EIBACH PRO-TRUCK LIFT KIT (STAGE 1) FOR 16+ TACOMA REVIEW

So, we've listed the 1" based off our testing. We found the 1" gives plenty of bump and droop with exceptional ride quality. Can you put a 3" lift on these? Likely, but you will be limited on droop travel and will be in the top of your travel range and ride quality may be reduced. THAT BEING SAID, most people with 3" lifts aren't sitting static at 3" with your vehicle load. Depending on the spring rate, you may be sitting at 1.50" of lift over the factory height.

I can tell you that our rear shock for the Tacoma PN:E60-82-007-01-01 eye to pin is: 23" extended and 14" compressed yeilding a total of 9" of travel.

I'm personally running the Icon RTX leaf pack on the 1.75" setting and she's got plenty of room to move.

 

Ok so would this kit and some Wheel spacers be enough to fit 285/70r17 using stock 17” sport rims? Or should I be looking at a diff kit?

 

Thanks! Right now, in the rear from middle of wheel to top of fender I measure out 25" whereas stock is 22" I believe. I don't do any crazy off roading, just mainly forest/fire roads.

 

Hey, on the eibach pro lift for 3rd gens, how many notches do u have?

 

I don’t have the Eibach lift currently, just considering it for when I need to upgrade in the next year or so. I believe they have 3 notches

 

Anyone running this Eibach lift kit with Icon 2"AAL?
Just wondering if I even need to put AAL's.

 

There are a few on here running those. You're probably going to want to add some kind of AAL unless you raise it only to the lowest notch in the front.

 

Not having read the entire thread - sorry - let me ask this. I'm looking for a 2" front, 1" rear lift. Can I do that with the Eibach? Just looking to level and correct for winch and bumper. Thanks.

 

@heel_touge can confirm, but I believe front is 2" on the lowest clip and 1" can be achieved with rear leaf packs. Leaf packs do the lifting.

 

Does anyone know if its 2.0" or 2.5" on the lowest settings?

 

Just curious if someone has a similar setup but I have a Southern Style Off-road Slimline front bumper with winch. Would the third notch be used for this kind of setup to achieve around 2.5" of front lift and then pair with something like an ICON Rxt for around 1.5" of rear lift? Or would a different notch be recommended to achieve 2.5-3" of front lift? Just checking before I install.

 

With that 1" rear block and lift up front, did it cause any vibrations for you? I know most of the time people can get away with no vibrations with a little lift in the front but it seems like vibrations occur with rear manipulations just due to drive shaft angles and what not.

 

2" on lowest, 2.75" on middle, 3" top but used with metal bumper or added weight to the front.

 

none what so ever. Truck feels and rides even better than stock.

 

If you didn't install yet I would suggest the second notch. You're not going to like the ride on the 3rd notch with the bumper and winch. The second will get you up 2.25 or so. Plenty of lift.

 

Did you need a diff drop kit with this set up? Or UCA? I want to save a few bucks and go with the block on rear(I don't offroad) or an AAL is more crucial?

 

So you highly recommend I pair this set up with UCA

 

Which one is the highest notch? Top or Bottom?

 

With the strut in the upright position, the top notch is at the top (closest to the spring). Visa versa to identify the bottom notch.

 

So with no added weight I should set mine to the middle? They say the top is reserved for weight and will be a rough ride
