Badlands Sasquatch Eibach Pro Truck Coilover 2.0 Kit Not Giving Advertised Height

[BricknoseBronco]

Has anyone whos installed the Eibach Pro Truck Coilover 2.0 kit on their Sasquatch Bronco had issues getting the height they advertised? I have the front coilovers set to the max setting of 84 mm. However, I barely got 1 3/4 inches of lift. They say it should be 2.2 inches. It looks like I maybe have 2-3 threads remaining on the coilover till the adjustment colar is maxed out. Has anyone adjusted them all the way till they stop on the fronts? The rear seems find. Im not even close to the max setting on the rear, but still have like a 1 inch rake going on. So dont want to adjust the rear any more. Can anyone whos got the full height chime in? Eibach says anything more than 84 mm could damage the shock. Just wondering real world advise here on these shock set ups.

Not that it should matter, but I did also do the Zone upper control arms. I also did the rear Rock Jock track bar relocation bracket. Im also not sure on that as it seems to have pushed the rear tire out to the right (when viewed from the rear). I think maybe for this lift size I didnt need the relocation bracket. Has anyone else dont this relocation set up with the Eibachs?

The front is nearly a 2:1 ratio so those threads might get you another 1/4".

My tires get into the fenders pretty bad so I was considering a small spacer on top of the coilover to lower the bumpstops, that would get you more height but would add (possibly undesirable) droop.

Are you maxed out on your threads? And I had that same thought of adding a 1 inch leveling kit and actually dropping the adjustment collar down a little. But to your point, max droop would probably be an issue. I’m just kindve bummed it doesn’t give me the recommended height. Did you get full height out of yours? Are you running 37s? I’m beginning to wonder if I made the right choice on these coilovers or not as I was trying to run 37s.

I am running 37s but I'm only about half way on the threads, I wanted it low.

Halfway on the threads? So you lowered it out of the box? I feel like if I had done that it would be the same exact height as stock.

I think I put them straight on without adjusting at all. It's at least an inch over stock, I'm 3-4" taller when parked next to a stock Sasquatch.

Consider going to the heavy duty front springs since you have a V6 and a winch?
I do find it odd that you’re not getting close to advertised height though. I have both a heavy bumper and winch and my adjusters on the front are only 1.5” or so up the threads. But like @Tricky Mike I didn’t want a lot of height because of cv angles, and articulation considerations.

I do NOT have a winch, just the 2.7 as I mentioned. And I definetly am able to achieve full lift from the rear, just not the front. Im going to be pretty pissed if I have to turn around and buy another set of springs after just spending the money on the complete coilovers. If I have to do that, I would have just bought the more expensive coilovers out there. The fact is, I have a stock Badlands Sasquatch with the 2.7, no additional weight up front. At the max setting recommended by Eibach at 84 mm I dont even have 2 inches of lift.

Sorry, I was looking at your profile pic that appears to have a winch. I’m not saying you shouldn’t be dissatisfied. I agree with that.
