Anyone bought and installed the Eibach Pro Kit?

Why does it need a camber kit for a 2-3" drop? The truck would drop that much when loaded. Does it need a camber kit when loaded? Obviously not, but do they just expect us to rarely have payloads?

Good question. I don't know the answer to that other than those who seem to haul loads for a bunch of miles seem to be wearing though tires a lot faster. The camber on my ER XLT was -1.0 in the rear at stock height and with the weight of a trailer or a heavy load in the rear, its just gonna make camber more negative and create more toe.

Well I finally got it all done. The camber kit was a lot better putting on the other side, when I learned from my mistakes on the first side. The first time I disconnected the strut. The other side I just loosened the bolt for the strut and left it connected. It made it much easier to get the arm back into place this way. As far as ride quality......It's not as soft as stock. The stock struts are soft while the Eibach struts are much more firm. The stock springs are thicker than the Eibach springs, and the Eibach springs are almost fully compressed at their ride height on the vehicle. Ain't no way that the Eibach springs have more spring rate than the stock springs in my opinion. While I got the drop that I wanted, I think I'm going to cut a coil off the stock springs and see how they ride with the Eibach struts. In the meantime, here are some pics as it sits currently.

Well that is the perfect height for me but I would have to get someone for the install.
Does your scale still work correctly?

I don't have the scales on mine. I'm currently in the process of having some struts modified to use the stock springs and get around a 1.5" drop in the rear vs the stock height.

Here is a cool video I found that shows the Icon camber kit install process and makes it a lot less scary...
