Got them put on this morning. The instructions suck but I love the result. Definitely a little stiffer in the rear.
So...what was the front lift that you went with the rear springs you did in the back, it looks pretty level; no blocks in the back? Pics of them installed underneath?

The front is icon set at 2.5”. I didn’t want a lot of rake, just a tad. No blocks in the rear, only the Auto Spring Kits add a leaf custom ordered to 1-1.5” lift. Here’s before and after zoomed on the rear:

Just want to give a short update on the Eibach spacers. Well worth the $$$ and the short time to install them. My truck still driving very well and would not consider going back to just a level. Highly recommend lifting the rear by 1" if you're considering leveling the front.

Curious if you're still happy with the add-a-leaf after having them installed for a while. Looking at the same 1-1.5 as you did. I read some other comments about possible pinion angles issues/driveline vibration when adding leafs. Have you noticed any issues like this?

Hi Dave,

I think you are wise to consider this rear lift might in deed affect start up shudder and D/L vibration. It sees to be dependent on each truck...some affected and some not. The shimming of the center bearing on such lifts is Likely not an option.

Best,

I’ve had no issues with mine personally.
