Pics of 1.7" Eibach kit

jljones527 · Jul 21, 2024

I'm trying to decide between the 2.5" and 1.7" Eibach springs. Will be adding the 1.2" on the rear.

I'm used to an even level on my trucks, but don't mind some rake, either. Be great to see some pics of your 1.7" rigs - it'd be great to also know what wheel & tire size combos you're running.

Gracias!

This isn't exactly what you wanted but I thought I would throw this out anyway. This is without lift versus the 2.5" lift. Sorry the w/o lift is a bit underexposed. I'm about to put a 50+/- lb. bull bar on the front so it may come down a little in the front. But if I was doing it again, I might have gone with the 1.7" Between the lift and the taller tire my 60 yr old knees creak a bit getting in/out. These are 275/70-18 BFG K03s

Thank you good sir, this is helpful! Looks like you added the 1.2" on the rear?

I do wonder how much the factory winch + bull bar would weigh down the 2.5" front.

Power steps would help those old knees, mine creak too.

Looks good. I notice your modification to the sliders. Any information on how this was accomplished? I don't have my QM yet, but want to add a step to the rock sliders I have ordered.

Anyone with pics of the 1.7" up front?

Search for any RoW lifted Grenadier and you'll find what you're looking for

I've just swapped out the front springs from US to ROW spec.

jljones527 · Jul 22, 2024

Thanks a ton CBN. You run the bull bar and factory winch - do you feel that lowers the front end much if any?

I don't think it affects it much to be honest. It's the version that is for the bullbar and winch anyway

jljones527 · Jul 23, 2024

Appreciate the feedback. When y'all say ROW spec - what inch measurement is that, front & back?

It is advertised as 30mm F/R

I had a metal fabrication shop near me weld a step onto the factory slider.

Hey, could you measure your tire to front plastic fender arch? Curious what that gap is after the lift and settled is.

GN4HIR · Jul 30, 2024

Doc, I was curious to where you are in the world, so I Googled 'Eromanga' and got the following answer: "There are multiple matches for Eromanga, including Japanese pornographic comic books, a town in Queensland, Australia, and a genus of marine reptiles:" I'm going with Queensland as the correct answer but... if that isn't correct, I'm not judging.

Begs the question of when a village becomes a town. <100 people as of 3 years ago.
Mind you we don't use the the village in Australia. Not sure what we use actually.
