Eibach coil spring level kit installed on Ranger Raptor - photos

Top hats are terrible for those shocks.

Why? The shocks assembly itself is unchanged when using top hats as lift spacers.

I got the 2.3 front done too. I need the rear one to release from Eibach. I have a decked system and will have RTT soon. Did they mention when the 500# rear spring will release?

My truck was used for R&D for your front level. Not sure if they found a truck to R&D the rear heavy duty ones since then.

Thank you for your service to the Ranger Raptor Community.

Any updates? How's the ride... Be honest! Lol

Hey. Been wanting to update. I ended up putting the rear coils on too. It started out where the front was really high and I’d call “floaty”. That settled over a couple of weeks which was causing the ride to be a little more bouncy. Some of this was due to the tires needing to break in too as well as I found out that I had a broken front suspension sensor?. This made the biggest difference in correcting the auto rebound rate.

This past weekend I ran Medano Pass into the Great Sand Dunes(in Colorado). I aired down to about 18 and it was like a cloud. Since the trip last weekend I feel like my tires broke in even more and my daily drives have improved tremendously.

I will be updating the “zero” on the suspension over the next couple of days via ForScan. My OBDII cable arrived yesterday. More to come on how that helps or not too.

Here’s current pictures.

I did a 2" puck up front. Was going to do the coils but didn't want to redo the whole vehicle. I'm on the fence on putting on Eibach coils, I don't want a stiffer ride. But when I tow our camper I'd like more stability in the rear. But yeah after install and alignment I had some crazy bump steer. Then when I recalibrated all the corners it went away. Rides like stock now. But I'd still like to go coils. How does the rear ride unloaded?

It was a little bouncy too but they have broken in. I also have about 250# in my bed constantly. I have a Decked system and I’ll be adding a RTT in the near future. So far I’d recommend the coils. Speed bumps are back to stock normal of soft and no complaints right now.

I recommend the Eibach set. The Raptor has become stiffer. In fast corners on asphalt, only the tire grip limits the car's capabilities

Looking good - do you have a part number or link for europe purchase?

Got the truck back from Eibach. Rides a little stiffer. Looks good tho.

Here is another pic on flatter ground.

They replace your OEM springs with a taller one still using your Fox suspension. Eibach are built better. There is also more travel now because of the taller springs. It doesn't need a new uca. Designed to work with OEM suspension with no alterations.

FYI: I'm a noob also.

did they tell you the front leveling height?

I don't think it's 1.5. so 2" but not sure. No Rake.
