Which shock? Stock height.

[Lost1wing]

I’m looking at the 5100’s.

Let me know if they are in stock for zero lift. I've been looking, but I moved on to other projects for the summer.

Yeah, find front and back in stock at same time for a zero lift is a pain. I had to split a purchase between Extreme Terrain and Northridge 4X4 with the latter going out of stock after purchase on back order. Back order did come in 3 weeks later though.

Rock Auto had the 5100's zero lift, in stock, at a good price.

At least a short time ago.

Bilstein are firm too. Are Eibach firmer? Are the both digressive ?

Havent ran either on the JT, but ran both on Toyotas in the past.

Billstein are digressive, felt stiffer over minor road imperfections, sharp but short stroke movements.

EIbachs are progressive, still a little stiff compared to Fox on my Toyotas, but were more comfortable than the Billys.

Dont matter much though, its so subjective to the driver, just look at difference in opinions out there on the stock options where everything else but the driver is the same.

Then lots of guys buy 3k plus Kings or Fox and are let down by the ride expecting something else.

Both are cheap, pick your poison, does seem like a few people on here didnt like their Eibachs, yet I've also read a few that did. Eibach does run seasonal sales though, so might be cheaper if timed right.

That's why I went with the Eibachs - progressive and I'd kept reading about Billsteins and the sharp response to short strokes like minor road issues due to being digressive.
But that's how my Eibachs reacted. Great on larger stuff, rougher on the small stuff.

I ordered them over a month ago from RA. I got an out of stock message the next day. They said August. I could try again.

Thanks for the push on this. I am drive by Summit Racing tomorrow afternoon. So I thought I would check with them. In stock! So I added them to the cart and checked out. Hopefully the pick up line is short and I can get in and out.

Now, do I put them on before or after I drop the JT off for the corrosion repair?

Thanks again for the push.

I'm one of them there old grumpy, smelling like swamp cabbage, olde farts who wipes his maul crawler down on any install.

The Pledge makes it smell lemony fresh!

Kind of a pain in the tookus putting them in.

Did I share I'm an old grumpy smelling like swamp cabbage olde farts who wipes his maul crawler down on any install.

They say mammary is the second thing to go.

I don't remember what the first thing is.

The job taking the olde ones out, and the gnu ones in took me a while.

Don't get olde.

I'm getting there, but I still get around. I took a front and rear off just to measure and compare what the book say they are. Maybe 20 minutes on and off. I did it with wheels on the ground. I am wondering if I can compress those new ones.

The strapped rears were a joy.

The fronts were the buggers.

My big pry bar "Big Mo" did his magic to get the bottom eyelet into the LCA pocket.

Too, the fender liners causes some issues too.

Reluctantly, I made a couple of careful relief cuts in the fender liner in the front for the top bolts.

Mine is an OVERLAND, a "Ruby don't take your love to town" might be easier.

I'll listen to some Acdc putting them on. When I'm done I'll go back to Valierre.

Looked at OEM. Just no luck with those. I’m lucky to get 30000 out of them.

I have Sport shocks in the rear that have are now over 100k. But I don't tow everyday.

Let me know if they are in stock for zero lift. I've been looking, but I moved on to other projects for the summer.

They were on Amazon.

I currently run the Bilstein 5100 and with a winch they ride very well. I'd be interested in Eibach that would be stiffer than the fox that can be too soft.

Three of four OEM shocks on my Sport were leaking fluid under 25K miles. It's wild the differences each of us are seeing

As for the 5100's - they're stiff, but the roads are so damn bad here I'm starting to understand why a coworker of mine drives a TRX...

 

[InvertedLogic]

Supposedly the 5100s are stiffer than the Eibachs. I've been happy with the Eibachs so far. I do in general prefer a more controlled ride and they're way way better than the Fox Rubicon shocks in that aspect. I don't find them overly harsh.
