Default Eibach Leveling System

Posted this on the other site and wanted to check in here as well...

Just found this tonite while doing a little search on the net.
https://eibach.com/us/2556/E86-35-03...ilover-stage-2
I've heard nothing but good things about Eibach in the past, and these are labeled for the 21-22 F-150.

Probably too soon to ask, but you never know: Has anyone installed one of these yet.

I haven't installed anything on my truck but have had good experiences with eibach in the past on sport compact cars. Would not hesitate to run eibach products

I'm running these on my 2019, same part number, and I'm really happy with them. I ended up lowering them down about 4 turns as it was dead level. I have about 3/4" of rake now.

Is that adjustable via the spanner AFTER installation? What's the adjustment range? Any alignment or driveability issues?

I'd like to level, but for the rare occasions when I'm towing or hauling a load, it would be nice to be able to re-introduce rake.

And maybe that's not feasible if you have to re-align for each setting.

Also curious to know what the answer is to this.

Definitely interested in this product as I'm not a fan of the spacer based level I'm using now.

Yes, they are adjustable on the truck via spanner. I jacked up the truck and turned the tire out to adjust. Adjustability is basically infinite as you are moving the spring perch on the threaded body.

Me neither. I ran spacers on my 2011 and 2012 F-150s (2011 died from hail damage here in North Texas while I was at work one day). In my opinion "only" the ride is rougher with the spacers, and I had several instances of the front end bottoming out, rather abruptly a couple times. Put Bilsteins on my 2016, and loved them. I remember back then having to wait on Bilstein to actually design and produce the new shocks on that new model design (2015+). It was aggravatingly slow. So for the time being I am back at the waiting game and won't be adding a spacer just for the sake of leveling the truck. I can live with it until something "valid" comes out.
