My RRaptor going for Eibach Spring R&D

[LABikeWrench]

I am working with a buddy over at Eibach and they are taking my truck for a few days for Spring Kits for the RRaptor. Their plan currently will be 1 " Level, a 4 spring kit 2" Front, 1" Rear and an HD Spring Kit for the folks that will be Overlanding the Truck with a Semi-permeant load constantly on the truck.

My truck is going in tomorrow for some measurements and fitment.

They are loosely planning 2-3 month time window for development so for the folks looking for spring kits, plan for mid-end of summer I assume. I will keep everyone in the loop and once I get my truck set for some testing, 1-2 months till test springs are ready, I will post some photos and my experiences with them.

Cool. I am hoping for some lower spring rates for a more trophy truck ride. Did they provide any indication on what they target for ride characteristics?

Eibach dont need to develope the Springs. They have already the Springs.
They are install on my Raptor and they are great!

According to Eibach, the Euro office developed and built those, not HQ based in Corona, CA. The main engineers are doing their own research and testing out in the CA desert via myself to make sure what they are offering will be ideal for the NA vehicles and how they will be driven.

The team at Eibach HQ does not plan to introduce the exact spec y’all have in the EU to the NA market. They have found different needs out of the vehicles here. Us in NA need to import those springs and dealing with import taxes, cost of goods, etc, is not ideal unless you just don’t care about your dollars lol.

This is what has been communicated to me. Truck got dropped this AM with them. I’ll circle back whenever they give me more info and my impressions on what they will install on my truck (1” ride height increase front only).

I'm jealous. I'll be ordering as soon as they are available.

Looking forward to it. I don't mind a little rake but can't stand how low the front sits on this thing.

Any idea when those springs will be ready for purchase?

satellite office reinventing the wheel so to speak.

The current RR is a known quantity for years being designed and used in AUS desert and sold worldwide ex-usa for over 36 months..

I'd be all over it if they do a progressive spring with a little more compliance for the small bumps.

I called Eibach today, they said they are still looking for a RR for R&D. If anyone is in southern California here is the signup link https://eibach.com/vehicles-needed. I am not sure if OP has an update but Eibach support (Dave) told me they still needed one.
