how much did it raise the front ? What size of tires did use ?
Stock tires. Lifted the front almost exactly 2 inches.

I'm 4WD and went with Old Man EMU but that is a lift and probably not what you are looking for.

Your truck is a 2wd ?
No, mine's a 4WD. My understanding is that the Eibach coilovers will lift a 2WD slightly higher up front because there is a bit less weight - maybe an extra quarter inch or so.

quangdog - based on my research I’m leaning to the Eibach for the front versus the leveling spacer I have installed now, looking for a improved ride.
I have replaced the rear with the Fox 2.0 and it helped but still washy.
Do you know Which Eibach model number you got for the front? Adjustable or fixed?

I picked up these coilovers for the front:

Previously I had a Rough Country 2.5" lift up front on top of stock FX4 shocks. These coilovers offer a smidge less lift (lost about .5") by default, but they can be adjusted pretty easily on-truck. I left them at their factory setting, and am VERY happy with the ride now.

When I installed these coilovers, I already had the Fox 2.0 shocks in the rear. I drove it for a short while with Eibach up front and Fox in the rear. If you already have the Fox 2.0 shocks in the back, you can just leave that as-is, but I actually swapped the Fox 2.0 shocks in the rear for the matching Eibach shocks instead. The Eibach shocks are a smidge firmer than the Fox, but I can't say for sure that I really can tell a difference in the ride between the Fox and Eibach rear shocks. I just wanted everything to match.

Here are the rear Eibach shocks I installed: https://eibach.com/us/1935/E60-35-048-01-01-FORD-Ranger-pro-truck-sport-shock
