    Yeah - It took a couple of hours to get done but well worth it. I am happy with the Eibach lift and JBA UCA combo.

    I bought the lift from Wheelers pre-assembled for a small fee.

    If I decided to put a 1/2" thick spacer on the drivers side, and a 1/4" on the passengers to get a 3" lift would that work? What are the negatives about this setup? Its only slightly different then adding a lean spacer.

    If you are already at 2.5" then mathematically it should give you 3" total if you have a lift. How it will ride i'm not sure

    So the JBAs got here this morning so tomorrow I will add the UCAs and the Eibach lift kit early morning. Once the AAL gets to me I'll install that as well. I just don't want to wait till everything gets here.:D

    Did any of you get more hight than you wanted? I just installed the Eibach Pro Lift kit with the second perch setting because I have a steel bumper and I’m getting 4 inches.:annoyed: I drive around a bit to see if it will settle but nope. Still have 4 inches. I went from 34 even to 38 even. I did put the 1/4 inch lean spacer and both sides measure the same. 38 :angrygirl:

    This doesn't sound right. You have any pics of how the springs look like? I'm on the second perched and I gained around 2.5" and I have no extra weight upfront. So should around that or lower. I have a TRD OR, not sure if that would make a difference.

    Here is the before and after and it looks right to me. Even a side by side pic. It looked like it was on the second perch as I asked and they came pre-assembled. I might just take the truck to my shop and have them look at them to see if there is anything wrong. Then maybe take them out and have them put them on the first perch. The truck measured 34" 1/4 before the bumper then I lost 1/4" after the bumper install so I was shooting for 2" 1/4 according to the instruction on the Eibach site. The bumper only weighs 153 lbs.

    I have no idea what happened here. I have a TRD Sport so it's not a 4X4 just 2WD. If I messed up it might be on one side but both sides measure 38" even.

    Maybe because you have the 2wd? Is it a 4 door?

    It is a double cab, so yes 4 doors. I believe the only difference is that mine does not have a front dif.

    Front diff + cv + front driveshaft adds a bit of weight. Not sure if it's enough to make up this difference though

    I know this wont help with extra height but just curious, on the pic with the JBA UCA's & eibach installed, it looks like you are at full droop, is the UCA contacting the spring? Can't tell from that angle.

    There is plenty of room there now with the JBA UCA. I drove it and nothing out of the ordinary. Thanks

    I think the issue lies in your before measurements. I have 38 1.4 on the second notch. So you are where most people are with the lift you just started from a lower point for some reason. I’m sure the bumper like you said has some reasons. And I didn’t see, but do you have a TRD or a different model?

    I did not measure before the bumper install but I did measure before this install from the ground to the fender and it was an even 34" on the driver side front and 34 1/4" on the passenger side. The rear measured 36 1/4" on the driver side and 36 1/2" on the passager side.
    Compared to 2 other 2019 TRD Sport 2WD trucks without a bumper, I only lost 1/4" on the front with the bumper installed. If you don't raise the rear with a block or an AAL you get a level looking truck but with this installed I have the front at 38" and the rear at 36 1/4" so the front is 2" hight that the rear.

    I'm calling Eibach tomorrow to see if this is normal for a 2WD and also have the shop drop them to the 1st perch to see what I get. If you see the first photo you can see that they look like they are on the first perch. The other 2 photos are the stock strut and both Eibach which looks normal to me.
