Eibach PRO-TRUCK Coilover 2.0 Availability "Update"

[tubingchamp]

It rides great, and the front gained 2-1/4” which matches the rear. But…

I had the 33” tires installed the day before the lift. There wasn’t any rubbing at full turns. After the lift was installed on Friday I didn’t have an opportunity to drive more than to/from our business.

But then yesterday I made a more extreme turn and I heard some rubbing. Sure enough the lift pushed the wheels forward I’m the wheel well and the tires are rubbing the from wheel well liner.

Next step will be new UCAs to move the wheels back via the increased caster. SuperPro has fixed geometry versions that should work. SPC adjustable ones aren’t out yet, but they did verify by email that they’ll release them but no ETA.

I’m going to looking into trimming the wheel liner for now, but won’t have time for a couple days.

Hey there, I'm in the same boat (not with Eibach, but bigger tires) hitting the front wheel liners. I don't care much while going forward, but once I take it offroad (OR in reverse) it is a bit more concerning.

Did you have any luck with a trim? If so can you share where you trimmed or how much? I don't want to lose the functionality of the liners by completely trimming them back.

They'll leave you the springs like they did mine. It's for a few days at their plant.

Where's their plant.

Finally got around to having mine installed today, very happy with the outcome. The ride quality is even better than I anticipated, very smooth.

I had the dealership that I bought the truck do the work because I'm on the mend after some minor surgery a few weeks back and they made me a deal I couldn't say no to.

Dealership also told me they reprogramed / recalibrated the 360 degree cameras, something I hadn't given any thought to, probably because I've never owned a truck with this feature before.

Mind telling what they charged for the install?

Long story, but they didn't charge me, it was part of righting a wrong to keep a customer happy.

Did you figure something out? Is your truck lifted?

Im also putting on the Pro truck 2.0 lift kit soon in order to fit 285/70/17 Open Country AT3 on Methods 305 8.5 +25. I saw that you have these same specs.

I would like to raise the front only by 1" to 1.5" because i'll be towing a 3700 pounds travel trailer and I don't want to be Carolina squatted while trailering. I was wondering what I could do prior to put the wheels on to make sure it's sorted out before it rubs.

I thought maybe using tie wraps around the crash bars behind the liner in order to pull the liner closer to the bars. It seems I could gain around 1/4 to 1/2 inch of space juste by pressing the liner on the crash bar.

I would assume you found a solution since that post! Very interested to know it.

I did get the eibach front struts and a superpro UCA installed, an alignment and there was still minor rubbing.

I have done a bit of a trim, and used some zip ties to pull the liner close to the crash bar, but it still does rub a little at full lock in reverse.

Haven't found a perfect solution yet but the rubbing is extremely minor.

I feel like the best solution would be to see if there is any play in the crash bar, then ziptie the liner onto it... Lol

Another option would be 255/75-17. Almost as tall as the 285 just not as wide.

Loosing the crash bars and pushing them forward seemed to be a popular option on the 5g Ranger to gain some space. Maybe it is possible to do it on the 6g as well. I will try it along with the zip ties when the spring arrives and snow has melted.

Have you removed the wind guard in front of the tire or it is only rubbing on the fender?

Im thinking of that size for my next set of winter tires, but I already have my set of 285s that I kept from my 2022 Tremor. So I must make them fit!
