Eibach Pro Lift Kit Springs now available for Badlands Non-Sasquatch Broncos

[Fordified1]

That looks great! Do you know what the differences are, suspension wise, between non sas Black Diamond and Badlands? I have a BD on order and will go with some kind of lift and 35’s pretty quickly once I get it.

I am highly considering this solution.

My bronco is the one that Eibach used to test their springs on.

If I had been doing the install myself, I would have absolutely cycled the suspension. While the springs were removed I could have easily thrown the shock back on along with the tire to check full compression numbers and clearances.

If for any reason I have the suspension off again, I plan to do a more in depth look.

Hopefully someone else that plans on installing these can do this and give us a little more insight.

I am highly considering this solution. I have a Badlands Non-Sasquatch. Has anyone recently put the shock back on with the tire to check full compression and clearances. What engine do you have?

@IwannaGOfast Did you ever have the opportunity to test the impact of down travel and up travel due to the Eibach springs? Also, are you still running them and would you still recommend?

Does anyone have any updates on the ride with these?

I've had mine on for about the last 5k miles and I feel that they are softer. I have weighted mine down with Goat Fab rock step/sliders and an Road armor rear bumper/tire carrier. The rear sags a little but I have a winch and will order a front bumper soon. I also went to 315/70r17s.

I have these on my badlands with 2.3 manual. Because my front I lighter than automatic with 2.7 engine the height was not level. OEM modular bumper with lobo Offroad winch undermount and warn plantinum winch. Still front was about 1/2 inch high. I added ARB spacers to back to level things out. If you have 2.7 engine should be level. As far as travel, your range remains the same. Travel is determined by shock stroke. The overall ride feels a little softer. The springs are longer and feel softer. Running the Sasquatch 315 tires and icon pro wheels. For the 315 tire size everything works out good. I did my own install with a spring compressor off amazon (no issues). Shop alignment. If you are going to pay for installation, you may be better off with something like Eiback coilovers (avoid labor of disassembly). If you want a performance upgrade I would consider bilstien 6100 with your stock springs. You will gain height adjustable and a 2.5 inch shock body

Here's an excellent primer and shows how/why you should be aiming for specifics instead of focusing on "lift of X"" or "will fit 3X tires with this", because there are multiple data points well beyond "just do X" lift"

Great vid

I did the fronts from E30-35-056-01-22 Pro Lift Kit yesterday. Springs were F31-35-056-01-FA

2022 Badlands, 2.7, Fab Fours front bumper, Warn Zeon XC winch (no rope/cable installed yet)

Advertised heights for were +1.8" front, +1.0" rear.

Measurements before new springs as it sat in my garage from floor center of tire up to center of fender flare lip:
Left Front 37-3/8", Left Rear 38-1/2"
Right Front 37-5/8", Right Rear 38-13/16"

My goal was to take out the front rake, get better springs to support more front weight and get a little more lift in the process. Didn't want to use a perch collar with stock springs because the added weight the front has now from winch bumper and winch. Plus a little better spring in the back to support any camping offroading gear I will add. Planning to stick with 33" tires and will do offroad trails in Colorado I typically do in other vehicles with 30"-33" tires. So no need for larger tires.

Result in the front (rear springs not installed yet) - I got nearly 3" of lift!

New measurements:
Left Front 40-1/4" (gain of 2-7/8"), Left Rear 38-1/2"
Right Front 40-3/8" (gain of 2-3/4"), Right Rear 38-7/8"

Anyone else experience this? Up to 2" front is what I was after, advertised as 1.8". And I have a heavy bumper and winch, very surprised it lifted so far over what was advertised. I looked on Eibach's site to see if I could buy another spring to give me less lift, but all they have listed for Badlands are HD springs with higher spring rates.

Didn't take a good before picture (just visualize typical front 1" lower than rear like stock). I know when I add the rear springs it will look better front-to-back, so that is not the issue I have. Just the fact that I got 1" front lift more than advertised height. Considering trying something else. Thoughts?

They will most likely settle a bit after breaking in. Have you driven it around to flex the suspension and then remeasured yet? It will sit high when you first take it off the jackstands so it needs to cycle.

I’m very hesitant on driving it much pre-alignment because the camber angle is so bad on the tires. The dealer was supposed to install the rear coils when they do the rear shock recall this week but now I don’t know if I want them to install these Eibach rear coils because it would be more parts for me to take off if I decide this is just not right for what I’m after. Crazy. I have some ramps here I’m fiexing it out on over and over and letting it sit flexed to try and work the springs.

 

[JL8jeff]

You'll be fine driving around a little before alignment but you really need to hit some bumps to and dips to cycle it. That lift does seem to be more than expected, I went with the ProComp adjustable coilovers which made it easier to dial in. I'm around 41-1/4" to the Sas flare and that's on 37's. But I remember it sitting really high when I first took it off the jackstands so that's why I would suggest a short ride. I think mine were 3" over Sas when I first measured and now the fronts sit 2" over Sas.
