Eibach Coilover OEM vs Eibach Coil?

[CammeronJ]

Hi All,

I have an Eibach suspension kit on order from Stage3 (https://eibach.com/product/E86-35-048-02-22?epsid=1935).


I thought I'd done all the research I needed but now I'm noticing comments about OEM vs Eibach Coils regarding ride height. I've tried to research the question and looked at Eibachs online install docs but most be missing something as I'm not finding an answer:

Most threads I've read say Eibachs are set to a default of 2.0" or 2.5" for the front. (To me "default" would mean with the eibach hardware/coil)
However I'm seeing threads that also say Eibachs can't go below 3" for the front when using the Eibach Coil.

I'm just looking to level the truck and I'm seeing images where the front is clearly higher than the back.

Can anyone with experience with the Eibach Coilovers clarify if they give 2.5" with the Eibach Coil (which should be roughly level) or does it do a minimum of 3" only and you must use the OEM coil?

Mine came set around 2 inches of lift. I turned mine down to about an inch and a quarter. Best part of the Eibach is you can adjust the height with them on the truck.

eibach.com/product/E86-35-048-01-22?epsid=2264 Says 0-3.75 inches of lift.Also you can call or email them if not in a hurry.I did and they did get back to me.

I had them on my '19 set at 2.5". It was very close to level and the ride was great! You can't go wrong putting these on and will wish you did them sooner.

In order for me to get 2 1/2” level only, I needed to use my stock coils not the ones that came with the Eibach pro-truck kit, so yes I believe theirs are for 3” and greater

That’s what I read also, but not with their coils

That's strange because I use the Eibach coils and had no trouble. I'm positive too because I had the stock shocks for free on here and couldn't even give them away. lol

Same. I used the Eibach coils and have no issues with them.

Initial out of the box was 2-1/8" Check video at the 4.00 minute mark.

You rock brother. This answers it clearly. Thanks so much.


Thank you to everyone who replied in this thread. I appreciate this community and the help you all provide.

This will be my third functional change to the truck (not counting ignition ring, stubby antenna, and wireless charging). My first was tires, second was a hidden winch and ACC relocation) and I'm excited! Later on I plan to do lights, and some overlander gear. As my wallet permits of course. I get excited every time I get to modify it.

maybe a different kit, all I know is that's what eibach told us if you want to get the lower level
