Eibach pro lift kit

Thank you for the feedback! Appreciated! It definitely seems like a hard setup to beat for the money and intended usage.

 

Did you leave the overload leaf in?

(Honestly not sure if the ride quality changes with or without)

 

It looks like the new ones will be of aluminum construction and adjustable. Looks similar/comparable with the FOX 2.0 coilovers. I am guessing they will be slightly cheaper than the FOX 2.0.

 

Ok thanks. I too have an Icon AAL and plan on taking out the overload. I guess ill have to expect the same ride quality as you described.

 

I did it! I pulled the trigger and ordered this kit through Headstrong this morning. Very excited.

I’m having them pre-assembled at the 1st clip. I keep second guessing myself and wondering if I should call Marie and have them bump it up to the 2nd clip before they ship???

I decided to do a 1.5” block in the rear to maintain some rake. I already have 16” Ray 10’s that I plan on wrapping with 265-75-16 Falken WildPeaks or DuraTracs.

So, do you think I should stick with the first clip since I’m not going huge on tires???

 

I'd keep it at the first clip. 2nd clip is good if you have added weight in the front like a steel bumper, winch, etc. If you dont have any of those, stay at the first clip. It will ride much nicer. Also, consider getting an AAL for the rear instead of a block.

 

How much lift did you end up getting? I was thinking of going this route temporarily.

 

If youre not running 285s Id say the first clip is just fine. My truck looked odd on the 2nd clip with stock 265 tires.

 

Yeah, I think you guys/gals are right. I’m sticking with the first clip. As for the rear, I don’t ever haul or tow anything very heavy. I have other stuff for that. So, I don’t need the extra capacity that an AAL offers and I wanted to avoid the stiffer ride that comes with them & that’s why I chose a small block. If it proves to be problematic, I can always swap to something else.

 

Eibach is running the promo until 4-30 as far as I know.

 

tbh, I didn't get pre-lift measurements so I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you exactly. But my guess is I got ~1.5-2" in the front?

 

Badass! Cool video. Thanks, for sharing! Anybody know how the Eibach’s finish holds up to the elements? Central PA in the Appalachians can be brutal on equipment with the shit they put on the roads. I think I’m going to ceramic coat and fluid film them before the snow flies, but I’d still like to know anyone’s experiences.

 

Thanks, for the info. I’m really hoping for 2” or just a bit over. If I only get 1.5”, I think I’ll consider jumping up to the 2nd clip. We shall see. Regardless, I’m very excited. I’ve really only heard good things about this kit.

 

Np man, this is a GREAT KIT. You'll definitely enjoy it as much as the rest of us already do

 

I hope so & I think you’re right. Very anxious to put it through the paces on my family’s property.

 

Instead of jumping to the second clip add a 1/4” spacer Over the top hat before you install the kit this will give you the added .5” lift without having to move to the second clip and compressing the coil which will result in a rougher ride if you don’t have any added weight up front

 

Been looking at the Eibach pro kit for some time now. Going to go for it but have a question for you guys. I won’t be upgrading tires as my 265/70/17 Wildpeaks are fairly new. So planning on getting the front struts set at the 1st notch with the 3 leaf pack from OH. Would UCAs be necessary? I don’t plan on off-roading. Do haul quite a bit of stuff from time to time and plan on getting a camper/topper in the near future.

 

What rims are you running? I've ran a 265/70/17 on OE sport wheels with no lift and didn't need to replace UCAs

 

I have the 4Runner TRD Pro rims
