    If this is intended to allow a return to stock ride height after adding some weight then I’m interested as well.

    I’d like to add a bumper and winch (and maybe batteries later) but worried about the extra weight.

    Today we tested with the 4runner PRO and we're very pleased with the outcome. Note: production springs will be red. This kit is launched and will have an optional rear spring.

    Tacoma R&D starts tomorrow at 730am.

    How much stiffer are the new springs compared to the stock ones?

    That's great. Can you give us any info like what the new spring accomplished? Ride, height gain, etc.

    Is this the correct Link to the 4runner springs you tested with the oem TRD Pro shocks? Part # E30-82-071-01-20
    https://eibach.com/us/i-7888-pro-lift-kit-springs-front-springs-only.html

    and corresponding rear?

    The truck you tested. Did it have a winch or any bumper?

    We used the factory rate so they really ride well.

    @Ryan at Eibach if you used the factory spring rate, then I assume the new springs are merely an increase in length? If so by how much?

    I am in the middle of working on my runner now. Would like to give these a try.
    Would it be possible for me to call you guys up and make an order?

    Glad to hear they’ll be red...now waiting to hear how we go about ordering a pair


    Anyone have any recommendations for the rear? My extra weight is from Mobtown recovery bar/front hitch, Cali Raised Sliders, and a Leer Cap. It’s level now, but I’m worried the front will be noticeably higher after getting the new springs. Will a set of Dakars do the trick and will I need the extra leaf?
