Eibach pro lift kit

Do it! Or what the hipsters say... " YOLO"

 

I'm questioning which notch to put it on the first or second? I have no weight in the front

 

I have already ordered mine but the only reason I see to wait is stage 2 maybe released soon. Then all of us may be bummed we didn't wait.

 

I've heard from Eibach the 2nd clip is for extra weight so with no weight I assume that would be a stiffer ride.

 

Just received a notification that mine should be here this Saturday.

 

I spoke directly to Eibach 2 days ago to ask them about the Stage 2 that is coming out. I was told expected availability is May 22nd. Priced at $943.00. Fronts only. I will stick with Stage 1- seems like everyone is happy with them.

 

do it do it

 

Alright I have made my decision but have one question.... im going with first notch and was wondering if I should get a rear lift or leave it?

 

I’d leave the rear as is.

 

If I have around 130 pounds of weight up front and bed bars where I carry kayaks regularly should I add a leaf and the "tacoma lean fixer" spacer on the driver side?

 

I’m curious as to why you recommend this. Don’t most Tacoma’s sit about 1” higher in the rear? If the Eibach setup provides 2” of front lift, wouldn’t that produce the “Cali Lean” if nothing is added to the rear?

Maybe I’m misunderstanding it, but it seems like you’d want at least a 1” bump in the rear to be level and maybe 1.5” to have a bit of rake?

 

I know every Tacoma ends up being a little different, but I set the front on the lowest clip and I added a 1.5" single AAL from Wheeler's Offroad and I currently have 1" or rake. No additional weight anywhere on the truck.

 

I've already got my lift installed, had a little hiccup but got it resolved and am extremely happy with the results. Long story short, the spring perches were installed upside down and I had to wait a few days before I could have access to a "real" spring compressor to fix it. Being anxious to get it fixed and not wait a few days I decided I would "rent" a spring/strut compressor from Autozone and do the work myself. When I went to use the compressor, there was no way in hell it was going to fit the application, did I just get the wrong tool? What spring compressor are you guys using? This is the tool I attempted to use.

 

I went first notch, nothing in the rear. Very happy with results. If I decide to go up one notch I would probably add a 1" block to the rear. I don't care for rake though, many do.

 

How much lift did you get in the front? Do you have any side pics from a bit of distance?

 

I got right around 2" in the front. I did g et a 1/4" spacer for the driver side and they are pretty much equal with it. I just have some crappy pictures from my parking lot at work that don't look too good, but here they are.

 

Perfect. Looks great! Glad I went the 1.5” lift in the rear like you did. Thanks, for sharing!

 

Looks great mate!

I'm hoping mine will looks just as good, the fender flares change the look a bit. Still wish I could remove them without the damage showing, fingers crossed it doesn't look bad.

 

Can you send a pic?
