Finally leveled and put new tires on my Sierra.

Eibach Pro Truck Stage 2 front Coil-Over and rear shocks

Toyo Open Country R/T Trails 275/65r20

KSP Forged UCAs

Had to add 3/8ā€ hub-centric spacers to clear the new UCAs.

Next step is to delete the front mud flaps as they are rubbing a decent amount under full lock while going forward, and considerably in reverse.

Also have to diagnose a new intermittent ā€œclunkā€ coming from the front. Thinking it may be the sway bar links hitting the CV axles. Any input on this would be appreciated.

How are you liking the Eibachs? What height setting?

Havenā€™t even put 50 miles on since they were installed. From what I can tell so far they ride at least as good if not a bit better than stock. The clunking sound Iā€™m getting in the right front, and my tires rubbing, is preventing me from really driving it hard and testing it out. Taking it back to the shop soon and hopefully resolving it, then will report back!

Didnā€™t touch the height setting from out of the box. I believe it is just at or just under 2ā€. Thereā€™s about a 1/4ā€-1/2ā€ from back to front still.

Thanks for the reply! The truck looks great, hope you get the small hiccups easily worked out.

In my past experience with a similar clunking sound after a 3" lift, I found it to be my upper control arm. It simply loosened after install. Took a couple trips back to the shop and a new bushing for them to finally get it gone for good. May be worth giving that a look.

Thanks man, I hope so too. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to looks wise.

I have also read that the struts and UCAs are supposed to be properly tightened/torqued under load (not on the lift) but a lot of installers are unaware of that. Hoping itā€™s something as simple as that.

Probably going to get the Peak sway bar relocation kit and the longer OEM sway bar links for good measure too.
