I can tell you're being a little facetious but Eibach actually makes the springs for a lot of the race truck shock brands. They've also been the making shocks for companies like Toytec for a long time. While they are relatively new to making their own branded shocks they've been working with "truck" brands for a while.
Eibach is coming out with a 200 series suspension sneak peak

I'm going to bump this thread up again to see if anyone else has any feed back on how the Eibach kit has been
Agreed
I'm getting tired waiting on bilsteins

I’ve wheeled pretty hard with them, I like them very much, my only qualms with them is there isn’t heavy springs for the front I added a Ironman front bumper and tried getting heavier springs but they didn’t have them.Agreed
Thanks for the update, I have no bumpers or any other major sources of constant weight so it seems like these would be a good fit for a basically stock LC config
I've got the same circumstances. I just want to stop the nose dive and lessen some of the body roll so I'll give these a shot! Thanks brethren!!

Definitely way better then stock and at the price point you can’t beat. Quality is definitely there. I ran OME before but they were a little rough for me but also good.

Yes correct they are mono, I ran my stock UCA with my OME ran fine just a little squirrelly, once I got my UCA rode better IMHO but didn’t have to get the UCA

Didn’t measure but it was lower then the OME I just put the OEM spacers on the front to raise a bit more.

Eibach is far from only a street brand company. While they are a major supplier to the world’s automotive manufacturing industry for springs, dampers and sway bars, They are a leading suspension developer for NASCAR, IndyCar, Formula One ,sports car racing, off-road and the consumer market. They make King, Fox And others seem like kitchen table brands.
Sure.
You're not going to get any of those things in their consumer market suspension.
Do you remember how much lift this kit gave you before the ironman front bar? Eibach advertises 1.7" front and 1.0" rear, but I haven't seen anywhere that specified which spring perch they used up front

Sorry I didn’t I had a OME lift first it was lower then that so I had put spacers on to get more lift.
How does this kit compare to a basic OME Kit with 2702 front and 2722 rear springs? Can you use OME or SPC UPAs with the Eibach Kit?
I am late comer to this thread, but not to the Eibach suspension. Actually, Michael at Eibach used my 2018 LC as the research vehicle back in 2019 to develop the suspension kit. They basically took the OEM suspension off, measured everything about the springs and shocks (dyno, etc) and developed their suspension leveling kit (new rear coils, rear shocks and front struts). They wanted to kit to use the OEM UCAs.
They said the OEM springs were 500 lbs/in front and 200 lbs/in rear. Their front spring rate is 550 lbs/in and the rear spring rate is 250 lbs/in. After the install the front got 1.75” of lift and the rear got 1” of lift. With this, it is level front to back and side to side (no KDSS Lean).
This is a great setup if you are running most stock, but probably a bit light if you are putting after market bumpers and other heavy mods/accessories that will increase vehicle weight. I wound up adding airbags to stiffen up the rear when I tow a trailer and that works great for me.
I have been very happy with it. I think they really got the shock dynamics right - a big improvement over OEM. Much more stable when driving fast on dirt (dips and wash board) roads, and very comfortable on pavement at highway speeds. Plus no more nose dive when breaking.
And yes, I got a factory tour as well (It was awesome).

Cannot speak specifically to the set designed for this platform, but used Eibach suspension on 4 of my vehicles over the past 20 some years and have always been satisfied with their build quality and performance.

Oh wow cool thanks for the info! Sounds like a really good option. I've always had really good luck with OME suspension. I've had it on a few of my Tundras. I still may go that route. I don't plan on doing bumpers. I'd like to do sliders and probably a drawer system at some point. Planning on running 275/70/18's or 285/65/18's. What size tires are you running? How long have you been running the Eibach kit? Any issues? Do you have any photos of your setup?
