Default 2014 Leveling Bilstein vs Eibach

Gentleman,

I am looking to spend some of my tax returns and want to purchase some adjustable shocks for my 2014 F150 5.0. For now I really don't want to go over 2 inches due to my antenna giving me the warning in a parking garage that I will be stuck using for the next year.

Bilstein was delayed releasing the 5100's forcing a lot of guys to try out the Eibach, but now Stage3 is selling both. Does anyone have any feedback which one they prefer?

I am also curious on how true the settings are for both brands- preferable on the weight of the 2014 with the 5.0 but any input helps.

Also, if I went the expensive route buying Fox 2.0, Icon, or Boss Coilovers would that be overkill for a 2 inch level? Thanks.

I really like the Bilsteins on my 2014 set at 1.75". I have no experience with the Eibachs.

Tagging along, I have the 2014 Stx super crew 2wd. Does bilstein make an adjustable 5100 shock? If so do you know where I can find a part number? Everything I see is for 4wd.

I just had the Eibachs put on my truck yesterday and they are awesome. I did the struts that came with their coils. I can't say enough about how great it rides. I have done spacers in the past as well as 5100's but this has been the best riding so far.
