I attempted to install the RCI lower shock skids at the same time as my Pro Truck coilovers and I can say that they did NOT fit. the Skid contacted the bottom of the shock and wouldn't position properly to match the alignment that RCI shows in their instructions.
Ah man, are you sure? I asked RCI if they would fit with the Eibach's and they confirmed that they would so I ordered a set. Did you reach out to them at all?

Yes, I'm sure. I didn't reach out because they are metal and don't bend and the installation instructions are very clear. When I attempted to install them according to the instructions the brace and the bottom of the shock touched before the shields were able to sit in their installed position.

I just put them on this morning. They fit fine.

Glad to hear it. There must be some variables in the truck or the brace. It's a shame we had inconsistent experiences.

I’d advise against the Eibach’s. I was a supporter but less than 20k miles and under 2 years mine are junk. All are seeping oil one blew its oil all over the frame front control arms. Eibachs response no warranty you used it off road.

I was considering these. Don't they claim they are for off-roading? How "off-road" did you go?

They are for off-roading but are not warrantied for racing or racing like activity. So, I guess if you blast across the dessert at high speeds they are not covered under warranty. They will also not honor the warranty if you over load beyond Fords rated load capacity. Key takeaway on this is don't abuse them.
