    I know it’s been beat, but I couldn’t find anything on it.

    Is anyone running the front Eibach coilovers only? I’m looking at fitting 295/70/18’s and am 100% pavement only. Would it be feasible to only run these or is it recommended to at least do some type of lift in the rear as well? I was almost ready to just do a 3/1 level with a spacer lift, but if this is possible I’d rather have the better ride quality.

    Thanks in advance.

    Its a 3" front lift. You are going to want to lift the rear so your front doesnt look high.
    Just go for the kit

    I know it’s just for the front. I should have been more clear.

    Would I be ok just running blocks in the rear for the lift and saving a couple hundred bucks?

    I am also curious if this setup is possible. Just using the eibach lift in the front and the shackles in the back with the stock bilsteins.

    This is exactly what I’m thinking, and would like to run. Just curious if it’s possible....

    I mean I’m sure it’s possible. But recommended? I dunno...

    I asked David with Toytec and he said running just the fronts with shackles in the back would be fine as long as you don’t articulate the rear end too much. Articulating too much would over extend the stock bilsteins.

    I think you should be fine OP running that setup for what you described your uses.

    By articulate I assume you mean lift? I would just do the 1” shackles.

    Good to know it’ll work!
