i have the opportunity to get a new set of Eibach lowering springs for $230 shipped..not a bad price,these kits usually fetch around $300 atleast.im staying OEM in the wheel dept. for now,but i think these will look **** on the truck & help it handle better:shrug:

i believe that will get you 1.6/1.8 drop...may or may not be noticeable...make sure you check to ensure you dont have air suspension like i do...if so...more work to be done to drop it...FYSA...

A spring/strut expy sits different compared to a air suspension expy.

I say go for it, nice small drop. You can also add some sway bars and youll notice a great improvemet.

Mendoza not everyone wants to slam their family suv. Remember the lower you go the worse your car is gonna handle.

Hey mine road pretty decent with the blistein struts. Mine wasn't a family suv anyway. Lol. It was just for me and my girlfriend.


As far as camber wear, if you install the kit with no modifications then you can get your camber back into spec with the eibach camber kit or the rockauto kick.

As far as camber, the Eibachs shouldnt effect it that much, but I would still get an alignment. Eibach makes the drop where you can still keep the factory camber arms. It would look good with those 20's you got:):hmm:

i was going to do the belltech drop but i backed out at the last minute, i just realized i spent around 1200 on her just last month the remaining items from emendoza's nice ass truck, brakes (rotors and pads), tires, alignment, and more misc stuff. but it is the 1st of a new month!

question.. if i did the belltech 2/2 drop and sway bars will i need the camber kit?? i want to make sure i order everything before i go and have them slap on everything and do an alignment one shot one kill. thanks in advance

I dont know if the kit brings it or not. I would call Belltech and ask if its needed. I dont know if you can use the factory arms within specs with a 2" drop.
