Fox 2.0 vs Eibach Pro Truck - What Driver Are you?

- Although we love the @FOXFACTORY 2.0s and few things are as comfy, the @EibachUSA Pro-Truck shocks are not far off on comfort, handle better, last twice as long without the need to rebuild, and have a far superior limited lifetime warranty that we can help you out with rather than Fox's one year warranty that only they can uphold.

I have ran Eibach 2.0 on my wife’s Gx460, my jeep wrangler Jk and now on my 2018 1794 Tundra I’ll run run the 2.0R. They have a great ride and performance I love our Eibach 2.0
glad to hear it, did you buy from us? thanks for the feedback
Upgraded from a set of Bilstein 6112/5100 to FOX 2.5 DSC (all corners) about a year and a half ago. Out of the box the nobs were so bad and difficult to turn, that I had to sent them to FOX for warranty repair. Which they did, for free, and got back to me within a week. They managed to "fix" 3 out 4. One remained super stiff for the better part of a year. And even today I still need a small 3D Printed tool to turn it. But, the shocks have run pretty darn great and smooth on my 22' 4Runner. I'm about 25,000-ish miles on them now, and passenger front shock is starting to leak. I am due for a rebuilt, despite not running the truck supper hard. I am considering going with something else next. Great shocks, but for what I do and the cost, I don't think they've been worth the head ache
Yep 3d tool ftw
This is great feedback, thank you.
Im a couple of months in on having the Eibach pro 2 set up on my 21 Trd sport 4x4 and i couldnt be happier! The ride is firm and makes the truck feel more planted with way less body roll in the corners and less nose dive on braking. Tackles large bumps nicely with no bounce ! Im a weekend warrior and for the price the Eibach pro 2 was perfect!
love to hear it, thank you for the feedback
I’ve had the Eibach Pro Truck lift on my 3rd gen Tacoma for about three years now. Light off-roading nothing too crazy and they still ride great with no issues.
awesome, thanks for the feedback
Nope. I currently have DUAL LEAKING EIBACH pro truck 2.0 front shocks. They both started hemorrhaging oil at about 25000 KMS. I’ve had zero response from eibach’s “million mile warranty”. While the shocks improved my 2022 4Runner, I’m extremely disappointed and discouraged by the purchase. I ran a full set of mopar approved FOX 2.0 on our 2019 Ram 1500 (from new) and had zero issues when we sold the truck at 70000 kms.
Had a pair leak on my wifes 4runner. Sent a few pictures to my retailer and EIBACH sent me 2 new coil overs.
Sorry to hear!
I recently bought the Eibach Pro Truck Stage 2 front coil overs as well as the matching reservoir rears for my Toyota Tundra. Couldn’t be happier. Ride is very smooth but also pleasantly firm. The truck feels very planted to the ground and got rid of the annoying body roll. Haven’t tried the fox 2.0s, I’m sure they are great but I didn’t love that I would possibly have to have them serviced as soon as 30k-50k miles. Just my 2 cents.
thanks for the feedback!
I've run the Eibach pro truck adjustable coil overs on my 2020 Tacoma for close to 2 years now. As far as ride and performance go, they are the perfect balance for me. My truck is mostly for commuting but I do find my self off road and on unpaved bumpy roads on the weekends. They are a great, budget friendly option and I highly recommend them. The only bad thing I would say is, enjoy the nice shiny finish while you can. After one winter, they will not look so good anymore. Having said that, I would still buy again. If Eibach made a premium shock with aluminum body, I would pay more for it in a heart beat! Food for thought EIBACH! 🤔
great to hear, thanks for the feedback!
Just the video i need to make my decision thanks.
sounds good thanks for watching, holler with what you're thinking - support@shocksurplus.com
I put the Eibach Pro Trucks on my 2022 Ford Ranger FX4 a couple of months ago, based on your recommendations. They are just what I wanted and far superior to the Ford/Fox shocks that came on it. The dirt road ride is amazing now and I don't weave around potholes any more. Road handling is just as good but I usually don't push too hard there. Like a new truck! Had the base Ranger before that and it road like a bulldozer, FX4 was far better and Eibach takes it that same jump again.
Hello,
I currently have a 3" BDS leveling kit on my Tundra, and woo soon be purchasing from you the Eibach pro-truck stage 2r along with other suspension upgrade components, ie UCA's, and AAL's. Can I use my 3" leveling kit on conjunction with the new shocks? Wow that affect the ride quality for overlanding/daily? Also, if my front shocks are at 2.75" and the rear aal raises the rear 1.5", how much more of a lift in the rear would I need if the front is 5.75"? Also may get a motofab 2" leveling kit on the front to use wig the Eibach setup.. Opinions? Thoughts?
So, I've been pretty set on buying from you the Bilstein 6112/5160 setup for my 2020 Tundra. I'll be using my Tundra more as a daily, occasional overlanding, and occasional hauling when needed. However, now I'm debating about these Eibach. Your opinion? My tundra will only be a daily until I buy an actual daily vehicle (2025 Camry or 2025 4Runner). I plan by 2026 to buy the new Tacoma as my actual overland rig, which, I'll come you you guys again for that build. So, Bilstein or Eibach-tis the million dollar question
they're so close in ride quality, but from the vehicles we've tested between both of them (ranger, bronco, silverado), the Eibach is a tad more forgiving, where the Bilstein is a tad more responsive / +handling. All else is about equal, and comes down to driver preference
Eibach needs to step up and include upper bushings for the rear Toyota shocks (Tundra) Consumer shouldnt have to buy some to use the shock, and most stock bushings arent in great condition, unless truck is brand new.
