I recently purchased the Eibach 2.0 coil overs, I wanted to ask how folks feel about them in general. At 62,00 miles on my Silverado, I thought it would be a great idea to eliminate the stock Rancho shocks.  Thanks!

I installed Eibach's Pro Truck kit last October with 75k miles; while not the 2.0 kit, they were a huge improvement over the stock worn out shocks and coils. I also added Rough Country's upper control arms; I strongly recommend them if you are raising the front. The arms, in addition to being heavier, are designed to prevent the control arm topping out on the frame.

I have long been a fan of Eibach suspension, they have been a leader in the field for a long time.

That’s awesome, I’ve only been hearing great things about Eibach. The 2.0 coilovers should be a nice improvement for my Silverado. I will look into the upper control arms, as I would want to lift the pickup 2.5” in the front, and add a 2” block for the rear;  along with rear shocks as well.

If you don’t mind me asking, what size tire do you have on your pickup?

I'm running 285/70/17 Cooper ST Maxx. The Eibach kit gave me about 2.5" of front lift and I didn't add anything to the rear. Truck sits nice and level, the tires clear with no issue. no trimming was needed.

Awesome man, any chance you would  know what the motion ratio would be for a 2014 Silverado?

The new 2.0 coilover kit does not tell you specifically what your lifting the truck at. They say it’s pre set to level out with the back. Long story short, in case I need to adjust the coil, I need to know the motion ratio to compensate the raise?

I also have the pro truck kit with the upgraded coil springs. I got kryptonite UCAs and I love the setup. My brother liked it so much he got the same suspension but went with motofab UCAs. Both very pleased with Eibach. I would imagine the coilovers are going to be great.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
