Few quick questions about Eibach st2

[Lèòn]

Long story short, might be getting these Eibach Coilovers soon, and got a few questions as Suspension work is like reading spanish to me.

1: Stock 33's on my 2dr badlands for now, whats the minimum requirements for a leveled stance
2: Do I need anything else, or can I just plug, play and go.
3: Down the line, what else would I need, or is it just lift and a panhard bar?
4: Could I run 37's with this maxed out, or just 35's?

Just figured I'd ask for some suspension translation here, thanks in advance and have a good day now!

- Not 100% sure on the 2dr but I believe +/- 1.5" to level.
- Plug & play, ready to go although you'll need to make final adjustments once you get a few miles
- If you plan to go more than 2" adjustable pan hard should also be installed IMO
- Depending on wheel offset and tire width you should be able to comfortably run 37s at 2" of lift.

Perfect. Shop next door does Alignments as well, and again, starting off as a mild lift as I figure why just replace a few shocks or struts when I can use this as the perfect excuse.

Appreciate it Parrie. Definitely gonna do more research for when it's time to upgrayedd from 33's to 35s/37s, at least for now we should be set

Yep, forgot to mention the alignment. I just did the 2.0s on my 4dr. According to Eibach they come out of the box set to level at 2.5" above stock however I was only able to gain 1.5" max above stock in the front due to my winch and bumper. Actually ended up having to drop the rear about .75" to level.

Would that work once I got big tires, or would I need more?

Here's my Eibachs currently set to a level 3" of lift and running 34's.

Good to go up to 37's with eibach 2.0 coilovers
Some say you do and some say you do not need to do uca's

I did Icon uca's, zero offset wheels, core 4x4 upper and lower rear control arms and adjustable track bar
M.T. Baja 37" tires

Very happy with it, on and offroad

 

[Fishwrinkle]

just got done with uca and the 2.0 coil overs and it gained me 3" on all 4 corners out of the box. i still have 1" of rake and had to tweak a few corners, but it didn't level it. which is fine as i want to load it up for the long haul and then i'll adjust it to level with a load. i'm guessing i'll end up with 1/2" rake. if you plan on going 37s i'd check your axle tube plug welds. Dana's qc is lacking big time. i'd jig the axle and weld those tubes and truss it. i'm going to when i get back to my home state. soooo many issues, ford! duty built rig, yeah right

Remember the minimum lift on 2.0's in the rear is 2.4" with non-sas. I personally think the 2.0's are better suited for 37's. With 35's you have to lower these springs all the way down unless you dig on a lot of fender gap. Having them set to the lowest setting gives a lot of pitch and roll with normal driving. Don't get me wrong it's like a Cadillac. But just too soft. With 33's the 2.0 is just too much. Just my opinion though.

not going anything big yet, just looking for minimal increases that just level me out for now

 

[Fishwrinkle]

i agree with broncoco about the 33s and gap, but i can't squeeze into the apartment garage if i did 35s. also i'll wait the 3500 miles to travel home before i invest in tires.

edit: these general grabbers in the pic measure 30.5, a MT baja boss is 34.5, so 2" of gap will be filled

I personally think the 6100's would be good for your 33's and if you up'd to 35's. Search YouTube for Sarah and tuned. She installed 6100's on her two door at the lowest setting and it looked good! You could eventually change the setting and add 35's down the road. That's what I'm going to do next after I remove these 2.0's.

These Bilstein's for the front and rear are more than enough you're saying? Again, I'm a newbie, so curious what I'd need to work with those besides those. What springs down the line would do the trick?

 

[Broncoco]

You need front and rears and springs. I've seen a lot of people are running sasquatch springs with those shocks. Just make sure the springs you get are matched with your bronco(2or4 door,engine size, bumpers, etc.) Watch that video and do more research here. There is a ton of info. And a ton of choices for suspension. It can be a little overwhelming. Find the suspension that will meet all your needs.

This is Eibachs set to 2.5”(Front) and 3.5” (Rear) with a TON of gear in the back. I also did the Zone Offroad UCAs. I’d definitely plan on doing UCAs too if you’re doing any sort of lift aside from leveling. I bought the kit from Panda Motorworks, if you DM them on the forum they may still be giving an extra 5% off (they're a Forum Sponsor) - https://www.pandamotorworks.com/col...road-stage-1-coilover-kit-fits-21-ford-bronco
