Looking for Highest Quality, Moderate Lowering Kit for Hybrid FWD.....

[Johnkn]

I've tried to read through all the threads but still have questions..

I'm considering a ...moderate.. daily driver, old man, lowering kit on my 2026 Hybrid FWD.

I do not want a slammed truck, want very minimal ride degradation, and would prefer to retain a little rake.

In a perfect world I could find something like -1.5" front and -2.5" rear, I've looked at multiple vendors, but I've not seen them. Is anyone aware of a moderate, highest quality kit?


For those with the Eibach " 2-22" -2.1"/-3 kit on a FWD Hybrid, honest feedback is appreciated. Would it work for me? What was the final measured drop after break-in and settling? Any noises, binding or banging?

I've got the Eibach Pro Sport Kit for my 2023 FWD hybrid. It is noticeably stiffer but not to a painful degree. The only time it's an issue is on overpass / bridge joints if one edge is significantly higher that the other or if there's road construction during the transition on /off of the graded surface where the asphalt was stripped. If you don't encounter those situations often, you should be alright.

I have not noticed any noises, binding or banging since Eibach updated the design. Earlier production for the 2022-2024 kit may have experienced this issue. No additional sag or settling on the drop, it will level the bed and get rid of the rake. if you were AWD I'd say check about a Lobo spring retrofit but I don't think they'd work with the FWD versions.

Good luck in your search, If I could find a leveling kit that lowered the rear while leaving the front stock height I would not have gone for the Eibachs.

^^ Thank you.

I don't see a "Pro Sport" mentioned on Eibach's site, any idea of the part number? What was the advertised drop?

thanks

The LOBO springs are available for $140. The rear is right at a 1" drop. Front is right at 3/8" drop. Shocks and struts are available as well.

Sorry, it is the Pro-Kit not the Pro-Sport. p/n E10-35-057-01-22.

Since the E10-35-057-02-22 for the 25-26 isn't as an aggressive of a drop I'm guessing it would be even better on ride comfort and not quite as stiff.

Unfortunately, E10-35-057-02-22 is for AWD only, as noted on the install instruction.

Looks like I installed the pro kit about a year ago and I’m happy with it. Still running the stock 225/65/17 tires. Distance from level ground to top of wheel well Front 30 inches. Rear 30.5 inches.
I have the aftermarket fender flares so they actually make the wheel well about a quarter inch lower than a truck without them . I’ll upgrade the tires and wheels at some point.

I have a 2024 FWD Hybrid Lariat. I've had Eibach's C2 (-2.5" Front | -3.5" Rear) for 1 year and 17k miles. If the roads are smooth, they are just a bit more firm over stock. If the roads are lumpy, it's a pretty harsh ride, you will be hitting the bump stops. I feel (-2.5/-3.5) is at the limits of the stock shocks, you don't have much down travel to be smooth.

My commute is 100 miles round trip, freeway speeds exceeding 80mph. In one year, I was over the harsh ride of the Eibach C2. So, on the previous Black Friday sale I purchased Silvers Coilovers with F-8K/R-6K swift springs. Theses ride as smooth as stock and are totally adjustable, ride height and firmness. I should have purchased these in the first place.
Eibach's are good, but not for my commute.

Ahh, gotcha, there wasn't an AWD offering on their drop-down menu. thanks....
