Default Eibach or Bilstein

I have used Holsteins on both my super duty and my old 2015 f150. The f150’s were the adjustable front bilsteins. The rode nice. I am looking at the eibachs, or the bilsteins for my 2023 f150. Looks like you can adjust the height on the eibachs even after installed. Any one running eibachs have any feedback on them?

I installed a set of Eibachs on my 21 Tremor last fall. Don't do any off roading but ride was improved on the street. They are adjustable on the truck, easy install . I cut the very long lower bolts on the factory front coilovers so I didn't have to remove the IWE or drop the lower control arms, as some do. Didn't have to pry on the lower control arm much to install the Eibach coilover. Tried removing the bolts from the factory coilover , but even with an air hammer they wouldn't budge so I cut them off with a die grinder and a 3" cutoff wheel. I installed them at the highest setting then backed them down a bit after driving it a bit. Easier to lower them once they're on the truck than raise them.

Read the full description when buying Eibach makes fully adjustable and spring perch adjustable. When looking for threaded adjustable coil-over consider where the adjustin collar is and metal used in the threaded body. Top adjuster are easy to work with much easier than lower adjusters. Aluminum threaded bodies need to have the spring load reduced to keep threaded collars and bodies intact. I have steel bodied top adjustable Icon 2.5s and the adjustment is easy to do. KM
