Eibach vs Bilstein

[RottenBanana]

Hey Folks,

Looking for some recommendations. My truck is street driven almost exclusively. Any off-road is going to be super tame lol.

There is a 3.5-4.5" lift in it now. Deaver spring packs in the rear and Deaver linear springs up front. Shocks are white bodies and fairly old. They are likely part of a lift kit from Wild Horses years ago (but have limited mileage).

Most people seem happy with the Bilsteins and the Duffs Eibach MS2020. The old shocks seem to work ok, but lack a bit when hitting large/consecutive bumps in the road. Since this is my first Bronco, my frame of reference is small about ride quality.
The truck handles everything on road surprisingly well after installing the Duffs Bump Steer Eliminator setup. I think the shocks would be the missing piece here.


Thanks!

Either of those would be an upgrade over what you have now. I ran a single Bilstein at each corner for years and it handled great. 7100 series short bodies with 360/80 valving up front, and 5165 series with 255/70 valving in the rear.

Either will be fine. Something to consider is that progressive coils will run smoother on the road than the linears you have now.
