View Full Version : Eibach Sways Installed
Installed the rear yesterday after work, took me all of 20 minutes in my driveway. Front looked a bit more involved so I dialed it up after work on my alignment rack. Spent maybe and hour, half of which consisted of me wandering around the shop looking for tools. The difference in weight alone was staggering, not to mention the size. Front is 35mm rear is 32mm, huge difference in handing. Front end turns much smoother, I can stand on it around corners and walk the ass out a bit now too. I may end up shortening the rear links but I'd like to bag it so I can get some measurements first. I can't believe how well it handles now.

nice...stock links??
BOSS
Front came with new links, slightly shorter than my stockers. Rear uses the stock links but I swapped a set of JK wrangler rear links in place since they were a hair shorter and brand new off a truck I lifted. Sticks like glue now, I just twisted the shit out of it getting gas and it's not a sloppy bitch anymore.

Looks good Max!
I wanted Eiabch sways but heard that the GMT900 stock sways are almost as good as aftermarkets!

what do they do??
They're larger and more rigid than the stock pieces. Dramatically improved the handling, truck is much more responsive and feels much more stable. The front bar weighed twice as much as my stock sway. Polyurethane bushings are always a bonus too. Raced some fool in an old body lightning and stomped his ass, always nice to know my suv is faster than a reg cab ford.

what about the ride. this seems like somthing that would really help the silverado. IM sure towing would feel more stable too. Right??
Ride quality is better, I'm sure towing stability will be helped as well.

Handling and cornering.......cuts down on the "wallowing around" (leaning in corners)
Max, why the Eibachs vs Hellwig, Hotchkiss.....etc

I'd be curious to know why you went with Eibach as well...

From what I've seen they are cheaper on egay?
BOSS
Eibach was the most economical for both front and rear. We carry hellwig, eibach, belltech, etc and the eibachs were the largest bars for the least amount of loot...only downside is the color but you can't see them anyway. The bars mainly help cornering and sway control.

Nice!, I'm loving my sways ever since I got them in as well ( although not Eibachs ) bet you can put them to use a lot more than I can, since I'm at stock height + wheels. lol

Same basic results for less cashola is a good thing.......
From what I saw them going for on ebay $250 isn't much loot for the end result :imo: I was gonna put my grill and efans in today but now it's raining. Going up to the mountains to shoot tomorrow so I'll be able to really twist this bitch, I told the two shortys to wear sports bras or titties are gonna be flying all over the place.

For some strange reason there is no Eibach sway bar listing for a YDXL, or YXL.
Denali, Yukon....yes
They do have a listing for the Chevy Suburban.....same p/n as the above applications.
Checked 2 on line vendors and Eibachs site.....
Just an application listing screw-up.....will the Burban bars work on a YDXL?
Only 2 on evilbay now $366 and $403 for the set.....$250 would be the shit!

looks like a good upgrade!
Sway application should be the same for any wheelbase, they didn't list everything for my denali yet it's listed for the escalades, tahoes, etc. I did have to pay tax, but there are a few benefits of my current occupation which consequently allows for more modifications :emotions122:

Same shocks and bars here. Great setup. About $240 shipped for the Eibach Sways.
$240? Used? I paid cost for mine, cheapest I saw online was $350+.

Autoanything with Coupons plus Live.com cashback and free shipping no tax. It was $20 off a $100 coupon, so I bought both bars seperate and received about $26 cashback, actually more like 260ish total

shit.....$100 cupon......best I could find was a $15 cupon with free ship brought it to $311.95......buying them separately was no deal (better price when both are bought) as the best cupon deal separately was $10 off each bar.
What's that $100 cupon code......I need that mofo!

it was cheaper to make two seperate transactions and buy both seperate than get 20 off the complete package. it was a coupon special they were running a while back, but they have had 15% off and free shipping lately. I also got my springs through there running the same thing.

I think Homey was trying to say that he used a coupon that took $20 off of a $100 purchase.
Well they've been on a week and I love em, can't imagine why I didn't do this before. I can walk it way the fuck out in the rain without having to worry about crashing into ditches and shit. Good stuff.
