Front strut problems with my 2019 RST z71

[Mac Cheeseman]

I got my truck back in august and it was a demo with 3600 on is. I can't stand the damn front end floating when you drive it a little hard. Anyone else having similar issues? I got the rancho rsx9000's for the back and it helped a bunch but nobody makes anything even reasonably affordable for the front on these trucks. Any suggestions

Look at rough country. I saw on their site yesterday they have 2" lift replacement struts. They are using the N3 shock inside of the spring for the strut setup.

The stock Ranchos on the Z71 really are bad in the front. So boaty, like you said. 
 

Eibach makes a replacement shock that is supposed to be pretty good. 
 

Bilstein is saying they will release their 5100 shock for the T1s this quarter.

Is it Bilstein > Eibach or does it depend on use case?

Depends on who you ask, I suppose. But Bilstein is a very trusted brand.

I bought Eibach for front and rear but don’t have time to install until after January 20th. The full rut is on in South Texas. They have a great reputation and made in America.

they are suppose to be pretty similar to each other the eibach and bilsteins

Has eibach released their complete lift kit yet?

they have struts but not springs, they said springs mid jan, but you can use stock springs.....another member just got kit few weeks ago but I forget who....

 

ps: its snuff in post above, he has kit

It is a truck, not a corvette.  yeesh.

I think your problems are "demo" related. "Demo" means "Dealer Loaner." Why just this very morning I drove my loaner through a field at 50mph in the snow for funsies.
