Eibach pro truck kit
Super excited to complete this mod. All of my former F150s had the B5100’s.
When using their provided spring you must use the lowest purchase point. When you open the box you can see why. The eibach spring are a third taller than stock.
i used a HD clam spring compressor; it wasn’t enough. I had to walk the spring down with the clam and two more single clamps. (I know it’s not safe). Finally had the spring compressed, popped it in and.....raised the front end so high my rear end is squatting. No weight in bed 1/2 tank of gas.
center hub front wheel 26” both sides, center hub rear 24.5”.
i am talking with Eibach but I’m not super excited about wasting my Saturday to put a product on that I’m going to need to swap/change out😢

My measurement won’t help much because I’m running 35” tires. I do have an add a leaf in the rear and a block about 3/4” bigger in the rear and I’m sitting with a 2” rake. If you still want those measurement I’ll get them tomorrow in the daylight. I have a 4x4 5.0

If you wouldn’t I’d appreciate it. If you take it the measurements from center axle up to fender it won’t matter the tire size. Thank you. I’m at 26” in the front.

Im measuring 25 1/4 on both front wheels. 26 1/2 on both back wheels. Guess I was wrong about my 2” rake hah. I’d say the difference between ours might be because of the engine.

You’re welcome. My truck has the 5.0. The only info I could find online showed about an 80# difference between engines with the 5.0 being heavier. I don’t think that’s enough to compress those springs nearly an inch. You could just add a leaf or bigger blocks and call it a day. Have you driven it around since the new coils? It may settle a tad but not the difference we are seeing here.
