Eibach 2/3 Drop Kit - Install Write-Up (56k Warning)

[gringoloco]

Yes all that is correct .
It would be best then to install the shock extenders ?

Yes, or get shorter shocks

 

[preal]

Can you please post pictures before and after?

 

[Omar]

what was the kit number?
and how it did affect ur car? ride, handling, brake.. etc

 

[vjr021]

Don't remember the kit #... They only have the one application... It works for all Yukon/Tahoe models.

The sways were separate anyway.

Bounce is minimal.

The sways were AMAZING... Off ramps there is virtually NO body lean compared to the OEM's.

the kit was been great.

I suggest using a shock extender though, especially for a Denali. makes the ride better.

Good Luck!

thank u
i already intalled eibach sways.. amazing!
im lookin for even better handling
i will go with this kit
the extenders are expensive! u know any place for getting them cheap?

Can you point me in the right direction.... Ive called everywhere and they are telling me that the kit does not come with a shortened ride height sensor and the the self leveling shocks have to be replaced

 

[vjr021]

Did you call Eibach directly? The kit I got was complete, with the exception of shock extenders, which are not NEEDED, just suggested.

It DID come with the new sensor rods. You can see in this pic that the instructions show the rods.

Ask around the forum, I actually got mine from MAX used for about $40... I am sure someone has to have more.

 

[Omar]

thx man.. ordered already!

 

[05_nali]

Yeah I called eibach after I made the post. The kit comes with everything I dont know why none of the retailers knew about that. Its kind of a big deal!!! Ill order the kit and the sway bars when I get back to the states. thanks for the info...

2006 yukon xl

Will this be the way for a 2006 yukon xl 4dr? Also is it the same for a lower drop?

It should be the same... If you want to go lower, you will have to add spindles, not covered here. Also likely in the rear a notch, also not covered here.

I also installed a set of belltech Shock Extenders...

Very nice write-up...

...I have the same kit on my Denali, but did not install the extenders. Did you use Belltech #6651 or different? Wondering if installing a set would reduce some of the the tail bounce...

 

[vjr021]

I think they are belltech... I bought them off a guy here on the forum, pre-owned... From what I hear it will help....

My next mods are the Belltech airshocks and the panhard bar...

Fair enough...thanks!

Belltech site lists #6651 as the correct part, however most sites (Summit, Stylin' Trucks) state "this part is not compatible with your 2005 Yukon Denali"...thinking the manufacturer knows best what fits!

I have this kit and the shock extenders. For some reason the instructions with the kit didn't have anything about how to change the keys. That part is pretty straight forward, but my question is...the front rubber snubbers..the truck rides on them stock, so do you remove them entirely, or just cut them down some?? thanks..

 

[KAKALAK]

nice info

 

[Skitch2003]

how is the ride? I am considering doing either this kit or the djm 2/3 kit with the 2 inch drop keys and springs with the eibach swaybars. been told the ride quality will be bad.

 

[vjr021]

Ride with keys will always be a little worse than if you did spindles.
