Prototype Eibach 2.5” leveling + lift

[Psignore00]

No rowing, transmission feels fine.

Gas mileage is the same, really it’s the fact that it’s a flying brick that kills the mileage.

The lift does not void the warranty. Abuse from now fitting larger tires and doing harder trails could be sited as a contributing factors to breakage, which a dealer could use as rationale to refuse warranty work. I’m really only concerned with the motor and tranny being covered by warranty, which I doubt 34-35” tires would really affect much. These axles are bigger than D44’s, maybe somewhere between a D44 and D60 so not really a concern for me.

I think the best way to describe the Grenadier’s axles are a D44 differential with D60 axle shafts.

Is this 35*11.5? Do you have any rubbing issue with the factory wheel?

Yes 35x11.5. No rubbing so far.

I got this kit installed today here in Australia. Sits perfectly level with a fair bit of weight in the back

I am super honored and pleased to have been approached by Eibach in the US to prototype springs for them. they initially ordered a set of 30mm and 40mm euro spec springs to install on two cars here in california. Agile Offroad received and fit the 40mm set on their non winch equipped rig. Eibach decided to do some testing on the 30mm springs to potentially get more height and level the front. They accomplished this by stretching the springs and taking measurements, then letting me drive it around for 2 weeks to allow settling, get further measurements, and driver feedback. The final product is now on the rig and it’s amazing!



2.5” total lift in the front and leveled with no rake. They accomplished this by lengthening the coils and a slightly heavier rate. This also enhanced the ride through increased compliance and way less body roll than factory configuration! They said the springs should be available within the month.



I’m currently running 275/70r17 but will probably go up to a 285/75r17. It looks great as is but I feel a “34” will fill in the wheel wells nicely and add about an extra inch of diff clearance.

Thinking about doing a lift kit for my Grenny... looking at Eibach springs and coming to find out I will most likely have to get diff shocks as well for less stress on drive shaft and better ride? Any chance one company has a soup 2 nuts lift kit all in one yet for the Grenadier? Any suggestions after your experiences now that time has passed?
