It feels a lot taller behind the wheel too. The bigger tires add another 1.5" all around.

This is a prime example On why I do almost everything myself.

Long story short, I brought the truck in have my Bilsteins installed. Told them to set at highest setting. I got it back and it didn't seem higher at all. So I just looked and they are set at stock height.

I'm going to call tomorrow but my question is can that perch be moved up easily? Or does the whole front need to get torn apart again?

That is actually what I want - better ride but no leveling. With no height adjustment did they still have to adjust your lights? What about alignment. I got a quote for a big truck accessory dealer and installation related cost dwarfed the cost of shocks.

They didn't touch the lights. If I have people flashing me I can adjust myself, apparently it's not hard.

Suspension alignment definitely. The whole front suspension is coming apart and going back together. Installation was twice what I paid for the shocks.

Yay, glad they're taking care of you!

Yeah I'm surprised how easy that went. I was all set for some pushback and got none.

I was totally afraid of that when I had my Eibach's installed at the dealer. So I set them where I wanted them ahead of time and just asked them to swap them out. Worked perfectly. It was just a snap ring to move.

Gosh I didn't know anything about asking for a height adjustment. I just took the Eibachs and the truck to the shop down the road (owner/operator of the shop used to work in a Ford dealership service dept.) and told him to take the stock rear shocks off and put the new Eibachs on. Eye balling, the truck looks to sit the same as before... I didn't take any measurements before or after.

My rear ones weren't adjustable, only the front. It levels it out only which means only the fronts come up to match the stock rear height. I think the eibachs are the same?

I should have been clearer... yea, I only had rears replaced. So that would be normal not to have to specify a height preference since there is no adjustment for rears?
