Hey guys, the Shock Surplus truck is mine, so let me know if you have any questions on the Eibachs or anything else. They are coming off soon and we'll probably throw Bilstein 6112/5160's on to test next.

I have a quick question if you don't mind. I was leaning towards the Ford Fox 2.0 kit but purchased the Eibach ProTruck Stage 2 w/RR after hearing your comments in the video. I think it's a better value overall.

The question I have is do you have aftermarket UCA's installed? If so, did it increase the droop range? I don't plan on going any higher than 2.5" up front, but I'm seriously thinking about upper UCAs if I can get more droop travel to make up some for that is lost with the lift.

I'm running SPC UCA's. The Caster and Camber adjustment are the biggest benefit of these. Yes, you will increase your droop travel. Any aftermarket UCA should give a increased joint angle over stock. We normally recommend the SPC or the Icon with there delta joint.


Check out our UCA video for some more general info.

Thanks much! That is the exact UCA I was looking at. I was on the fence about it though if it wasn't going to increase droop travel much. Thanks for spending my money :beer:

Unfortunately Shock Surplus, doesn't pay for my truck. It's still my personal truck, and need it for my daily commute, getting my kids to school, family expeditions and Home Depot trips. I have other vehicles for beating on. ?

got a good test ride- these balance out with the 2.0 coilover way better than the regular pro truck sport did. small bumps and general drives feel soft like the fx shocks minus all of the bad parts. rebound feels good, they don’t pack up or donkey kick. i also have icon springs so factor that in too.
i’m very happy with the way these feel.

That's great to hear. I have a set of the global leaf springs ready to go with the install. Not quite Icons, but they are progressive and much better than the factory leaf. I just need to order up some SPC upper control arms and I'm ready to go.
