Eibach Stage 2R Kit Installed

[bmthandrew]

Finally got around to getting the Eibach Stage 2R installed, rides so much better than stock. Haven’t taken it offroad but even just daily driving, sharp turns don’t feel like the whole truck is gonna flip over anymore. Stays planted. However, I did have to remove my front OEM Canadian mud flaps due to rubbing when making turns. Had the East Coast Gear Supply Replacement bearing installed as well, I figured since I had everything removed, I might as well go ahead and get that put in.

Thanks man, I appreciate it! I think the silver bolts give it a good contrast

Honestly one of the cleanest best looking builds I've seen. All subtle, nothing overdone.

The ECGS bearing, was that just preventative?

Thanks brother & yes. I always hear how the stock needle bearing fails pretty quickly after lifting. I’m sure some people get away with never having to mess with it but yeah just preventative.

Looks very nice!! Do you you have measurements in hight before and after the lift?

I never took measurements before and after installing anything :( my apologies! I could try and get some measurements when I get home from work

Turned out really nice!
I recently also installed the eibach stage 2 (non resi) kit along with JBA UCA’s on my 2025 sport. Noticed in your description you mentioned “bottom threads”. Did you lower the spring perch down to the bottom thread?
Only asking because I installed my coilovers with the eibach factory location of the spring perch and ended up with over 3” lift. My front center hub to fender measurement with factory suspension was 21”…..Ended up over 24” after installing the eibach coilovers. After driving around it settled about 1/4” . I lowered my spring perch quite a bit to get the lift down to right under 2”. If it settles more I can crank it back up easily.

I also think this kit rides great and is a great bang for the buck suspension kit.
Congrats on your truck…..looks great!

I installed the front coilovers at factory setting, I assumed I would still have some rake due to the +1” rear springs. Despite having the +1” rear springs, it was squatting hardcore AF. We ended up lowering the perch all the way to the bottom thread and with that, it leveled the truck. Not really what I was expecting but at least I got rid of the squat. If I went higher with the perch, my truck would definitely be squatting. As I put more miles on it, I may have to raise the perch as it settles. I didn’t take any measurements, this was all just what I was visually seeing lol
Also thanks man!

Thank you a bunch for replying ! Was wondering if anyone else ran into these front coilovers giving more lift than expected. I’ve read eibach suggests that at factory setting the fronts give around 1.8” to 2” lift which can vary depending on weight of truck.

You probably also got around 3”+ with the factory setting of the spring perch. That would have definitely put you front end high by nearly 2”. I’m now at 2” lift in front and have about maybe 4 -5 threads left until I bottom it out.
I did add a 3/4” spacer to the eibach rear coils to get a total of 1 3/4” rear lift. Wanted to keep close to factory rake. Pretty close now since I lowered the fronts.

I think a lot of people unintentionally squat these trucks. There really isn't that much rake if you go by the cab. If you even out the wheel wells, it's squatted IMO.
I had to go to the 1" setting on my 5100s which gave 1.5" at the front wheel well. Put .5" in the rear which gave it it the slightest amount of rake. Maybe between .25 & .5"

How does it ride compared to the stock sport suspension?

How does it ride compared to the stock sport suspension?

I’ve only got -100 miles on it post lift. So far, it seems a bit more forgiving vs factory sport suspension. I’m hoping it gets even better after suspension settling and breaking in. My Sport is only a couple months old with 1300 miles. I knew the sport would come with stiffer suspension but my plans were to install the eibach kit to soften the ride and lift 2”.
