I just picked my truck up from the local suspension shop. I had them install the Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs with the Eibach Sport Shocks and a Hellwig Front Sway Bar. I also used the Icon Camber kit to get the alignment right. I had to come straight back to work, which is on the same road, so I wasn’t able to get a feel for the difference in ride. I definitely like the look an how it sets. For those that don’t know the specs on the Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs, the front dropped 0.5” and the rear 2.9”.

*UPDATE*
Driving home was a blast! Body roll is almost non-existent. Also, the torque steer under hard acceleration is completely gone. You feel a little more of the bumps in the road but the ride improvement is well worth it.

Nice! Can you get a few more angles? Are the lines level or does the rear squat?

The parts cost around $1850 and I paid $1200 for installation and an alignment. I had them install the sway bar since they were under it anyway. The most time consuming part of the install is the camber kit. It takes around 5-6 hours alone

Have you been able to use Blue Cruise? I was under the impression it would not work if you do this. I put in the Eibach Pro shocks but kept to the original ride height and haven't put in the springs. It made driving on and off-road much less bumpy and reduced sway during turns as well. I'm very happy with the ride now.

I used it this morning without any issues. The front only dropped 0.5” so I don’t know why it would be an issue.

No, I have had absolutely no issues with anything since lowering it. I haven’t checked the bed scales but I’m sure they are off. I haven’t checked never used them so I don’t really care.

I actually asked for the people your going to be facing at night. leveling the truck moves the aimpoint of the headlights up.

100% agree - they'll need to be adjusted.

OP, don't be that guy that drives around blinding people like a Tesla owner.

Looks great!

I'd also love to see some more pictures with different angles!
