Taco PRO Owners: Interested in a spring upgrade for front?

You know it.

 

What size tires do you have there?

 

285/75r16 on all stock suspension/wheels.

 

Experiencing much rubbing with those meats on there?

Edit: forgot to mention: great looking dog there bro.

 

Did you have to CMC?

 

What is everyone’s opinion on the best overall rear suspension mod/upgrade to go along with these springs rather than using a block? Icon, Dakar, OME etc.?

 

My plan was to use a 1.5” Icon AAL.

 

No matter what, I wouldn’t use blocks. I for 3 years ran a icon progressive aal. (Wheelers ) is a little cheaper and it is the same product. They are both around 199 or 299. Don’t quite remember.
Since the progressive aal, I switched to a Icon RXT leaf pack set at option 1. Both of these different options put me at a 1.5” lift in back

 

Yeah I plan to run the Icon RXT pack at option 1.

 

You’ll like it a lot. It comes with an extra leaf for the pack i case you ever what to stiffen it up for more weight,towing, or height. (Option2)

 

Any updates on the new springs for TRD PROs? I would be interested.

 

As of january 22nd we are looking at 8-10 weeks for production.

 

LOVE both the Dog and the Taco!!!

 

Not so sure about that. Mark indicated that once the part number was released it would be 8-12 weeks for production. The part number has yet to be released.

 

Thats just what the last update was that I am listing. And it wasnt release part number, then go into production. They went into production, then they will release a part number so you can pre-order. Would seem silly to wait till you have a part number and people start pre-ordering then actually start making them.

 

Do we order through Eibach when they get ready for production you think or from distributors?

That wasn't my interpretation. I assumed Eibach would release the part number, open for pre-orders, and then begin production.

 

I think I asked this before, but has anyone called AFCO? All you need is spring diameter, ID/OD, length and spring rate.

That just wouldnt make sense for a large company that has already done all the leg work to make these springs. Why set up pre-orders before you even begin production? Seems like they would just make them since they already did all the R&D work to make them.

"Production times are currently 8-12 weeks. Once we officially release this part number, you will be able to pre-order."

Nothing in that statement would lead me to believe they are waiting till we start ordering to start making them. This isnt like one of our local vendors here that sometimes have to get an idea of how many of something to order, or needs the money upfront to order from the maker. Eibach being a big company that does their own manufacturing wouldnt need to pre-order to decide what they need to make. They would just make 50 sets, sell them, then when they have 10 sets remaining, make another run.


It could make more sense if they set up a pre-order before they did all the design work to figure out if there was enough of a demand for these springs.
