Who has eibachs installed without doing the fixes woithout issue?
Just had R1 rotors, Hawk Pads, BWoody end links and Eibachs put on. The installer did not do the fixes to the rear during the install. If it needs to be done he will do it next week.

Never ran mine without a cut down rear bumpstop tower to see if I had any issues or not.
I think Knuckles is driving his without a fix......but has the stock bumpstop tower and stock bumpstop in, instead of the Eibach stuff.

Yeah I have the stock towers and bumpstops on my rear and have gone thru some big dips and still no bottoming out. So I am planning on leaving it like that until I encounter a bottoming out issue. So far I am relly Happy with the Eibachs:D

Went to pick the Jeep up at lunch time, test drove it and returned it so that the fix could be done this afternoon. I am driving to Boston tomorrow morning and there is no way I could've done the drive with the Wife, Child and Dog in the truck without the fix.....

Cool man! I haven't had anyone in the back yet since I installed my Eibachs but will try it out one of these days.

What is the fix?
Got mine installed a month ago by local shop and the rear is bottoming out big time and very bumpy.

Completely remove the tall spacer/tower that Eibach sends and just use the cup and bumpstop that they send.
Or, cut that spacer down so that it's only like 1" tall and then use the cup and bumpstop.

Well, after having the silver spacer removed and driving to Boston and back from CT with a full car all is well.
Very well in fact. No bottoming out and I like the handling characteristics much more now. The ride seems more sure footed and firm. Body roll is much improved with the end links. The Jeep looks great too with the drop.

Glad you are Happy with them as I am as well! I am still riding with the stock tower and bumpstop too. Over the weekend I had one person in the front and one in the back and still no bottoming out.
