Opinions.

Fox 2.0 vs Eibach Leveling
If you mean the Eibach Pro-Truck Struts versus Fox 2.0s, if you're setting the Eibachs at their max height with the OEM spring, the Fox 2.0s tend to ride smoother on the street and perform a bit better off-road.

If you're setting the Eibachs lower, street ride isn't that much different.

If you're using Eibach's spring at the recommended settings, ride quality is pretty much the same, and off-road damping is going to be close. The only advantage the Fox 2.0s really have here is build quality, since they have billet mounts.

Granted, the real advantage at this point is the fact that the Eibachs are actually available while the Fox 2.0s are in the wind. Not to mention, if you do need that extra durability, the Eibach 2.0 Coilovers have billet mounts.

Thinking about either the Bilstein Leveling Shock Kit (19RNGR4WD) at $389 vs the similar Eibach kit at almost the exact same price.

How would these compare?

Do both have lifetime warranties?

Thanks!

The Stage 1 Kit comes with Eibach's 2.0 coilovers, whose principle benefit is a wider range of ride height adjustment, better build quality, slightly better off-road damping, and arguably a smoother ride at higher ride heights than the Pro-Trucks reusing the stock spring.

At least, in theory. Like I said earlier, we have not tried the Eibach 2.0s on a truck yet. We were potentially going to put a set on my F150, but the 09-13 2.0 coilovers are delayed in development.

There's not a ton of difference between the two, frankly. Having been in F150s with both, they're essentially the same. The only thing the Eibachs have on the Ranger is that they can go a little taller on ride height than the Bilstein 5100s. Other than that, the only other differences are availability and color scheme.

Do both have lifetime warranties?
Yep.

Will the Eibach Pro level the Ranger? The 3” on the front is holding me back. I don’t want the ease to sit lower.

One more update:

10% off COBB Tuning.

I take it you meant "rear" instead of "ease".

In any case, from my understanding, 3" will get you closer to "dead-level" than anything lower, though you could potentially be slightly nose-high until your suspension fully breaks in.

If you're concerned about ride height, the Eibachs also have a 2.25" ride height setting.

Jason - I am between the Fox & Radflo 2.5", are there any deals on Radflo packages?

I have read your comments on the Fox 2.0s prior, and found it helpful.

Unfortunately, we're not doing anything on Radflo this year. Our margins are pretty thin on those guys.

They may be doing something on their own, if you want to buy them direct. We haven't tried Radflos on any of our trucks as of yet, but they seem like a good option.

I have read your comments on the Fox 2.0s prior, and found it helpful.
Glad I could be of assistance. Let me know if you have any further questions.

What CAI do you guys recommend? The AFR shows higher hp and tq numbers on the Dyno than the Mishimoto and is $50 plus dollars cheaper.

Officially, we have no specific intake recommendations. We have tried all of one on a Ranger thusfar.

Personally, I'd do a nice, dry reusable, drop-in panel filter if it were my truck, at most an Airaid Jr. kit whenever it is they hit the market.

If you're not tuning your truck, the most you'll probably see from any intake is maybe 5-10 peak horsepower that occurs way outside the peak torque band.

Take any dyno with a grain of salt, especially when it's not the exact same dyno with the exact same truck under the exact same temperature/ambient conditions.

If you're tuning the truck, then it's a bit of a different story, since the increased air demand from the turbo when generating extra boost pressure may mean the extra airflow from an intake can help more significantly.

We haven't done our own dynos yet, and we likely won't.

TL;DR: do whichever intake makes you happy, since the minor differences in dynos probably aren't different out in the real world. Both aFe and Mishimoto are fine in our experience.

Thank you for the info. I forgot to mention, I already have the AWE exhaust so my previous experience with a Focus ST leads me to believe the CAI will add some benefit. I might add a tune down the road but am very happy with just the exhaust right now.
