I have a 3” lift kit from Eibach, major improvements over the stock spirngs and shocks. I would never go back to just a leveling kit.
Do you have Eibach Pro Truck? If so, when did you get them? I've been waiting on back order for mine over a month...:frown:

Beautiful photos BTW...are you a pro photographer?

Eibach actually developed the kit on my truck so I am currently the only one with the kit, trust me when I say it’s gonna be worth the wait.

I am not a professional photographer but it’s one of my hobbies.

While I'm waiting (longer), can you elaborate how it's improved over stock?

I had the factory FX4 suspension and it was way too stiff so they softened it up a solid amount. Also with the new shocks it allows for a greater amount of suspension droop which is very helpful off-road. The only thing I still want to change is the single spring in the rear to a nice pack.

Just curious - what is the advantage of changing out the rear springs? I thought the advantage of the single leaf was that it gave a better ride unloaded but still allowed a lot of payload? What does a multi leaf setup buy you?

From what I understand it’s progressive with the spring pack, the single leaf is static.

I don't know a lot about all this stuff, but I thought the single parabolic leaf was supposed to perform better in both loaded and unloaded modes. That was the reason it was used. If you went back to a multi leaf arrangement, my understanding is that it would be rather stuff when unloaded and ride better when loaded.

Drove up to what I believe is the highest elevation in Orange County. We were driving through clouds, it was sub 40° and it was totally awesome. As I’m sure you’re all wondering how the ranger performed over a few thousand feet of elevation, everything was smooth as glass and I’m still 100% satisfied with this truck.
