sad, but at least on the looks & visual side of the equation 22's will be a decent alternative to fill
those cavernous wheel wells
but eibachs totally transformed the look & ride on my 03 honda accord v6...was really looking forward to pushing my DD harder around corners and bends...

Just an update guys this was the reply I got from Eibach to my question on when we could expect the Durango Springs to finally hit the market....
Unfortunately this project has been cancelled. We have found that when lowering these vehicles on the OEM shocks, there is not a proper amount of travel in the rear suspension. This was leading to premature wear and poor ride quality. After many attempts this project was cancelled by our R&D Dept.
If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us directly at any time.

Thank you.

Do you mean the SRT jeep springs or Eibach springs for the JGC? Scott, how is the ride height of your new SRT JGC compared to your Durango? Do you think it is lower or comparable to the height of a stock Durango RT? Does your SRT have load leveling springs? Thanks, and sorry for all the questions...just curious.

Weights for Jeep GC SRT and the Durango R/T (RWD & AWD)
Model | Engine | GVWR | Curb Weight | Payload | Weight Distribution (F/R)
SRT8 | 6.4-liter | 6,500 | 5,150 | 1,350 | 54/46
RWD R/T | 5.7-liter | 7100 | 5133 | 1340 | 51/49
AWD R/T | 5.7-liter | 7100 | 5331 | 1340 | 52/48
Looks like the SRT springs will not work on the R/T the Weight Distribution is to far off to make it work. The only good thing from these stats is the Durango is pretty even F/R.
