Yeah, i know this is an old thread but, I ordered the Eibach Leveling struts and rear shocks for my 14 F150 today. I have called Bilstein off and on for the last 2 months. Every time I call them the date just gets pushed out more and more. Eibach has a good reputation and I thought Id give them a try. I will have them installed on Saturday and post a review then. Anyone else have them on their F150???

 

Nice thread to bring back Id say.
Ill be interested to see your puckup with the eibachs installed.

 

So now the real question, What clip to use. Eibach says the 3rd clip from the bottom is 1.7' and the top clip is 2". I snowmobile and I tow, but nothing heavy. The most weight will be the T3 in the bed of the truck. 500 LBS roughly. I am going to run a 275/70/18 on the stock rims over the winter. But next spring I will be going to a 285/70/18 or a 275/65/20. I think I better go ahead and use the 4th clip and go with the full 2" lift on the front. Please give me your opinion on what clip I should go with 3rd or 4th.

FYI The truck is a 14 F-150 SuperCrew with 6.5 Box and its got the 5.Zero motor.

 

Besides King , Eibach makes the best Coil springs on the market and have for long time , many of the higher end coil overs come with Eibach Coil Springs .. I know my Fox have them ...Id imagine as good as the springs are their coil overs will be top notch as well ...
It depends what kind of ride you want ... handling like a sports car or a sport truck , heavier springs mean less body roll in the corners usually handing is better as far as the shock goes I like my FOX 2.0 the ride is firm but not jarring ... They kick a** off road ... 40 mph down washboard gravel roads is pretty smooth compared to crawling at 15 mph feeling all the bumps ...its almost as good as on pavement ...

 

I just finished installing mine yesterday. My 2014 screw 6.5' max tow just hit 100k miles so I wanted to replace the factory struts and figured I gain a little lift upfront in the process. I put mine on the second ring from bottom which is only
.75" lift. I tow a lot and wanted to keep the rake. I will post some pictures tomorrow. I also installed their pro truck +1" rear shocks because I added the raptor 2.5" rear blocks. I'll post on how they ride and handle once I get it aligned and also on how they are for towing once I hook a trailer up. I can say comparing them to factory they are much stiffer and beefier which is what I was hoping for.

 

Got the eibach pro leveling installed. Toyo 295/70/18 AT2 tires. The eibach's ride is awesome. I could not be happier. I'm going to order the 2" blocks from Autospring on Monday.

 

Thanks for the details, I am really interested in these. Always been a fan of eibach and they are a local company. I have a couple questions for you:

Did you have to reuse the spring perch from the oem strut?

Did the 2" position really equal 2"?

 

yes, the spring perch does get reused. It is easily taped off the OEM strut with a small hammer. No big deal at all.

Yes, the 2" setting gets you a full 2 inches of lift.

Like I i said, ride quality is great. Much better that the stock marshmallow struts and shocks.

 

Can't agree more. Finished installing mine Friday for aligned Saturday and been driving it all weekend. It rides like a truck now. It's not too rough but just firmer now and much better as far as handling, much less body roll I've noticed. I only went with this second notch so I got .75" lift then I added new rear blocks. Pulling my gooseneck dump trailer tomorrow with a couple loads of limestone so I'll let everyone know how that goes.

 

I have the xlt 4x4 offroad package and I don't notice hardly any body roll. I live in the mountains so I see plenty of winding roads and it handles like a champ.

My real issue is when I get down the hill and hit the freeways, oh man when I'm doing 80 and hit bumps and cracks and uneven pavement (LA area) it feels like the back end jumps to the side and it's a hair from loosing control. It is really bad and feels unsafe.
