wheel/tire specs please. any poke on the front wheel?AWD lowering springs installed! I'm definitely glad I waited to go with the Eibach's because I feel like the H&R's wouldn't be low enough for my liking (I kinda want it another inch lower already). These really take care of the excessive wheel gap, especially since I'm running an overall smaller diameter wheel/tire combo than stock.
Install is really easy if you know what you're doing. It took me two and a half hours to install them, but I had access to a lift and a full shop. The video I posted above helped a lot to know what to expect before starting.
The whole truck feels much tighter (I also have a Steeda rear sway bar set to max stiffness and really grippy tires). You feel more bumps in the road but it's by no means harsh or uncomfortable. The front lower mud flap does scrape on speed bumps if I don't slow down enough, but is very minor. I haven't gotten an alignment yet but the truck drives straight with no pulling to either side. I'm going to be driving up to LA tomorrow for a longer test, but so far I'm very happy with them.

Will likely void warranty on suspension parts but rest of vehicle should be OK, I would check with dealer if concerned. I worked for a dealer a very long time and we would overlook certain things depended on customer. Always bring a box of donuts and tip service adviser lunch money.
Looks great lowered! What’s the info on the wheels and tires? Do they poke out past the fender? Also can you post more pics?AWD lowering springs installed!

I don't notice any excessive camber by eye on the fronts, but I'm not a precisely calibrated laser alignment rack
. The rears do have camber and while it's not that bad I do plan on eventually getting the cam bolts and adjustable rear arms just to straighten it out.
You're correct the AWD H&R Super Sports are a little bit lower. When I ordered my Eibach springs on the 18th of November the Super Sports weren't available and the ETA for release was Q1 2023.
Wheels are Sparco DRS 19x8 +45 offset, tires are Yokohama Advan Apex V601 in 245/45-19. There is a little poke at the front where the fender gets narrower to meet the bumper, but other than that there isn't any poke. I could run a 5 mil spacer safely to change to a +40 offset and get a little more poke.
Right on, thanks for the picture! Saw someone on here saying the adjustable rear arms wouldn’t work for lowered applications because they hit the frame. Wondering if there’s any validity to that.I don't notice any excessive camber by eye on the fronts, but I'm not a precisely calibrated laser alignment rack
I haven't heard that, and it would surprise me if Eibach's lowering springs don't work with Eibach lower control arms. But if they don't it's not a big deal, just have to rotate tires more often and deal with it. I'm not running directional tires and it's a square setup.
245/45R19 is nearly identical diameter as the stock 17".
I wanted a high performance summer tire that gives a lot of feedback and grips well. These were the closest to stock diameter I could get in with the Apex V601's with the width that I'm running. A bonus of having a smaller sidewall is reducing sidewall flexing in a corner. My goal is to have this be a sport truck that is fun to drive and feels responsive. I'm also biased towards Yokohama tires (I run the same tires on my 350z). I really want to go with a set of Advan AD08R streetable track tires, but it's still a daily and while tire longevity isn't a main priority for me it still carries some weight when a set is about 1400 dollars and they'll last 10-12 months tops.
Hopefully there is a picture available for the Eibach adjustable arms
