My dad said Eibach bought Bilstein's old manufacturing equipment when they built their new production plant and started making shocks with the cheapest parts they could find. He says they are ok, but they don't tend to last as long because the rubber seals break down too quickly because they cheaped out and used crappy rubber from somewhere in Asia. They are okay if you want to replace really bad shocks and just want something that will work for a while, but for longevity you can't beat Bilstein or a Tenneco brand aftermarket offering. 

Thats an interesting take on it. I haven't heard anything about them. Although at the price of 240 for just fronts, plus install and alignment at 250. that puts me awfully close to just going outright for foxs. Its hard to make these decisions.

I paid $240 for my Pro Comp fronts and $150 for the rears and did the install myself. You don’t need an alignment unless you raise the front.

Well I mean leveling the front raises it so I would have to get a alignment anyway.

Yeah if you are at stock height you need one, I was already at 2" in front so I didn't get one, that's why I said that. Sorry, I was under the impression that anytime you mess with front suspension at all you need an alignment, and my professional mechanic buddy told me only if you remove UCA or one of the other adjustable components. Thought I'd share that revelation because I didn't know.

Huh, my mechanic buddy told me what you thought. Messing with any of the angles should get an alignment done. Wonder which is true. I'm still at stock height, I got some money and am just deciding how to spend it. Pro comps, or bilsteins, or foxes

I have the Eibach Pro-Truck Sport shocks in the front. This is the before and after with them set to the second highest setting. It now sits at 39 1/4" in the front and 40 1/8" in the back.

How are you liking this setup? It looks perfect. I figure 2 years is enough time for a satisfaction/reliability check & I’m giving these a look. So what’s the verdict?

They are firmer than the stock Ranchos, but if you don’t mind that then this is a pretty decent way to go for the money in my opinion.
