HELP. Eibachs vs Ford Perfomance shocks

[grayshadow]

Having a difficult time deciding one which one to go with.

Vehicle
2021 Black Diamond two door

Plan
No UCA replacement
No tire bigger than 33’s

Want:
Reduce nose dive under braking
2 inch lift

Willing to give up some highway comfort.

Appreciate feedback.

TIA

The Eibachs ride noticeably better on the road than my Bilsteins did and easily adjustable. I bought them because of the ease of adjustability.……I pull an off-road trailer often with different gross weights depending on loads.
Less than 2” lift on mine.
I too am using 33”s now.
By “nose dive”, do you mean leveling or when braking?

When braking

When braking

There is maybe a little more nose dive when braking….not a lot. There will always be a bit more with any springs/coil overs that ride softer.

I have these on my BD 4 door but have UCA and lower rears. I drive mine like I stole it so I notice nose dive. Don’t think it’s avoidable in a vehicle this heavy in the front. The eibachs are the shit FYI and I would definitely recommend them

Looking at the Eibach’s myself but question the need on a non SAS Badlands to run 35’s. My point being do you need to go to this expense to run 33s?

Despite my comment above, I’m coming to the conclusion that the Eibach’s are the way to go.

No, they aren’t necessary for 33’s but can gain ground clearance and hope to achieve a better off-road performance.

Eibachs have been the top seller for our site since release and not one customer has been upset!

I would love to help you get the best pricing out there on a set when you are ready!

No one said you need to go to this expense to run 33s….not your concern is it nor did anyone ask you.

just putting a question out there because I’m somewhat in the same boat. I don’t need to do anything to run slightly bigger tires, but I am thinking about it.

I was not saying it was a bad idea. In fact my second comment said I am coming to the same conclusion that Eibach’s are the way to go.

Merry Christmas!!

It would be great if you changed the thread title to I dicate you're asking a question.

As-is, this thread appears to be giving the information which many others are curious about as well. It's been asked before and this seemed to be that answer at long last.
