Base Bronco with Eibach stage 2 coilovers

[JonB2]

Hello. Bronco base 2 door 2.3L and considering upgrade of stock suspension to the Eibach stage 2 coilover system. My base bronco is fairly light. Anyone with a similar type base bronco install this kit? I don't want to go too high, and it appears minimum rear lift is about 2.4". I wanted to find out actual measurements from those who have installed this kit. Thanks!

Pro-Truck 2.0 coilovers set at something approaching minimum rear lift, on a 2.3L Badlands (33" tires):

Minimum lift is still a fair bit. Tire height will affect overall height - with smaller tires you will be lower but may get some "skipped leg day" effect. Depending on your personal mobility (and height) it may leave you wanting steps.

My preload is dialed up a bit to accomodate the winch, minimum height on fronts is much lower so any amount of rake you choose is possible.

I really like the ride of the Eibachs but some forum users have been having quality issues lately.

Thanks for the reply! So my base is currently running 34" tires so about 4" larger diameter than stock. Gained about 2" ground clearance. Don't really want to go more than 1-2" of additional lift on top of the tires. May need to go to the Stage 1 kit where I can get a lower lift but of course not as easily adjustable and I have to put it together.

The lift on the Protrucks for a Non-SAS is pretty significant. On the out of the box setting I got about 3" of lift over stock. Cranked them down a bit and I'm about 2.5" over factory. The Bronco looked ridiculous lifted 3" on my factory 33" general grabbers so wound up going to a 35" MT Baja boss. Very happy with the setup. Ride is great but I have seen some others complain of shock failures. Fingers crossed but so far so good.
