Eibach pro lift kit

That's awesome to hear Swoly. Thanks for the feedback. Eibach kit arrived yesterday and now just waiting on Wheeler's AAL order to arrive!

 

yeah I ordered my wheelers add a leaf last week they said they were on back order so hopefully they get them shipped out soon! I have a bad bro lean at the moment

 

Well crap. Didn't realize they were on backorder. Like you said, maybe they'll get stock and send out soon.

 

With the 1.5” add a leaf and the eibachs set to the first notch did you still have some rake or was it pretty level? I just ordered my kit and a 2” AAL.

 

Some rake, which is why I wanted it.

Just called the shop, getting this installed Wednesday morning!

 

I have 1" or rake, but it looks fairly level.

 

Is anyone running the Eibach Pro TruckLift on the third notch? If so what kind of height did you get? I’m considering moving from the second to the third and was wanting an idea as to the difference. I am running a hybrid bumper, led, and winch so weight is there. I do realize there are variables to this just wanted a general idea. I’ll eventually get to putting in 285 17s so I’m sure any little bit will help with clearance. Eibach doesn’t have specs for this setting due variables so any help is appreciated.


Also a heads up for those with weight in the back. IT WILL SAG. My 1.5” AAL lasted about a month before I noticed sagging with only 225 lbs on them. They were only holding 1/4” over factory when scrapped. Factory leafs are junk! Save yourself time, money, and headache. New leafs are the way to go.

 

what brand AAL?

 

Curious as to what size tires are you running currently? And did you leave overload leaf with your install of the 1.5" AAL?

 

Originally i had local shop put in an AAL that they trust, not sure it wasn’t super cheap and sagged quick! Today I had Icon AAL 1.5” put on. There was a miscommunication between me and the shop. I had intended on putting new Icon leafs, but got there and had Icon AAL. Anyway, $400 later I have name brand AAL and a total gain of 1” on 1.5” AAL. A bit hard to tell in the picture, but it’s up about .5” in back.
If they sag, I’ll buy Dobinson leafs, and do it in my drive.

Tires are General Grabber 275-75-16 ATX. Hope to go to 285-17 soon. I’d keep these on factory rims and set aside for overland trips. They are E rated, heavy, and not great day to day because of that. Fantastic on trails though.

If icon aal holds, great. Saved $500. If it doesn’t, wasted $400.
Overloads left on.

 

Eibach factory installed lift love it.

 

What does eibach factory installed mean?

 

I am assuming Eibach installed it at their facility. Several members here have had that done.

 

Dealer installed at Fred Anderson Toyota of Asheville ,sorry

 

Isn’t Eibach in California?

 

Used to sell tons of Eibach when I worked at an automotive shop, they were always a quality product, much better ride than most, but that was on road. Eibach makes springs for the off road guys too, they have for years. Don't think you can go wrong there.

 

Looks good man. Do you know and details of your lift aside from that it is Eibach? 1st notch, 2nd notch, what was used in the rear? And tire size?

 

265/70/17, 1st notch, 1” block.

Spoiler

just guessing

 

Has anyone installed this kit themselves and left the tie rod connected? I’ve seen it installed both ways and am just curious about anyone’s experience without removing the tie rod, thanks!

 

I have never removed the tie rod, have had the shocks off multiple times.
