Lowering A Strut Vehicle With Eibach Springs - Strutting Low

5.Now the shock part of the strut can be slid out of the assembly.

6.This is why the tech marked each part of the strut. The lower collar the spring rides on is not welded to the shock body, so without the marks, we would have no way to get it all back together properly and might end up with a truck that sits lopsided.

7a.Now the new Eibach spring and stock shock are mated together, making sure the marks are all lined up. Then it's chucked back into the compressor.

8.Cranking down on the spring brings the stud up enough to install the retaining nut.

9.With that, the unit is bolted back in the truck.

10a.Now the same process is done to the rear.

11.Here is the new Falken rolling stock for the truck. The Spine rims feature a fat-lip design and come in a chrome finish with either chrome or gold rivets. These are 20x9.5-inch rims, but are also available in 22- and 23-inch versions.

12.Falken's Ziex S/T Z04 features a rim-protection ridge to protect our wheels from curb damage. The tires are classified for all-season performance, thanks to the deep tread design and the 50,000-mile limited tread-wear warranty.

13.The last step in this whole process is to mount these beauties to the truck and torque the lug nuts to spec.
