Long term reviews on Eibach Stage 1 and Stage 2 lift kits and my recommendations

[mvilla]

I just installed these with the 550 springs in the front. I have a 4 door badlands Sasquatch with a winch. Even with them maxed out according to the installation instructions (minus 19 mm on the front according to Eibach with the 550 springs) and I have only 2 inches of lift in the front and close to 0 inches in the rear.

Has anyone gone beyond these measurements? It seems like there are still a ton of threads above the collar. Why are they there if the max they recommend is not even close to the end of the threads? I was hoping to get closer to 3.5-4 inches of lift.

I put the 550 springs up front on the Eibach Coilovers and it turned out great. Ride is awesome. Badlands 4dr 2.7. Front and back are within 1/4” and got around 2.5-3” of lift. 37” BFG All Terrains, Icon UCA, Method 315’s w/0 Offset.

Did you get a measurement of how much lift you got before the 550 springs?

Just installed mine and set at the max, I’m at 1.3” of lift over SAS in front. I have a 2.7 4D Badlands SAS with hardtop. Wondering if this spring will help raise up the front.

I am assuming floor to fender measurements. Was this with 37’s or SAS wheels and tires? And we’re the springs settled for these measurements?

yes , floor to fender on 37’s. I just checked and maybe settled 1/8” under that

I have the upgraded springs coming in this week under warranty.

Did you end up maxing your front coilovers to get the lift?

Not 100% sure since I had a shop install. I think close to max to get it level

Do you know what your measurement is from base to bottom of spring collar on the front coilovers?

I can measure but not 100% sure what you’re asking for.

Refering to this measurement.
Eibach says with the 550 spring, 19mm of adjustability is lost. So max setting would be 65mm collar height where the 450 spring is 84mm.

Mine looks like 3 3/16” so 81mm

Hmm… that’s what mine originally came in set at. They told me 65mm would be max collar height for the 550 spring. Now I am curious to what everyone else’s “max setting” is, maxed out according to threads on shock body or according to Eibachs max measurement for the collar. Maybe this is why I am not getting as much lift as everyone else.

I installed the 550 springs and set to max according to Eibach (65mm) and I am ~1.4” lift over SAS.

2.0 Pro truck coilovers
Stage 2
Yes, had bilstein sasquatch
Then bilstein 6100 with sasquatch springs
Now, eibach coilovers

What made you swap out the 6100s for Eibach? I thought they were pretty similar solutions and I was about to buy 6100s or 6112 for my non-SAS BL.

Swapped for adjustability.
My Bronco wasn't sitting the way I wanted.
The ride with the 6100 was a little firmer
Like both but prefer the stance with the Eibachs
