Installed Eibach pro lift, like  Ryan stated much better "planted feel" , 3000 miles on Rancho's,  got soft. Still has rake, looking at new wheels and tires next. Couldn't space Trail Boss shocks just to level. Angles on UCA are not bad, but I will replace soon. Thanks Ryan.

Any extra lift with this setup on the trail boss?  What size tires are those?  Looks great.

I just had mine installed Monday and am thoroughly happy with the results. I went with the second groove for the strut and installed a 2” block in the rear. Rides great!! Will get a better picture lat

Got the kit installed today. I opted for the 1.9” lift setting (2nd clip from the bottom). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Nice truck. What setting did you use and how much lift did you get?  Is it stiffer than stock trailboss suspension?

Thanks for posting, looks great. 
 

How is the ride?  How much total lift did you get?

Ar you doing some Overlanding and if so, where have you gone?  I'm setting mine up for very mild Overlanding and will hopefully be taking a nice trip in the fall sometime, but being in Texas it takes a while to get anywhere which isn't conducive to weekend jaunts.

How is the ride with these kits?  Do the stiffer front springs have a negative affect on the overall ride?  Hate the floaty feel of the stock damping on the road, and the way the rear seems to jump all over the place going over washboard etc. on dirt roads.

Nice truck! I’m digging the overland look. We have similar taste!

Glad to help man. Truck looks great! With bigger tires it will transform

Thanks, its a work in progress. 2nd from top, 1 1/4" to 1 3/8", slope of driveway messes with measurement's. Only 100 miles since install, still really stiff. Thinking it will soften up when bigger tires go on. Have 8" springs in my Blazer, that's a stiff ride, the Eibach's are much better than the Rancho's. But people looking for factory ride should stick with factory suspension.

The ride is much better than stock. If your going to use the spring setting to lift the truck , than you can't look for a factory ride. I am sure you can search form to see trucks with lower settings that ride closer to factory.  I have mine set on 2nd stiffest setting and it rides hard on back roads I travel at 40 and 50 mph. Haven't ran highway speeds. Only 100 miles on kit, still just breaking it in. But I highly recommend it if your looking to level front or lift truck, cant see using the Rancho's with spacer blocks.

Haha. you pointed me toward the Go Rhino products; I found their DSS "sliders" which is what I am running. They look a little less useful than yours but equally not offensive compared to what most of this forum seems to do.


Where are you in CA? I am moving to Redding in three weeks.

Yeah I searched for a long time and Go Rhino seemed to be the closest to what I was looking for. After having them for a while they seem to be holding up okay so I’m happy. 


I’m out in West Marin near SF. I like the Shasta area a lot, we camp up there all the time.

I’m not looking for a stock ride, in fact the reason I’m considering the kit is because the stock ride sucks.  Feel like the main issue with the ride is the damping, so just wondering how stiff the front spring/shock combo feels.  Want to get rid of the 70’s caddy feel when going down the highway, but regularly drive on dirt/forest service roads so don’t want the higher spring rate to cause the ride the be jarring, if that makes sense.

Exactly why I got rid of the Rancho's,  "floating across the road". With only 100 miles on mine, they are stiff, not jarring,  but stiff feel the road. Haven't had it off road yet, bow season just started here. Very happy with ride and kit. I expect ride will change when I get taller heavier tires. I have had many lifted trucks, this doesn't feel like any of them.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