With the added benefit of Eibach in long term usage, would you pick it over a Dobinson IMS shock package ?
Great question
We haven't been able to spend enough time on the IMS to give am opinion, soon though with our Bronco!
A limited lifetime warranty from a company who has been in business since 1951
I love the idea of these. Plus, I need to maintain the 3 inch lift on my 21 bronco 4dr squatch.
I know a 2.5 probably would be better.....
What is the feedback on 37 inch tires?
Tire is a 37x12.5 r17 Kenda RT
Cant wait to buy the eibach pro truck 2.0R for my 2020 tundra. If i buy a set of icon rxt leaf packs from you guys can you build them to what weight rating i want the leafs set at. I will be hauling alot of camping gear and a rsi smartcap on top so i will easily have 700 lbs in the bed.
Yep we can make that happen
First of all thanks for the awesome video! Question: I’m running bilstein 5100 with stock springs on my 4Runner right now. It’s too stiff for me… Thinking about switching to eibach pro truck . There are different variations of pro truck series, will they offer same level of comfort? If I go with pro truck coilovers, will the spring be stiffer than the stock spring therefore make the ride stiffer again? When you mention the comfort of eibach sits in between fox and bilstein, which specific model of pro truck series are you referring to? Thanks!
Pro Truck coilovers are likely a tad longer than the adjustable height shocks, varies by application, but that's what we've found on our tests. This allows a bit more comfort because the shock doesn't top/bottom out as easy. Valving wise, they're aimed to be the same through their available damping range. In other words, aiming for the same feel.
The springs that come with the Eibach coilovers are more of a universal spring, and that rate shouldn't be compared directly to the factory spring rate, because the length is also different compared to stock, along with wire size, etc - cant just leave it up to lbs/in.
We're confident moving to Eibach from Bilstein will be more comfortable.
I’ve ran Eibach prokit lowering springs on my M3 for years, and loved it. Does Eibach have a setup for JL Wranglers? I’m about to get Fox 2.0 on my Wrangler next week, please let me know if I’m making a mistake!!! 😂
2017 Silverado 1500, currently running 2”rough country bottom strut spacers to fit 33’s on stock suspension and drives like crap, in order to keep 2” level can I go with Bilstein will I have to use spacer still? Or would eibach be a better choice
Bilstein and Eibach will work to replace that strut mount spacer, Bilstein will be sportier, Eibach will be a tad more forgiving, both are great options.
Have a set of Eibach struts/shocks for all 4 corners on my 2010 chevy Tahoe Z71 that is currently all OEM, but with only 73k miles.
I am pairing it with the stiffer than OEM Eibach rear sway bar to tighten up the body roll even more!
If needed I'll upgrade the front sway bar as well, but I doubt I'll need too.
I’m driving a 2010 Tacoma prerunner with about 110,00 on it. Looking to upgrade the shocks to see if I can achieve a better ride for a daily driver that won’t see any off-roading. I’ve watched several videos and I’m still undecided. The stock leaf springs on this truck may need to be replaced as well but I wanna start with shocks first. Any feedback is appreciated.
So I just replaced a rear set of eibach Pro Truck 2.0... not sure what caused them to burst the seals. I live in Alaska and it gets pretty cold here. Know anything about the cold rating on them? Lucky that eibach did warranty them but I'm not sure if they are winter rated.
Wheres the billsteen 8112s content? 1hour long video plus cinematic b roll????
Yeah we’re is it at
😂 is this what you guys want?
@@ShockSurplus hell yeah!
Great video, thank you. Do you have an eibach part number for the ram power wagon. ??
Unfortunately no availability for the power wagon, as Eibach only has shocks for the non-pw at 2" front / 0-1" rear, a tad too short for a factory height PW.
Very interesting as always.
I'm running Bilstein 5100 on a light CJ-7 with relatively soft custom ordered leaf springs, 35s and swaybar in the rear. I drive it very actively on-road and slow offroad. I love the sporty feel of when cornering and breaking hard, but washboards are still incredibly bad. Would Eibachs fix that and still maintain a sporty feel?
cant say for certain on a 'fix' - but in the case of washboard and how our vehicles have felt over similar - Eibach is a tad more forgiving than the 5100s. And the Fox 2.0 is even softer than the Eibach in most cases (the 4 vehicles we've tested back to back with at least).
Its really hard to feel significantly better over washboard, lots is in tire pressure. And if you go too soft, depending on vehicle and wheel/tires, the excess chatter (from lack of damping) is as bad as the washboard itself.
Eibach have shocks for 22’ Power Wagon? I only see it for the 6.7L motor.
No they dont have parts for the PW
I rather throw away shocks! They better
What if you had a tool set to rebuild your own fox 2.0?
Fox 2.0s are absolute crap. I’ve had my Ram 2500 less than two years and I’ve blown 3 of the 4 shocks on it in under 40,000 miles.
What kind of use do the shocks get? They are a street shock if used hard you need to upgrade to a king or something 2.5 or 3.0.
