‘24 BD, 2.3 automatic. Non-Sasquatch.
Pics are…Before, then 35” tires stock suspension, then last 2 with Eibachs. Love them by the way. Very cushy ride and plenty of height adjustability. Eibach has a chart that tells how much lift you’ll get out of the box. I turned my adjusters down allmost all the way.

Thanks for the reply nice looking ride. I think I’m want to turn mine down also. If I’m correct they come set at 3 “ I think I would like to get about 2”

I'm running the Eibachs on my BL, very satisfied. I'd recommend installing as they come out of the box and put a few miles on before making adjustments.

When you put them on you need to get it aligned correct? If you you adjust them later do you need to get it realigned?

Installed some for a couple last summer on a black diamond. Final pic is him on 35s. Great coilovers. Drive it for a few days so it will settle then take it for an alignment job.

For the most part, no, because the suspension geometry is not changing. However, if I noticed any substantial changes in tire wear, I would verify it.

I was able to replace the original Hitachi units in my OBX with Bilstein's (0.7" gain in lift) without needing to realign the suspension (tire wear is fine). It's probably not factory perfect, but it is close enough not to matter.

Yes, alignment will be needed to check TOE, camber and tracking front to rear. So long as you keep the lower control arm adjustments the same as pre-lift you should be close enough to put a few miles on. No need to re-align after adjustments are made unless the adjustments are drastic.

Once you've installed the new parts, getting a professional alignment is a must. This isn't just to keep your tires from wearing out unevenly, but also to make sure your car drives and handles the way it should—safely and smoothly. Also, the suspension will settle after the install, so it's a good idea to check everything again after you've driven a bit. If things feel loose, re-tighten them. It's better to be safe than sorry.

I ran mine a few days before adjusting the height and getting aligned and it drove great, but I lowered the adjusters a bit before I installed them. I lowered the front approximately another inch and the rear 1/2”. My son did the alignment and said the only setting significantly off was the camber. I didn’t do any actual measurements except comparing thread exposure from side to side to get them the same. You can put a tape measure on it and check the toe.
