Anyone run Eibach PRO-LIFT-KIT Springs ?

Awesome. Does your bronco also have the bilsteins w/Sasquatch?

yes its Sasquatch .

Yes sir but I’m going with a proper adjustable coilover setup for my next bronco arriving this week. The suspension is so soft I lose nearly an inch with just a full gas tank. When I load up with temp gear I get sag. I think the problem is I already have the height war GVWR bronco in production, throw on a 37 on the rear and some lights I only got 1.8” front and 1” in rear without gear

I had mine installed a couple of months ago and I love the ride. It did take a few miles for the suspension to settle down. I would say the springs are a bit stiffer but the ride is great. I gained about 2.5" front and 1.5" in the rear. I would recommend them if you don't want to break the bank.

After:

Update: I have had the springs installed sense early this year. So far I have no complaints. On my 2 door the ride is a little stiffer but nothing that changes the ride characteristics. I do love the height gain.

Installed Eibach Pro Lift so I could mount 37 MTs on Method 703s.

that's interesting. I am looking to do the same with my 4door but apparently KompressorV12 said it too soft and sags down? Are you both still running the same setup? How has it been after a year? Looking to grab these springs asap for 37's toyo mt's. I think the company does the stiffer Heavy Duty spring too..

I'm not gonna lie, almost any weight on the rear and she sags. I have a Pakmule cargo pallet for the hitch and with maybe 200lbs of dive gear, she was sagging 4-5 inches. (17-20cm in Canada) But otherwise, pretty happy with the setup after over a yr.

I just got a set of these with my ford pass points, looking forward to putting them on my Bronco. do I need to modify the stock bump stops?

I have the springs. Installed 2+ years ago. After a few tweaks I’ve been happy with them.
for the setup- search:
Badsquatch now on 38’s

I have used eibach springs on my raptor with live valve shocks, but would not recommend them for a sasquatch or badlands bronco.

The problem with spring-only lift is that the sasquatch or badlands bilstein coilovers will no longer work as intended.

• The bilsteins have 3 fixed dampening zones (normal ride range, compressed, and extended). The damping is increased at the extremes. Search "ESCV" for more info. Adding a 2.3" front spring lift will make it ride in the extended zone (pothole zone) instead of the normal ride zone. This abnormal damping may affect ride quality and shocks may fail prematurely due to excess heat.
• Ford engineered the front suspension to have roughly 60% up-travel and 40% down-travel (rear is about 50:50). If you add a 2.3" spring-only lift, you will end up with ~88% up and ~12% down. You will only have ~1" of down-travel which is worse than many street-only cars, so expect poor control on washboard road.
• Having only 1" of down-travel will eliminate much of the swaybar disco benefit.

Any lift will add some risk of premature wear due to increased CV and tie rod angle (you are changing the nominal ride height geometry). A spacer lift adds additional risk at full droop (when tire is off the ground), but it doesn't have the performance issues.

How about a perch collar lift? How does that impact the Bilstein strut function and performance?

For the guys who ran these and said the rear sagged. Would it be okay to run the regular springs up front and the HD's in the rear without issues?
