Just installed rear springs doesnt look low

[2005SnowKon]

I just installed a set of Eibach Pro 3 inch lowering springs on my 2005 Yukon. Stock height i measured was 37.5 inches... After installed it seamed to have only dropped it to right around 36.5.... if they are 3 inch springs shouldnt they be around 34.5 inches when installed... Please help!!

From what I understand some springs need time to "settle" and will drop down to the desired height as they get mileage on them.

Thats what I think too. You don't think I need different shocks do you?

What shocks are you running?

They are some napa sensatracs that I put on about 2 months ago as preventive maintenance

That might be a question for Tony but I'd be inclined to drive it a bit to see how far it settles and go from there before buying more parts that you may or may not need. Are you running shock extension brackets?

No brackets

You might get some shock extension brackets them that will lower your bottom shock attachment point. When I was running a simple 2" rear drop I was able to use my stock shocks as long as I was running the brackets so that'd definitely be worth the effort and shouldn't be very expensive. I think Belltech and DJM have them.

Tony said the eibach springs don't drop the advertised amount. That could be the issue.

So who do I need to use bell tech???

Turns out that they were miss boxed. I'm getting rid of the Eibach all together and ordered the rear Belltech kit. Ordered it from my girlfriends brothers shop here in town. Kit should be here tomorrow. Another buddy of mine is giving me his lowering keys for the front so that should atleast get me started

I would get shock extenders while you're at it. Find them used for around $25

EIBACH SPRINGS DO NOT lower as advertised. this is why i do not carry them anymore. The belltech rear springs sit lower and come with extenders and ride better. I went thru this years ago with them
