    One thing with buying these mounts aftermarket. Many of them have a lift built in. They move the spring it self up higher giving the similar result of the springs eibach is making. The only difference is that people call these perches "spacer lifts" even though they are not spacer lifts.

    Erik,

    I like where your head is at, BUT the 17-19' also have flat tops. So you would need an isolator up top and the perch down below. We actually have a perch that shares the same end configuration, but NOT diameters. So close, but so far...

    If, and this is a big If. Toyota would sell the pro top mounts we could get those. But from everything I see with pro models, you either buy the whole assembly, or you get nothing.

    Add me to the list of '17-'19 Pro owners interested in some of these springs. Been looking forward to these for adding some weight to my '18 Pro

    Looking more closely at the pictures you provided, it may still work with the flat.

    One thing worth noting is the benefits of the open end configuration. 2020's with their open end config may offer more travel to block.

    So if anything, it is beneficial to make the 2020 springs work, rather than the other way around.

    I was just using these for a ballpark price investigation. I actually had a hard time finding coil perches and when these popped I snagged it.

    Yea, and at that point you're cutting off your nose to spite your face. As you said before, adding more support and/or lift to an aging, or for that matter, just more support to a newer non-sagging spring would be the perfect situation for so many more people. Seems a shame if that's the case.

    Glad I didn't sell my 14" 700# coils. Now I can save some money on these new coils and buying steel armor.

    I've held out for these since hearing about them, but my Pro is a 19. You thinking these still may work with the flat tops without running perch for the open ended spring? Curious how to make these work.

    You're not alone. The rest of us have been too.

    I'm thinking a 4" angle grinder :notsure:

    so how much of a lift would the 2020 create? does the 2020 PRO give the truck a higher lift?

    Well, if eibach is going to only sell springs for the 2020 models, then we need to convert the older pro suspension to take the new style of spring. I posted some pictures a few pages back showing the different years. 2017-2019 has a flat end on each of the springs, while 2020+ does not, so the 2020 spring will not fit right on older models.
