Eibach pro lift kit

How much did your front end settle, I installed mine on Thursday and was pretty surprised at how much the front came up. 2" seems to net a lot more aesthetically on these Tacos than it does on a full size rig. Hadn't planned on doing anything at all in the back but if the front doesn't settle much an AAL is probably in my future.

 

Honestly, I'm not sure. In my haste to get my kit installed at Eibach HQ, I forgot to take before measurements to compare... after the kit was on, I was too happy driving to remeasure lol.

What clip are you on?

 

First/Lowest

 

@Ryan at Eibach Are these going to be available without the coil springs for those of us that want to use a uncommon spring rate? Any updates on the release date? Thanks.

 

And, can we put them on non TRD-PRO trucks?

 

Is it possible to order just the front struts, assembled?

 

I do believe these are developed for non PRO applications

 

Tacos all have the same suspension limitations and requirements.

Meaning you can put the same struts on pros and sr models.

 

Got my kit installed today!

2nd clip on the front, wheelers 2” aal in the rear. The installer left the overload leaf in even though I said he could remove it. Glad he left it in because the truck sits with a little rake still, which is what I was hoping for.

I only drove about 7 miles home with the kit on from the shop, and its a night and day difference in ride from the stock suspension to me. Rides so much smoother, eats up bumps better, and I dont feel body roll in turns. If youre on the fence about this kit I would highly recommend it. Ive had a smile on my face since I picked it up and thats what its all about!

Wheels and tires are stock currently. Will have a new setup on order this week or next.

 

We sold through what we had, but we have another order coming and we are placing yet another order just to ensure we keep them in stock. So the site is back up and taking orders if interested.

 

We are not big fans of the front diff drop since they provide very little correction. Fact is you are only dropping the diff support arms that extend forward and attach to the cross member, so in essence you are just angling the diff. Also when you do this you now have to lower your skid plate so you basically loose clearance. So that said if planning to do a 3" lift it can be somewhat beneficial, but if just at 2 or 2.5" I would not bother dropping the diff.

As for the carrier bearing drop with our 3 leaf we have tested we have not experienced any rear vibs, so we wouldn't bother installing this product either. Same goes with the Deaver single leaf AAL.

The kits we have are complete and we don't bother including unnecessary product.

Hope this helps

 

Looks great!

 

Did you measure for lift?

 

I did it. I ordered my first lift! The stage 1 Pro-Truck Lift from Eibach as well as the 1 inch lift block! I've done a lot of research and scoured a lot of lifts and this seemed perfect for me. I still do have a couple of questions if someone would be able to help.

1.) I was thinking of placing the ring on the second level, I wanted just a bit more height but I know the higher levels are meant for if your have heavier equipment (steel bumper, etc.). Is this ok to do or will it be best to leave it on the first ring level?

2.) Would a 1/4" spacer in the front be okay to run? I did want around 3 inches of lift, but the reviews and videos on this kit seemed too good not to go with Eibach. I do not want the truck to have that Cali Lean. Would the 1/4" strut spacer be too much for only having a 1 inch block in the rear?

3.) Any other tips and tricks on installing or information on the kit would also be appreciated

Thank y'all!

 

If you are running a block in the rear I’d set it to the second clip.

I think adding the spacer would be a bit much. You might be higher in the front.

 

That looks great!

 

So possibly a 1.5 inch AAL and the spacer would be even? I think I be read that’s what some people here are doing

 

@Ryan at Eibach

OK, reading the previous few posts has me a little confused. So maybe you can shed some light for me.

Stock setup is 2" of rake, roughly 21 in front, 23 in back. If I was to go first clip (should be 2" of lift correct?) with the lean spacer and a 1.5" AAL, I SHOULD still have 1.5" of rake when it's all said and done. Or am I missing something somewhere that would throw this off?

 

I did not measure. I didnt take any pre-lift measurements to go off of, but if you guys would like I could give it a try in measuring it today. Id say I got atleast 2.5” of lift, as my husbands’s 4runner is lifted 3inches and I am about half an inch lower than the 4runner currently.

 

That sounds about right
