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.

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

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

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.
