ACTUAL amount of lift from Eibach Stage one on highest setting (and other settings)?

[HI Zeus]

I've seen everything from 2" to 3" for a max height gain (here and elsewhere on the WWW) and Eibach won't commit on a definitive answer.

Mostly I'd like to know the actual height gain from the highest setting (especially on ERs).

If anybody can give me real world measurements on the other settings that would also be great too. (Is the "stock height" setting actually that for the Lightning?)

Since these are the same shocks used for other F-150s it wouldn't surprise me if there is difference between ICE and Lightnings, so lets keep it to info from Lightnings only, also please indicate if its an ER or SR (maybe the extra weight makes a measurable difference).

Thanks in advance for all intel provided!!

Hey Zeus,

Not sure you're going to get that much data without your own trial and error. I just had this kit (ER) installed and only asked for the front @ 2.9" and the rear at 0.3" (both which are highlighted on the installation manual).

AFAIK, 2.9" is the listed max for the front (but I do see the two notches showing for heavier loads/applications)...if you're hoping to get higher than that. If that's the goal, you may be able to add pucks on top of the Stage 1 but not sure if the shocks would accommodate.

I stated in my thread that I didn't perform pre-post height measuring and I wish I had but not losing sleep over it.

If you're in ABQ, I'd be glad to meet you for a visual, so you can compare. @Kohlblooded is in/near SF, and may be willing to meet as well but I certainly do not speak for him.

If its in Hawaii (? cool), can't help there

I wish I would have measured before and after the lift but I didn’t. If you’re in the houston area hit me up. The only thing I’ve disliked since lifting the truck is now I have bad torque steering when mashing on the acceleration pedal

Oh, sorry bud, I thought you were in NM.

Just a state away?

This was from the R&D team:

we got 2.6” up front and sitting at the OE height in the back

This is for an ER Lariat. The shocks are valved differently from the regular F-150

They could have made changed after mine, there is another member here who went in for the second fitting.
