I specifically asked Eibach about their spring rate when I bought my shocks from them. Their statement was that their springs were designed for trucks with winches and other accessories. If you dont have a heavier front end than stock then their springs arent going to help as they are stiffer than the stock spring rate.

There isn’t much to it. Just buy the unit and a trailer adapter for our trucks. It’s plug n play beyond that.

Installed Redarc Tow Pro Elite proportional brake controller.

Word has it Fluid Film dissolves the wax coating GM uses on our frames and takes a bad situation and makes it worse.

If you are looking for real power gains, shorties are not your answer. You need to go with long tubes.

Does anyone have any good leads on AMP plug n play running boards. Id love a set of these, but at $1500, there is no way in hell I'm going to bite that bullet. Any vendors that have these for a good price? Do they ever go on sale? I see at some point AMP was doing a rebate on them, but that doesn't appear to be the case right now.

Installed the Eibachs today. Full review to come, but during the test drive they are a significant improvement over the ranchos. Honestly on my truck I never felt like the Ranchos were lacking in the handling department, but they totally sucked when it came to absorbing a bump... frost heaves, speed bumps, etc... it was horrendous. The thing was like a bucking bronco. One frost heave near my house in particular I couldn't take at over 5 mph. During the test drive I hit the same heave at 5, 10, and 20mph and it was hardly even noticible. So, a definite improvement in that regard. The ride is slightly stiffer (and I mean slightly) but not bad at all. For what its worth, I installed the Eibachs on the 3rd setting and I have ~1" of rake. The 3rd setting did actually give me a little more lift than I wanted, but I will see if the suspension settles at all. I actually think the Eibachs give a little more lift than the Bilsteins. I saw ~1.75" of lift in the front end on the 3rd setting. So I would expect just over 2" for the highest setting. All in all, they seem like a nice set. I will give it some time, get an alignment, and report back. Note: in the picture below the truck is on a slight incline which makes it look like its a little nose high (just look at the wheel gaps).

They certainly do look nearly identical, but Eibach claims they make their own shocks. Also, they only state a 2" lift for our trucks. See below for the instructions for the front shocks... not exactly earth shattering stuff.

Not yet, I may tackle them this weekend.

Parts came in today:

I've always wondered about Texas-Speed's headers. They seem like a solid bang for the buck stainless header/y-pipe. http://www.texas-speed.com/c-3288-headers-xy-pipes.aspx

Fixed for you.

What am I missing here... whats the difference between my LT's headlights and the LTZ?
