Eibach R&D for Lightning lowering kit, leveling kit and lift kit -- submit your input

[Nick O'Teen]

4 springs $400 to your door. If you need any other information I can reach out to Eibach.

I'm definitely interested (though I couldn't see where/how to send a DM to you).

I have a few Icon rear camber kits if anyone wants one.

Eibach is estimating another two weeks on the lowering kit availability. The first batch is going to be small. Send me a PM if you want a set and I'll see what I can do.

I was contacted by Eibach for R&D on the Lightning. As of now they will be working on a lowering kit, Stage 1 leveling kit and Stage 2 lift.

I will post updates here as they come. They will have the truck in their possession for about a week.

Let me know your thoughts on what needs to be addressed so I can pass it along. I know one the main ones is the BOUNCE after some dips at speed.

Thanks to you @F150ROD - my Mach E was an Eibach test fit case for lift springs last month.

Lifted 2" and love it - even with stock shocks, the lifted springs really help in ride comfort.

Plus I got the anti roll sway bars (front and rear) which really helps in cornering and high speed driving confidence.

Eibach's latest announcement for Lightning - Stage 1 Performance Lift system:

In addition to lift, they have the lowering springs (Pro Kit).

 

[F150ROD]

Worth the Upgrade!

The shocks will also work if you decide to lower.

So is the verdict here still that you need the Icon camber kit if you go with one of these Eibach lift/level/lower products?

 

[MontanaLightning]

I know you need it for lowering.

Level and lift you should be able to align back to stock specs. Lowering not so much.

Thanks! What a bummer though. I really just want to lower the rear and still have it feel real nice.

Belltech 25001. I did a whole write up on it. Works and looks great

Yes I've read all about it. My only worry there is that the ride quality will suffer. I put spacers on my front to raise my ICE (cheaper than going the full monty) and it really affected the ride negatively. I know you said it makes it more responsive but I'm loving the Cadillac feeling of the suspension stock.

Dropping it one inch in the rear doesn't affect the ride, just takes the slop out of it.
Not only does it look much better but it's the equivalent of riding with a couple hundred pounds in the back, always smoother in a truck.

Haven’t seen this answered but is it possible to go back to stock ride after doing the icon camber mod? Of course the cutout will still be there but can the truck ‘effectively’ be returned to stock ride?

Of course. The camber kit range of operation completely includes the stock pin setting. Instead an unadjustable hole from the factory, the camber kit allows sliding up and down. The factory hole is about midway on the range of the sliding bolt. If you go back stock, just get it aligned. They bolt it tight, and it stays in place.
