Eibach pro lift kit

So far running stock with the stock 17” Sport rim. Eventually keeping the rims and adding 285/75/17 not sure what brand yet.

 

A couple of other guys a few pages back we’re experiencing clunks as well. One had a leaking shock ( already handled by Eibach) and the other guy who mentioned it not sure if he ever had a follow up response as to what it was. I believe it was on page 37.

Edit: (add on) supposed to be getting mine installed in October. But now I’m a bit hesitant

 

Got my truck aligned. I have a lot less caster than before lift and I have positive camber now where I had negative camber before. The guy that did my alignment said he could straighten out the positive camber but I would lose caster to do it and steering would be twitchy. He said I need aftermarket UCA’s to correct it. He also said although it’s got positive caster that it’s not so bad that I’ll wear my tires funny or anything. Ryan at Eibach, does this seem correct? I’m kind of wishing I added UCA’s while they were already in there now.

 

Been thinking of adding some spc’s to my build but man $600...

 

My 6 year old daughter immediately commented when getting in, “Daddy, your truck is higher. What did you do to your truck?” My 9 year old son didn’t say a word. Wife has yet to get in.

 

Does any body know what the spring rate is on this kit? 700?

 

742

 

Ok cool. So I’ve lost a substantial amount of lift since I put it on. Bumper, winch, and about a year of being on the truck and this is where I’m at. Should I just take it up to the next notch? (3.2) or take it to the third?

 

2nd, IMO

 

I was hoping to do this without the expense of UCAs as well, but feel likes its the correct way to do it. Crazy, some people need them, others don’t.

 

Yea crazy considering that they’d be the most expensive part. But it’s def the right way. I’m still anxious to know what the mysterious “clunk” noise has been for ppl.

 

Did you ever figure out what the clunk noise was?

 

Going in tomorrow to see what’s up. I’ll keep y’all posted. It sounds minor but you never know.

 

My wife just asked me last night, “Why does your truck seem higher than 1” higher? Did you put something else on to make the truck higher?” I said nope just the bigger tires. (265/70/17) My 6 year old kid said, Dad why do you make your truck so fancy, do you want to get it stolen???


It’s the current state of society. Smh

 

Tightened a few bolts and DONE! No clunk!

 

Here’s the amount of lift I got. It was a little less than I expected. I guess really only about 1/8 less front & rear and that may be due to 90 pounds of sliders. You’ll notice the 1/4 taco lean spacer did help even it out side to side but a 1/2 would have been better.

Where did you get the mountain graphic on the tailgate?

 

On Etsy from someone called “ToyoDecal”

 

It’s within spec run it. I see stock Tacoma’s with positive camber all the time.
