Eibach pro lift kit

I think post# 2612 mentioned it, stating it was like $849 for the fronts only.

 

I ordered the same thing on April 30th and paid for assembly on the first notch. I see you got yours, but nothing here yet. Talked to Travis again today. Still no idea when I will get it. (showed in stock on site when ordered...) Apparently FIFO not the policy.

 

Sorry to hear that. I ordered mine on May 15th. It came in this past Monday and I did not receive any tracking. I was surprised when the lady said you got a big package and it might be the lift kit.

 

Just wanted to share an update since installing my stage 1 kit.

first notch
Rear icon aal w/o overload leaf
1/4 spacer for taco lean
Stock UCA
No CMC ... yet

Picture with trd pro wheels is 265/70 KO2’s
Picture with summit off road wheels 285/70 duratracs

No rubbing when I had the trd pro wheels

With new wheels 17x9 0 offset I do rub off road. Minimal while daily driving.

for sure next thing will be cmc.

 

Looks great! Where about in Oregon are you?

 

Thank you!
Portland/Beaverton area.

I just removed a spacer lift and replaced it with the eibach and a 3 leaf aal.
The Eibach is WAY BETTER. The spacer lift was super stiff in back and front. Not anything like stock. That and the axle wrap was terrible.
Stay away from a cheap spacer lift and go with this. You won't regret it.

 

Took some pics. Crappy pics but like the ride and stance. Alignment scheduled for tomorrow.

 

Nice! I'm down near Eugene

 

Does anyone have any actual measurements of the height gain before and after installing the kit?

 

Does anybody have a comparison of how it looks on the first and second notch I’m trying to decide wether to go with first or second I’m going with 265/75/16

 

Got a couple decent pics, finally:
-second clip
-285/75 16 with 0 offset

 

Looks great!

 

Like the tire choice, any rubbing on second notch?

 

I do not have any stock measurements. That is a fun sound... front propeller shaft/diff? Did you do this yourself? Run through the instructions and see if you put anything on backwards (including the leafs). That sound is new to me, sorry bud.

 

I installed them, confirmed they're oriented correctly with mil wrap eye in front shackle. Retorqued shackle and hanger bolts, greased bushing sleeves correctly.

Thinking about swapping driver over to passenger and vice versa to see if it's the actual leaf spring out of spec kinda deal vs. driver side axle mounting location.

The sound has thrown everyone, including the neighbor hence him putting his hands on the springs and mentioning they driver's doesn't seem to be sliding but jumping and causing the sounds. He said it's like 0.020-0.030 microscopic type movement, said the spring might still be breaking in or coating peeling...who knows. We hit them with silicone spray and no noticable improvement.

Still kinda sounds like wheel/brake grinding when I ghost rode it down the gravel road coming home...but I'm no mechanic or race car builder/former driver.

Just not pleasant and not at all what others running same leaf with less weight are experiencing (which is just par for the course in my own 2020 mod efforts).

 

Picked up my kit yesterday, installing it today!

I got my truck with a 3/1 spacer lift from the dealer, excited to replace that. Keeping the 1" rear blocks for now. Hopefully picking up some OME Dakar leafs in the next month or so.

 

@Wheeler's Off-Road Inc
Just got off the phone with Travis at Wheeler's. He said mine still has not been received from Eibach. When I told him you ordered two weeks after me and have received and installed it, he said that is impossible. Orders are filled in the order receiveved. So congrats on the "Miracle". Your truck looks great!

 

Not very good to hear that you were bumped off the schedule, I did call them twice to get a status and the last person I spoke too, Josh if I remember correctly told me that they would have mine shipped out that same day I called. Good luck and I hope yours gets to yo ASAP.

 

It took 6 weeks or so for mine to come in but I ordered right at the start of this covid mess. Eibach shut down for a week and then went to a skeleton crew to fill orders. So things have not caught up since. Hopefully yours come in soon.

Josh is the man. He responds to email or phone calls and has the scoop on what is going on.
