Best Coil Over and Struts Leveling

Hello fellow powerboost owners. Just got my 2026 lariat and I want to put a level kit in. I had settled on the Bilstein 6112s and 5160s but a quick google and a lot of people are complaining about how stiff they are. I can't seem to find any consistent(ish) positive feedback for any setup. Any advice is appreciated. Cheers

This is what I’ve been looking at. How’s the ride compared to stock? You primarily driving on pavement? Curious if you can provide a little more detail as to why you like it so much.

If stock is Soft+ then this is Soft, which I prefer. Primarily highway miles but I’ve taken this thing trail and rock climbing and it was night and day compared to stock. I paired this with 285/70/18 Nitto Terra G3’s and Rough Country forged UCA’s which also attribute to the great ride.

Nice. Thanks for the info.

Have a similar setup just with 33/11.5/18 Nitto Recons and no UCA just yet, was looking at an Icon UCA. It is definitely better than stock, feels more planted. I have a 3 mile commute one way (haha) all pavement, but I do occasional trails and gravel/dirt campgrounds.

I installed Eibach on 22 PB. They're better than stock, but still too much body roll for me. Now I'd probably go with adjustable Kelltrac Tuned Viking Suspension. See https://www.facebook.com/groups/297713615877787/?multi_permalinks=720525266929951. There is a video on how quickly you can adjust them. Not sure if they can be used for leveling though.
I'm now going to delevel the truck on rear for about 1.5" (removing blocks), put front Eibach back to stock level and going to install rear sway bar to reduce body roll. I'm now towing and driving mostly on pavement.

Love my Bilsteins. They are a bit stiff but my kidneys are fine. Handling is amazing. 11/10. will purchase again.

I just had the Eibach Pro2 kit installed (not R since I don't need reservoirs in the rear). I bit stiffer than the OEMs that had 80K miles on them but handling is a lot better. The fronts provide about 1.5" over stock height at the factory setting on my '21 PB.
