    Getting ready to lift my 19 TH! Been doing lots of reading. I’m leaning towards the eibach coils, since I plan on adding rock rails and a winch, so I want a stiffer spring. I’ve read that some people have gotten no lift from Eibachs on their Trailhawks and some have gotten an inch or two. I also read that 2015s had different shocks which might explain why they didn’t get any lift? Can I use my stock shocks?
    Also, do I need any additional hardware like camber bolts or control arm brackets or new sway bar end links?

    Thanks!

    The Trailhawk comes from the factory with a .8 inch lift over the other Renegades.

    So, if you add a 1 inch set of Eibach's you are only going to get .2 inches of lift. Because of the way the spring come, it will level the ride over stock.
    For example; if you get a 1 inch spring lift kit, it will come 1.2 inch for the front and 1.0 for the rear, leveling the ride.

    Yes, you can use the stock shocks. But if you want any lift at all, you are going to have to go with a 2 inch lift. Which will give you about an inch of lift overall and it will level the ride so that is will look like you get a bit more.

    No, no additional hardware required for up to 2 inches of lift. Anything more will require camber bolts and sway bar end links.
