Suspension question

Anyone rocking the Eibach Pro Truck lift system stage one? If so how does it ride and what tires do you have?

 

I’d like another 2nd gen owner to chime in about the Eibach pro kit as well...

Tons of 3rd gens happy w the kit. Whatever posts I find about 2nd gen installs are also happy with it. I know there’s a thread specifically for this kit but it’s hard to flip through 96 pages to find the 2nd gen opinions lol.

 

Yea there is lol thanks

 

Are you debating between the Eibach vs. 5100s? If it is, I don’t think you can go wrong either way.

I’m about to pull the trigger on the Eibach pro kit. Was sort of hoping for someone to chime in before I do but oh well haha.

 

Yea and i want the height of the 5100s because the eibach doesn’t have that same height. But it’s more expensive so i’m not sure.

 

What height are you looking for?
The Eibach kit has 2.5-3” ....

 

Yea i’m looking for 3, will that one give 2.5 on a double cab?

 

Yes the Eibach will give you 2.5” - 3” (*well technically some retailers say 2.75” safely*) on a double cab. The Eibachs have 2 clip settings- the first clip is 2.5” and the second is 3”.

The 5100 kit will give 3” with the right coils. The same thing here- depends on your coils and what setting you decide to set the shocks at (5100s have 4 clip settings)

It gets confusing. I did so much research and I’m still unsure lol.

I have a double cab. I’m looking for a 3” too.

 

lol we’re in the same boat i’ll probably go with eibach also

 

I’m gonna throw on a 1/4” spacer to hit my 3” just to be sure. Haha

Hoping someone will still chime in (lol) or if I find more info I’ll post a link here.

 

yea smart thanks for the help

 

jegs has a promo $50 off $500 if your interested ... I just pulled the trigger. lol

 

i got a quick question you might be able to help me with, if i wanted to add some rear height, would I be able to throw on an add a leaf package?

 

and i have another, sorry, are you adding a diff drop kit with the eibach

 

and you gotta let me know how it turns out too

 

Yes for rear height use an add a leaf pack. When choosing your pack make sure it adds height and not just replacement (most add height just double check).
I’m doing single add a leaf (AAL) because it’s cheaper and I just got new Toyota leaf pack installed. They say Toyota leafs are junk but I really don’t care if they sag down the line I’ll replace it then.

 

ok thanks and one more, does a diff drop lift the truck at all? thanks for all the help bro

 

Yes. I’m gonna buy a dif drop and see if I need it. I read that some people with 2.5” didn’t do diff drop but since I’m going for close to 3” Illl prob need it (I’ll see what the angle looks like when I install).

I’m still debating but I’m pretty sure I’m going to add top plate spacers- 1/2” driver side and 1/4” passenger. This will account for drivers side lean (taco lean) and give me just a tad bit more lift to guarantee my 3”.
I may just do 1/4” driver side just for the lean tho

 

You guys made this nice to read through. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same kit

 

No the diff drop does not lift. It drops your differential down a bit so that your CV axles won’t be at such a steep angle (after your lift). This helps give your CV more life** because when you lift it’s going to wear more vs stock.
