I’m having a rear bumper with swing outs installed in 2 weeks so I’m sure I will have to raise my rear too. What did you use to do this other than lifting the bronco to get the weight off the collars?
I just lifted it from the frame to let the suspension fully sag. In the front I also disconnected the sway bar for a little bit more droop.
The shocks come with a collar/spring purge adjustment tool. I just slid the handle of the tool into about 18 inches of schedule 40 PVC pipe to get more leverage.

Guess I need to look in the eibach boxes with my stock shocks and springs and make sure they gave it back to me. Thankfully I will only need to raise the rear after getting the bumper installed. If I don’t have the wrench I will just buy a set of coil over wrenches from Walmart or amazon

That’s the bumper high on my list! Please do an install post. I’m in the other side of the country and will have to install it myself.
we used the special wrench that came with the system to adjust them. Not to terribly hard.
I got in on a local group buy and it includes install. They did a install on August 30 and it took quite awhile but there is a lot to the install so I’ve been told. Here is a video from IG of that install

I looked at those and settled on the Z Road Z slider step. I have really used the sliders and thankful for the extra width to match the fenders. Some of the trails here in the PNW are tight!
we had to raise the rear as well! We have an off-road trailer we tow. We didn’t want the sag.

It’s awesome!
im replacing the hitch with an articulating hitch soon. On order.
And researching new suspension. Not totally necessary, but will not be so jarring.
It’s a great trailer!

@Caleb@PandaMotorworks has some Belltech Kits in stock that are very similar to Eibach! Skip the wait and get a killer deal on them!

We are expecting a LARGE ORDER of Eibach in sometime this month though!!

What is the spring rates? Looking to compensate for modification weights without having to crank down on the preload..

One of the best parts with Eibach is you can call them and get different springs for this coilover to accommodate the added weight and not adjust preload. We just swapped springs for a customer for this exact reason you mentioned above and it turned out great!

We still have a couple of kits in stock. I can see about working a deal on it to help offset the cost of the new springs! Feel free to reach out to @Caleb@PandaMotorworks or myself!

What would be the steps to make this happen? I can get front and rear axle weights....

2.5 option would be nice. I like the ability to adjust ride height quickly.

They are adjustable. Can adjust them between +0.5-3.0" (Front) +1.2-2.7" (Rear)
