Installed Eibach 1" lift rear shocks.

Eibach had everything on sale for Black Friday.

So I bought their 1" rear coil springs to compliment my Rancho 1.5" level it front coil springs and Eibach shocks all around.

Installed them today, install was easy, rear coils take maybe 25-30 minutes a side. Hardest part is lining up the dam rubber upper isolator nipple with the hole.

Like most lifts, their coils are designed to lift a Rubicon. So their 1" coil lifted my sport and actual 1.5".

Which is perfect because I got 2" form the Ranchos up front. Truck has a nice 1.5" rake again.

Ride is exactly the same as OEM coils as the spring rate is similar.

I'll need longer sway bar end links but no track bar needed. Axle didn't even shift left or right.

That was the original plan, but I was all out of duct tape. Back up plan was strong epoxy glue, but didn't find it in my garage.

So I played pin the rubber nipple in the tiny hole while holding the coil and isolator 29 times each side.

I tried blue painters tape last time i had rear springs out maybe a year ago. Today i swapped the MOPAR 2” lift springs for a set of Synergy 2” . That damn isolator stayed put up there on its own after all that time. I was surprised.

A hot glue gun works well to stick the isolator up in the bucket. I noticed there was some type of glue on the back of my isolators when I changed my coils. It looked like some type of hard adhesive sealant. I tried some hot glue and it worked well.
