That still requires us to buy BOTH sets of springs though, right?

It would be nice to have the option of just getting the HD springs without having to buy parts that don't' get used.
Correct. Eibach does not offer them pre-assembled with the HD springs yet. So you have to buy them with standard springs and purchase HD springs seperate to swap on. But yes, that would be nice, hope to see that as an option eventually.

Well I just ordered the coilovers and rear HD springs as I've got a roof top tent and bike rack on my 2-door so this will be a nice fix to my current squat issues. Looking forward to getting them installed before a 6-week roadtrip this winter.

Just installed the 2.0s yesterday with the stock springs. I purchased from Panda, but was not aware of any HD spring upgrade at the time. I have a bone stock Badlands Sasquatch with the 2.7 and only getting 1 3/4" lift out of the front, with the setting of 84mm as the max height on Eibachs instructions. It looks like I have about 2-3 max threads left to adjust up but would be exceeding the max Eibach setting. Has anyone adjusted all the way up till it stopped on the front springs?

Also, how many of you did the Rock Jock rear track bar relocation after the 2.0s? I installed that as well but looks like it pushed my rear axle out to the right. Its noticeable when looking at it from the rear. Thinking the track bar relocation wasnt needed. Thoughts?

Thats about the norm. I have the same trim and setup. Eibach does state actual lift amount will vary based on weight setup. My guess is they don’t account for the sway bar on the badlands.

What a joke. Their spreadsheet specfically in the instructions calls out a Sasquatch package with 2.7 gets 2.2 inches of lift. So complete false advertising as I am at least a 1/2 inch plus away from that at the max setting. Have you tried to max out the threads on the fronts? Have you also done the HD upgrade and did you get more height?

Worst part is Im not even close to maxed out on the rear and have over an inch rake front to back. Overall not happy right now about this set up lift height wise. Not to mention as others have mentioned the high amount of nose dive every time you hit the brakes.

Caleb seems like a great guy to work with and messaged him last night about the issues. Hopefully we can figure all this out between the lift height and the rear trac bar rock jock bracket. Are you just running the stock rear trac bar location on yours?

I have a relocation bracket.

The chart needs to be taken with a grain of salt. Way too many variables that can affect lift. I imagine a modular bumper will lower lift due to weight. Are you running a mod bumper as well?

I don't think its the sway bar. Even my wildtrak was under the actual lift measurements they claimed it would be.
The sway bar disconnect is probably only 20 pounds heavier than a normal front sway bar.

If I was only at 2 inches, I would agree. Yes, I have a mod bumper. Maybe a 1/4" of variability sure. But 1/2" + off on a stock set up seems completely off even if it has a mod bumper. Knowing what I know now, I should have just done the complet zone 3 inch kit like I did on my last one. At least on that kit I got the actual 3 inches of lift and would have spent a fraction of the money I did. I even bought the Zone upper control arms as I thought I would need them. But with less than 2 inches of lift, I definitley didnt need to spend money on uppers. Have you ever tried to max out the threads on the fronts?

What did you end up doing about it? Were you maxed out too on the setting?

Yeah. I ordered the heavy duty springs for the front, but haven't had time to put them on yet.

Bummer, this sucks to hear on my end. Kindve frustrating. Are you running 37s with it currently? Did you do upper control arms? And did you do the rock jock rear trac bar relo bracket?

It's normally on 37's. Upper control arms were changed before I went to Eibach's because I had a different lift. stock rear trac bar

I have the 2.0s on my 2.7 OBX and appear to be right on the money with their height guide. I have steel skids in the front (bash plate & engine skid) but the plastic front bumper still so not much extra weight. I have the collar set less than an inch from the bottom thread.. I set it up prior to install based on their verbiage, and it put ride height exactly where I intended. Any other weight you have added up front?

Are you on 37s? They aren't the ideal candidate for 37s with the 2" shock body. Eibach tuned them for 35s.

As for the track bar relocation bracket, I actually returned my Rock Jock as soon as I received it because the Eibach fully compressed coilover height is less than the minimum requirement for the bracket to fit without potential collision with the frame. Something to be aware of. Says here in their description.

Is your rear axle centered in the stock location even with the lift?
