Eibach pro lift kit

What size tires? And what made go to the 1st notch instead of the 2nd?

 

1st notch is recommended if you don’t have added weight.

 

My Eibach kit comes in next week and will have it installed by the weekend. I will be putting it on the 2nd notch. Also got 2" icon AAL's. I will be putting it on 17" Icon Rebound wheels with 275/70 KO2's. Will post pic when installed.

 

I only wanted about 2” of lift up front. Also heard ride quality was a bit more firm on 2nd notch. I can’t say enough about ride quality on 1st notch. Most people say it’s more firm than stock but better. I think it’s just way better than stock period. Doesn’t seem too firm to me. Tires are KO2 265/70/17 C load.

 

Please share what spacer you used, where does it go upfront? Thank you

 

It’s a 1/4” spacer that is placed on the top hat of the front drivers side spring. I asked about it when I bought the kit from Wheelers and they suggested it. I think it was $11. I read a bunch about this on the forum as well. Apparently the stock suspension takes into account some sort of left front end lean the truck has but aftermarket suspensions don’t. Glad I got it because I am level with it.

 

Anybody on here set on the first notch running 285/70/r17 tires? If so, any rubbing?

 

Yes, a lot of guys are. Rubbing will really depend on how aggressive your offset is. For example, you will have much less chance of rubbing with a 0 offset wheel than you would with a -10 offset. Also depends how much you will be pushing the suspension. Lots of variables.

 

I rub a little bit driveways and backing up.
With a passenger it happens more often but not all the time.

• First notch
• Stock UCAs
• No CMC... yet (coming soon)
• 17x9 0 offset wheels
• 285/70/17 duratracs

 

In regards to the rubbing issues I have a SR5 with stock 16” wheel I just installed the stage 1 kit first notch want to put on 17 “ 4 runner wheels with 285/70/17 where do I find out the off set of stock wheels TIA

 

back of the wheel on the inside. Basically the other side of the face of the wheel

 

I get that. the inside of the wheel mounting to the back of the rim give you X dimension. My question is where does 0 off set start?

 

Check this thread to see if your wheels are on the list, MIGHT have the info you want. MAYBE....

Thanks for the link unfortunately the one I’m looking at aren’t there. I’ll do some more research

 

Install done on the first notch. Wheels and tires will be put on this Saturday.

 

What size wheels and tires you getting? And why did you decide on the 1st notch. I am trying to decide myself. Thanks

 

You already asked about the first notch.

 

For the people who have ran both this Eibach stage 1 kit and Bilstein 5100s on OME springs, which would you prefer and why?
I literally have both kits in my cart at headstrong and for the life of me can’t make a final decision because they both are good. So opinions needed from people who have ran both. Please and Thankyou.

 

I have 16 inch SCS Ray10s and KO2 265/75 tires going on Saturday. I just did the first notch since I don't have a aftermarket bumper going on. Eibach recommended that if you don't have any armour up front to just run the first notch. I also have the ICON 3 leaf AAL on with the overload taken out.

 

I never asked you. Some people have their different reasons.
Some people put it on the 2nd notch and don't have an aftermarket bumper.
