    Decided to ditch the leveling blocks and go with Eibach Pro Truck Stage 2 on my 14. After snugging up the upper coil nuts this is what the bottom mount looked like (top picture). I could get the lower mount into the LCA mount, but it felt like I was putting it in a bind. Yes, I had the correct side towards the wheel. The bottom pic is of the factory Bilstein with a lift block with the upper mount nuts snugged up. Question for those that have done the install. Is this normal to see the lower mount so far from the LCA eyelet? I have not done a ton of suspension work and this did not seem correct. I called Eibach and their tech said the upper bushing should make up for this.

    I haven't installed those shocks. But I've changed mine a few times. I never snugged the top until I had the bolt thru the lower mount. That new shock might need a little movement (either compression or extension) to fit the current length to the LCA. I'd loosen the top some, see if that let's you get the bottom bolt thru. The top should snug up no problem.

    I have these and did the install myself, and like what RobertD said, you may need to loosen the top mounting bolts and move the LCA up and wiggle it around until you can slide the bolt through. It was a tight fit for me but it worked out and it's solid!

    There are bushings in the top mount, so when the suspension cycles itll allow the shaft to move as the arms cycle.
