Mine was the same way. In early December it said “mid-January” then late January, now April.

I assume they are just regurgitating whatever Bilstein tells them.

I ordered the Eibach fronts now. Will have to decide if I want to stick with the Bilstein rears that I have, or if I should get the Eibach rears to match.

 

did you get the Pro truck ones where you have to swap springs or the 2.0 fully assembled ones?

 

I had issues ordering mine back in Sept. no one had them even though it said on their web sites they had them in stock. Called 4wheel parts and they said the shocks were on back order from the factory. But they were on the top of the list to get them. I was on a list at 3 other online parts suppliers to be called when they came in. 2 Weeks later 4wheel got them in and we picked them up. In November I called the other suppliers and all of them said they were still backed ordered. Seems like they are on top of the suppliers list.

 

I just got the pro truck ones, I’ll have to swap springs.

Hmm, good to know. It seems like they are definitely in high demand.

 

It's odd, i only ever see Bilstein and Fox talked about for the F150, whilst it makes it much easier to decide, i did think it was odd there wasn't a wider swathe of solid options worth checking out.

Anyway, are the Eibach's rated highly too? not sure i've seen anyone talking about them before.

 

I am in the same boat. Ordered in December with January delivery but now it's looking like March or April. I am just going to wait it out since I still have stock tires anyway.

 

I wouldn’t have any reserves doing Eibach. They actually have the 2.0 out now that can actually be adjusted on the truck.

they are slightly cheaper then Fox, I think they were around 900-1000 for all 4.

fox uses Eibach springs on their ford performance shocks and I know a lot of guys use Eibach springs on the Bilsteins instead of stock.

I was going to get them instead of my Fox but for the extra $150 I just stuck with a shock I knew I’d be happy with

 

Look into the Eibach Pro Lift that is what I'm using I love their set up

 

Yeah i saw the pro lift kit, it's was fully 100% clear about fitting/lifts etc due to the parts all being available separately.

At this point, i'm thinking i should probably just save money and go with the 5100 4 piece kit and use my stock springs.
My question currently is going to be whether i go for the top lift amount on the front or just the 1.5 lift - i think my SCREW V8 would be the heaviest truck at the front, especially at it's trim level, so it wouldn't get the full 2.25 inches.

 

the 5100’s used to be just 2.1 at the highest. When I put them on my 3.5, I got about 1.85 of actual lift.
