We dive into some of the obvious and not-so-obvious differences between these leveling-kit shocks.
Despite their ability to lift the front of your truck, they all ride a tad differently on and off-road. These differences are key to understanding to know what you're getting.
We've tested these 3 different options on 2 Vehicles and the results are very consistent.
‪@bilsteinUS‬ rides the firmest and provides biggest handling improvement.]
‪@FOXFACTORY‬ is the softest over bumps and trail chatter, but sacrifices a bit of handling
‪@EibachUSA‬ seems to hit the sweet-spot right between.

I went with the eibach pro truck lift and was blown away by how well they do. Hesitant at first but they’ve proven to be reliable on/off road

Question, I’m trying to get around 4 inches of lift in my Trailboss. The Eibach Pro Stage 2 won’t offer any lift since for my Trailboss since its already lifted 2 inches from factory, is there a way I can still purchase the Eibach Stage 2’s and maybe get the Ready Lift SST 2 inch lift to get both the 4 inch total lift as well as run the Eibachs with it? TIA

Recieved my 5100s front and rear from you guys bout a month ago !! You guys are great they came litterally within 3 days an i live in maine,, box was damaged though im assuming it was shipping ,, but had them istalled at dealer and love the way the truck sits and rides! You guys are the best!,,, ps just so you know ,,,if you have a 1500 sierra or silverrado,,, z71 package which comes with a 1.5 lift already you can only go to the second setting on 5100s any higher an your control arm will hit the bump stop,, you have to remove the 1.5” spacer if you want the full range of settings,,, also youll need an alignment other than that its worth it im telling ya!

Do the fox actually provide 2 inches lift? I’m reading some people say it’s less than 2 inches

I have a 2011 Grand Cherokee 5.7l without the adjustable ride height. Can you recommend shock/struts that are super comfortable ride with equal oem to better handling. Thanks.

Would I get more stiffness as well as fully extending the shock and get no travel if I put it on the 3rd setting with the 2.0?

I have a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and after 205,000 MI the compressor failed and three of the four air shocks were slowly leaking. So I tried three different compressors and three different types air shocks and was never able to cure the inability to get the truck into Off-Road 2 mode because of a payload limit exceeded warning. I now have the option of eibach, fox and Bilstein and I have chosen extra heavy duty variable rate 70% over in the rear and extra heavy duty 35% over in the front Dayton Springs with Bilstein 5100. I anticipate this will probably be a much harder ride than the original air suspension which was luxurious at all times and I believe I will probably really miss it but the two dealerships I worked with could never figure out the payload limit exceeded problem, I guess I could try one more OEM compressor valve combo with replacing the ride height sensors and the control module and see if that would fix it but at what point do you throw in the towel? I did all of this work by myself and I swear I have wrinkles and a bad back from crawling around under this truck in the garage three compressors and three sets of air shocks. Another thing I'm wondering about is the airlift helper air Springs in place of the bump stops or Sumo Springs.

I have a 2020 ram 1500 new body style big horn with the off-road package and 62000km. Found out both my front struts were completely shot. Dealer quote for OEM replacement was outlandish. After watching your videos I replaced them with eibach stage 1 struts for cheaper than OEM and it's a night and day difference. Feels like a brand new truck. Great mix between comfort over choppy roads and handling when cornering and braking.

Are the fox 2.0's the same as the fox roush 2 inch leveling kit?

I have the 5100 on my 18' f150 4wd with the Eibach pro lift springs on the 2nd ring groove from the bottom and the ride is very harsh. I'm hoping the Fox 2.0 will be better. 😊

Hello and thx for the video. For your experience, which of the 3 will have less body roll on highway?

Thanks for the video, between the Eibach and the Bilstein; which do you recommend for highway and moderate offroading in a Colorado Z71?

I have a 2023 Bronco outer banks non-sas. Please recommend suspension. I like the hoss1.0 ride, but I'm planning to do a 2" lift up. 90% highway, 10% light off-road
