    On the Eichbachs Stage 2, does a normal spring compressor work on the springs, or are they larger like on Fox to where you need to use a wall mount?

    Thinking about picking a set up with this deal but don’t want as much lift as 2.75” and want to be able to dial it down some.

    No problem! My personal favorites over here are still the Diode Dynamics SS3 max in fog pattern. They just have a ton of power, and keep the light down well!

    As for ditch lights, it kind of comes down to pricing and use case. Depending on whether you want them to be distance support, or if you plan to aim them to the sides will dictate what I recommend! Here's the ditch brackets, and links to some pods. Let me know which power level you're hunting, and what you hope they'll light up, and we'll go from there!

    *Remember you'll need 2 of the below pods and a wiring harness -

    We got em! We are just slow in getting products uploaded! You just tell me what you want, and I'll let you know what we can do. :cool:
    A standard spring compressor will work just fine. Also, I generally tell people that if you lubricate the threads and ring well with WD-40 (or similar) you can bring a coilover down without galling the thread or rounding out the holes that the spanner wrench goes into. I don't share this same stance for trying to go up. I always recommend compressing the spring to go up.

    Need new suspension. Running Billie 5100s now. Could repeat that or swap for Eibachs.

    Thanks, I was surprised to see Eibach's video last night and they were adjusting it up without compressing the spring. When I had Fox coilovers, they told me I needed to compress them which I struggled with as I learned quick that the standard spring compressor didn't fit the springs.

    What preload are they sent out with, something around the 2.75" lift or is it lower?

    This style of compressor fits over the heavy duty springs our trucks use much better.

    Fox uses the split collars, right? Those definitely need preload removed before adjusting or you'll skip threads. Solid collars like Icon uses can be spun with tension on them, but like Colton said, there are some caveats there.

    They come shipped at ~+2” out of the box. I generally recommend the Eibach kit out of the box, and then about .75” of lift out back to make things look congruent. Generally it’s accomplished by a Coachbuilder +1 shackle.

    I heard the Coachbuilder +1 doesn't work with my RAS HD, do you know if that is the case? If it doesn't, I'll probably just get the Stage 2, dial it down a bit and try to maintain a bit of rake. I'm not looking for much lift, just around 1.5" or so.

    Can confirm that to be the case. If you have a RAS HD now, you're already getting about .75" of lift, so you're in a good spot anyway! No need for the shackles from a visuals perspective.
