This should take care of the jittery rear end, and hopefully helps with some of the pitch and roll.

The build quality was better than expected and I’m really looking forward to getting this kit installed. Thanks @Hotshot Offroad

Glad we could help! Definitely keep us posted with some pics and feedback once you get those babies on the truck!

First off, the ride is less bouncy but I am still running the standard tires and I am getting 1.5" of lift. Plan to change to LT tires which I think will firm up the ride. I completely went a different route than the instructions which was provided by Eibach. Mainly, I removed the lower control arm form the frame instead of removing the upper control arm from knuckle. I simply didn't want to overextend the driveshaft. For me the rear shocks proved to be a bit difficult as it was a real ***** to compress them! Unlike Fox or Bilstein, Eibach is not strapped and is in full extended form!! Not the most desirable form for a garage worrier! I also replaced camber/caster oem nut with the Eibach one. Today I took the truck for alignment and while I was there, I came across a brand I used to admire.

You mentioned the caster/camber nut replacement, is this something that comes with the kit, or did you order it separately?

@Hotshot Offroad included a SPC camber kit (for free) with my order. They didn't advertise it, but offered when I sent a message through the forum.

Talk to the shop that wants to install the camber kit and see if they recommend it or not. I installed them myself and when I took it for alignment, shop said they wish I had kept the original ones as they felt the original one gave them more wiggle room for adjustment.

I'll definitely keep that in mind. Did you use the SPC kit?

What I received from Eibach back when I ordered seems to be different than what they offer now. Below I have attached two images of what I ordered and a link to what Eibach offers now.

The SPC kit was great. I got it to dial right in to my paint marks from my previous alignment within a quarter turn. Locked it down and I’ll let it settle before I do a toe plate alignment.

I have a 21' powerboost, and am going to have the eibach kit installed tomorrow on my truck. Was thinking that I wouldnt need to make any adjustments to the collar, but wondering what other peoples feedback is from guys that have powerboosts.

Installed the Eibachs. I am annoyed that Eibach didn't provide more information about ride height, I guess they were hesitant to, since these trucks vary so much from the trims and drivetrains.

I had to turn the passenger side down 5 full turns below the drivers side due to a half inch height difference.

I'm getting it aligned today, and I will probably need to make small height adjustments once they settle some more next week.

Edit: my dealer didn't have time to align it, even with an appointment. ?

Dropping it off at an Off-road shop on Monday for an alignment and having them installed the SPC HD cam bolts.

What did everyone set their collars to? Mine came out of the box at maximum height. I turned down the drivers front to 40mm of thread left and the passenger front to 27mm of thread left.

What kind of lift/height do you think you got ?

Mine didnt "lift" the rear per se', but rides better than the Fox 2.0's did
