Came across these for $180 while searching for trailing arms: Ebay link

Never heard of them, but they are the same .120" thickness as the Hotchkis ones. I'm very tempted

good price !

My ride is tolorable to me. I also have the higher coil rated springs too. DJM "black " 5" rear drop.

When it is fully loaded down, the ride smooths out tremendously.

What are your thoughts about the Eibach springs? I would probably do the 3" drop springs b/c I've heard the 2" ones actually net about 1" of drop.

I just want to level it out and improve the handling, mainly improve the handling. It's my DD and Houston has some potholes, so nothing too stiff.

Eibach are great springs! ride is excellent, wish they made them with more drop, I have two co workers with tahoes, I installed eibach's in both of their's. they both are very happy with them.

Good to know, that will be my next purchase! Then those trailing arms. Hopefully that will knock out a good amount of the remaining body roll.

Did they do the 2" or 3" drop springs? What would you go with to just level it out?

2" too level w/o third row seating, 3" with 3rd row, w/o will need the front key's cranked.

thanks

4.8T: Sorry for completely hijacking your thread, my bad

EDIT: SuperSub: Wait, do you mean 3" springs w/o 3rd row, and 2" with? Because the extra weight of the seat would make the rear end a bit lower.

Two more questions... Will I need shock extenders for the 3" Eibach springs (Bilstein HD's on there)? Should I cut the stock bump stops or get new ones, if so, what size?

Digging this thread up for updates...

Just installed an Edelbrock panhard bar the other weekend. Much improved handling, especially around sharp corners, rear end feels much more planted. Also I can get on the gas around sweeping and even tight corners without the whole truck swaying around, it stays planted now. Ride isn't any harsher than before.

Install was decently easy, except the passenger side end wouldn't fit in the bracket b/c it was too wide. Bending the bracket out with a crescent then with some encouragement from a 3 ton jack squeezed it in there. But had I not had a 3 ton jack, no way it was fitting in there. Took me two hours with an impact gun, without the bracket issue, one hour.

Great mod for the money ($80 shipped, auto anything). Even if you aren't trying to make your fullsize a performance truck, the truck feels much more in control esp on the highway, which is probably something everyone would like.
