    From all the hearsay I chose to try 650lb. I have the 2.7, but have a heavy plate bumper+winch. 650 is way too soft!

    Is anyone running 700lb springs on their 1st gen? From what I could tell this rate seems like taboo for 1st gens. Most of the 2nd gen guys seem to be running 650-700.

    Hm. Thanks for the data point. Are you running a winch?

    While I have the 2.7, I do have a winch w/steel cable, off road lights, and I also have a camper shell on (I don't think this should matter too much since it's over the rear.

    I believe I've seen that write up before. Both the master and slave currently on the truck were from autozone. So figured the swap to aisin was necessary.

    Also never got around to pulling ECU to see the part number haha. I thought I read you figured out the problem was the URD piggyback?

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I'm moving to a desert climate very soon, I'd like to set it up for double duty, little bit of jumping and still a good trail hog.

    I'm at about 21.75" on both sides. The 14" springs are preloaded 1-3/8" DS and 3/4" PS

    I would hope so. Summit racing is a pretty big brand.. I doubt they would be peddling fake Eibach product

    There should be a Eibach stamp right before the PN on the coil. And they will be Silver.

    They are installed properly.

    Does anyone know what Eibach considers to be the maximum amount of preload for their springs?

    I imagine it would be a % of the uncompressed length, but I can't find this information anywhere.
