did you have any before measurements?

I didn’t but the springs say 2.3inches. ?‍

I was curious if you got more than 2.3 and like you said may settle some.

I think I did, but one way to find out. What’s your measurements on your stock front and rears? We could compare that to the measurements I have. It would give us a ballpark. I have about 8k miles on my stock tires and air pressure is 39psi.

Just ran these in Baja last week. SOLID! We still have rubbing under full load with our 37" Falken tires so not yet "perfect" but definitely help.

Portals too? What springs on the rear.

Yes on Portals. I posted full rig in rig builds. Search for "ultimate". No springs on rear yet and no rubbing on the rear (but the rear bump stops got lots of work).

Eibach has promised 2 levels of upgraded springs in the fall. Both same length. One "slightly stiffer at 500lbs and one "much stiffer" for rooftop tents, etc. at 1,000lbs.

I really hope it’s not Fall for the release of those rear springs. It’s already in their front springs directions. So weird. I really need it for my RTT and Decked system in the bed. I may have to go with hyper coils on the rear if Fall is the timeframe.

Im also not going portals so I guess I’ll be sticking with my 35s I’ve got planned. I’ll check out your build.

These trucks look so good on portals. It's the space between the wheel and fender that does it, IMO. I really wish these were in the cards for me.

Front is 21.5” from center of wheel to fender flare edge

A little bouncy in the front but I think that will subside once I get some miles on it. The fox live valve does amazing with it though. I’m probably going to throw the 500# spring in the rear once it gets released.

Has the ride changed? I was looking at the level 1.5's. You have the lift springs that are supposed to be matched with the rear small lift springs. The 1.5's are the leveling ones. But if they are bouncy I make look at doing a small puck instead. I have the Eibach coilovers with the HD springs on my 2024 Bronco 2.7 bl sasquatch 2 door on 37's. It rides slightly better than the oem RR suspension does.

I just found out that I need to “zero” thevLive Valve after the lift is installed. I just ordered a very cheap windows computer so I can use FORScan to make the changes. I’ll probably know more in about a week as I’m away from the truck right now. One thing I will say is that my new 35s help cushion a little bit more.

I love Forscan. I've used it on

I love Forscan. I've used it on 4 previous vehicles. You can change lots of things. I thought the recalibrate was more for the leveling headlamps more than anything

It probably is. According to ChatGPT there is a “suspension height sensor calibration” or “fox live valve module relearn/reset”. That you have to do. I also need to put my new tire size in so my speedometer is correct.

ChatGPT :
The 2.3” lift changes your front ride height and suspension travel range.
• The Fox Live Valve system uses ride height sensors to determine how to dynamically adjust the shocks.
• Without recalibration, the system still thinks it’s working off stock geometry, which can cause:
• Incorrect damping behavior (especially in off-road or high-speed conditions)
• Inconsistent ride quality
• Potential error codes or warnings over time

Definitely wouldn't hurt to tr
