I am hoping somone can further clarify this question. I was in the process of getting the MOPAR performance lowering springs and then found out you can't get them. A MOPAR perormance dealer told me that he isn't sure if they will be available again. So that leaves me with Eibach because I am not looking to slam it. I tow a 4000lb Sea Ray on the weekends in the summer. I was told two things and I am hoping for some clarifactaion. The Eibach's take away the rake and they compromise towing vs. the MOPAR ones, is this true?

Sidenote: If anyone knows where I can get the MOPAR kit please let me know.

Not sure about those specifics. I have the Eibach pros on my rig and it did drop the front 1.5 inches and the rear almost 2 inches. initially Had issues with getting the alignment correct so I installed some new Blackops rear links and adjustable control arms now it is back into spec.
might not be a good idea to lower your rig If you plan on still towing your boat. If you do lower then you might consider putting bags on the back so you can raise the back up once you have the boat hooked up.
I do not and will not tow anything with mine and I would guess most guys on this forum might be the same. Lowering a SRT is more for looks in my opinion and I would guess your rid would not tow as good after you lower it.
maybe someone out there has done it and could give you some of their feedback but I personally would not lower and then tow such a large boat.
if you do lower and tow let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the advice. I don't think I'll be lowering it. Towing something < 2500lbs I learned isn't an issue with most of the springs. Towing a > 4000lb $180k boat isn't worth the risks involved already with both vehicles especially because we usually take a few long trips each year. Gonna do the front breaks and a catch can instead :). 4700 miles on her and already sick of the dust LOL.

I know that feeling. Spent 6 hours cleaning my wheels and calipers last week then ceramic coated them. Helps with the dust removal process. DBA and NSR make some low dust pads that have better performance than the stock brembo.
check them out if you do not know about them yet.
i have the JLT catch-can and I’m happy with it. Surprising how much shit gets recycled back into the intake from the crank case

Thank you I was going back and forth on what can to buy. I ordered the JLT, seems pretty easy to install. As far as pads go still fighting that fight but will look into DBA and NSR.

Very easy to install. Just one bolt up front. I also put a small piece of oil absorbent pad in the can as well. A product called “pig mat”. You can get it at auto zone. I use it when I change oil and drain the filter. Anyway I put a small piece in the can to absorb the oil and to catch a little more aerosolized oil particles. Makes cleaning the can a little easier. I also bought a bunch of small powerful magnets and I put several on my oil filter to help catch any metal wear that may be in the oil.
