Probably not your imagination remember, those shocks are constantly adjusting. It may have thought the suspension was partially unloaded and stiffen itself up in preparation for coming back down.
Ya, that would make sense.
 
Did you do top or bottom ??? Apparently there is a difference ?!?!?!?!?!
See above...DO NOT DO UPPER COLLARS.

Foutz 1.5" (they only offer bottom which is the correct placement)


 
All I know is my truck rides so much better with the Eibach 1.6 springs, maybe they are progressive rate springs or the spring rates are more ideal. Do any collars make the truck ride a shit ton better?
Can you elaborate on how the ride is different with the springs versus stock?

I thought the truck was a bit too bouncy over bumps no matter what the shock settings were at. Tough to explain, maybe the coils seemed wound tighter and the truck just felt “springier”.. with the Eibachs, the truck rides so much better, it handles small bumps and imperfections on the road better, handles better, and has little to no nosedive on braking now.

Overall the front end feels more compliant and less twitchy and bouncy if I was to summarize it.

Yea this makes sense in the difference with the Foutz collars as well.

That is exactly how I feel about the stock suspension so that’s awesome to hear. I thought springs or lifting in general would make it worse so I was holding off. Guess I’m adding this to the list.

Just stay below 2” kits lol
 
Probably my imagination , but while the ride height calibration didn’t fix my shifting issue,
It does seem to ride as good as stock did. It did seem a tiny bit stiffer before that.
What did this cost

They charged me an hour. $190. I didn’t due it for the ride, I was trying to solve the shifting issue. It didn’t work, but it does seem to ride better.

Why did they charge you for work that should be covered under warranty !!!

Wait so the ride quality improved with 1.5” spring level?

I had them install an after market leveling kit and the truck doesn’t shift correctly
Now. I wanted to do a ride height calibration for diagnostic purposes to see if that fixed it.

This is a self inflicted problem. Nothing to do with warranty in my opinion.
 
I had a 2022 Tacoma that I had level with 1.5”. I had to adjust the sensor in the grill for the adaptive cruise control. Does this truck need that as well in order for the auto pilot to work?

Good question. I didn’t try mine before getting my calibration done. I think @frogjbm has a 1.5” kit and he didn’t have any calibrations done afterward. He could chime in.
 
I wouldn't say the ride is better or worse after the 1.5" collar installed. It all depends on how you like your suspension. For me the collar stiffened the ride up front just a bit because of the added preload. Personally I like it more that way. Others may prefer the softer factory ride.
 
New RHO owner here - 2 weeks in today!

As a previous Raptor owner, I must say.. This thing rips! I had to do a lot of upgrades on the Raptor to get it to run like this thing does and I haven't even seen the full potential yet, as I'm waiting for it to break in properly. So far, I LOVE IT!

I had the Eibachs on the Raptor as I didn't feel like compressing the coil with collars was the correct way of doing it. I know a lot have on both the Raptor and TRX/RHO with no issues, but I still felt better using a longer coil. (personal opinion I suppose)

With that said, I'm planning on replacing the front coils on the new RHO with the Eibachs as well - unless someone can logically talk me out of it lol

I do have some questions, as I haven't seen anyone mention it on here yet.
  • I've seen some rumble about these truck pulling to the right a bit and I "think" I seen something about a TSB on it as well. I did do a search and noticed that the TSB was isolated to early builds (prior to April 2025) - I did notice a very slight drifting to the right (may have been the road, again, I've only had it 2 weeks / 800 miles) - should I get this taken care of prior to installing the springs (I'm assuming the answer is yes?)
  • If the answer is "yes" to having the TSB taken care of prior to installing the Eibachs, should I have the front end re-aligned after installing the Eibach coils too?
  • Last question... Who has the best price on the Eibach springs ** I'm only doing the front **
Thanks for the input!
