exact setup to fix that. maybe look and see about the Road Active Suspension (RAS) to help your bounce plus gives some lift.

 

very nice! how do you like that UCA? I am in the market for some officially now. I'm just worried because I'm still using the stock TRD wheels and if I need to run spacers to clear or not.

 

Come back and dialed her in. Got about 1” rake.

 

I am running spacers as you can see. Overall I am extremely happy with them so far. Going to drive it around a little more to see how it settles then take her in for alignment. The install on arms was the easiest part even. That long bolt was not that bad.

 

Looking real good!

 

Very nice! yeah I was hoping to see if I don't have to run wheel spacers if I get some Aftermarket UCA. Eventually my goal is new rims with a better offset. Question, what made you go with those UCA vs others? I was looking at JBA UCAs just for the multiple grease points and replaceability and of course with the positive feedback on performance from others on this forum. The only thing I don't like about them as they come in red only, which isn't a huge deal as I can paint them or have them powder coating something else after.

 

My truck is 99.9 on payment. I read some good reviews on these arms. For the price point was a deciding factor also. I shot some grease in them this morning. Over all very happy with fit and finish. Real test will be alignment specs.

 

I gotcha. very nice! mine is mostly pavement with only a few off-road trips that is mostly dirt and gravel roads, so now these are on my radar as well. seems very well priced. I am very curious to see the alignments on this as well. When you do go in for it, do you mind updating this post with what your specs and thoughts on it please? Mine with stock UCA are completely maxed at castors and been to a few shops and still have some pull to the right. also curious on your thoughts if it has tighten up the steering wheel as well. mine seems a bit loose now after the lift on stock UCAs.

 

My problem was I had a puck lift on there was about 2 1/4 of spacer. So guessing that was about 4” of lift. My tires always seemed to wear on the otter edge no matter how many shops are alignment. I am unsure how they even stuffed that dude back in the coil pocket. I will upload specs once I get it from shop. I have other vehicles to drive so going to drive it couple shorts runs to work, allowing it to settle. Love the fact with coil overs and rear air bags plumbed individual I can dial in suspension perfect on all 4 corners.

 

Oh wow! thats was a huge lift then. Yeah I am so happy i went with the coils just for shear adjustability. You running bags only in the rear? that's another thing I've been thinking about too for towing. either Airbags for adjustability or the RAS system to help with the sag with my camper.

 

Yeah running the air ride 5100 with cradle. Plumed individual so I can control.

 

Very Nice! I am not sure how long you have had them on, but what do you think about them? how's is the ride quality? I've heard since it replaces the stock bumpstop that when it hits, it clunks real hard.

 

They been on there for years just recently went to the cradles. I am very glad I have them when I do haul something heavy. Far as clunk not that I am aware of.

 

perfect! thank you so much for your time on answering all my questions. Truck looks great! I cant wait to see and hear about the alignment specs. if everything is good, I am buying them ASAP.

 

No problem, glad to help. I’ll post specs once aligned.

 

Chuck, did you ever get the alignment done? Were they able to dial it in. Still happy with the ride? Looking to mirror your set up. Just ordered the same UCA’s with plans for Eibach stage 2 as well. Hoping the UCA’s clear my factory 20’s with no spacers. What size tires do you run?

 

Hey man,
Unfortunately life got busy have not had it aligned yet. That next week we spent a night in urgent care and unexpected doctors appointments for my wife for her arm. Then that weekend we had to spend 11 days in the hospital due to another complication for her small intestine surgery from 5 months earlier due to a head on collision. So we just got home and Christmas prep has been in over time. I am hoping for this next week. Then again I have MRI and doctors appointment this next week. So maybe on Friday. I can take it.

 

Damn dude, truck is definitely the least of your worries. Sounds like a rough go lately. Happy holidays to you and your family.

 

Thank you sir, Happy Holidays to yours as well. I did take it on a short donut run this morning. Still love the way it drives and rides. Just feeling blessed to have all my family still here and a live. Glad to be here to see this Christmas with my whole family. Got a 9 year old and 6 and they need us. Soon as I get it aligned I’ll report back.

 

perfect stance in my opinion - can you share the exact settings please? I've got this kit arriving next week and am wondering if I need to order the UCA's as well to achieve this

 

I have afterMarket uca with mine. Figured I didn’t want to do the project twice so just installed them when I did the rest of the install. Can’t say if it made a difference or not.

 

Well got it aligned. Drives great. I asked for sheet, but shop forgot and I dropped it off.

 

Well damn. That’s okay, thanks for following up! You don’t have and drift or anything like that? Does it seem more rock steady too?

 

Its drives really well, better than factory. Tracks true. Drives and rides well.

 

That’s great news!! Looks like I’m picking those up. Thanks for all your help!

 

Worth it to me. Too soon to check reliability, but considering I have put only 10k on her in two years lol.
