Harsh Eibach ride quality

[Patriot_1979_us]

23 XLT, SCrew, 3.5 4x4.

I installed the Eibach 2.0s and thought it was a really harsh ride. I even got a little bump steer.

I knew I would see some improvement after lowering. I put on new wheels and tires to ensure everything clears and lowered 6 turns per side. Truck now has ~1.25" of rake.

It still needs an alignment but drives like an absolute dump truck. Think I should lower it some more to improve ride quality? I'm really disappointed in these.

I put a set of the Eibach 2.0 on my 24 3.5 EB XLT about 15,000 miles ago. I am at stock ride height and put them on mainly to improve handling and bouncing while towing. I wanted shocks that weren’t as harsh as the Bilsteins but would sill improve towing and handling performance. In my experience these Eibachs have delivered exactly that. I think they are an excellent shock and my truck rides great on them. I would definitely buy them again. They do ride slightly harsher than the stock shocks I will say. I think if a guy wanted to get the best ride possible go with the FOX shocks. I haven’t tried them myself but in my research everyone that had em thought the ride was much improved.
