    The spring perch on the pro shocks is different left to right. No worry about the spring, its all built into the shock itself.

    Here are mine, you can see the perch on the right side shock is higher than the left side. That is the drivers shock and fixes the lean.

    Thanks for explaining that. That makes sense now. I can’t wait to get these things on. Just have to figure out which leaf pack to go with.

    So just that I understand, these springs don’t allow you to hang more weight on the front of your truck such as a bumper and winch? Rated for 620 lbs? Stock is 615 lbs or something? Maybe I’ve got this wrong

    It's a longer spring with a similar compression rate, but yes it was tested and designed for a stock setup. Whatever weight you have over stock will result in less lift

    It depends on what you want to achieve. If you want 1.5" of lift then no, don't add weight. If you don't want lift, then you can add a shit load of weight. If you want somewhere in-between 0-1.5" then you can add weight. The math was explained earlier in this thread on exactly how the weight will effect the amount of lift.

    Bottom line is 650# will compress a single spring 1". There are two springs up front. 650# will only compress the two springs .5". This is a simplified example of how spring rates and weight interact.

    Mine should come Wednesday. I think your distance to California is the most likely determining factor in how long you wait.

    Sounds about right. Eibach is based in Corona, CA. I am 25 minutes away from them.

    Got mine installed today along with the wheeler's progressive AAL. Got about 1.25" up front with my setup. Very happy with this for now. Next up is 285s!PXL_20210712_010439743.MP.jpg PXL_20210711_212312238.jpg PXL_20210711_212341499.jpg

    Look good! I have the exact same rear set up as well. Good to see how it'll turn out.

    A few.
    Ive been seeing more people putting lifts on Trd Pros this year than I ever have in previous years. Part of that is probably coz there are more options available

    Wait, so if you get a 1.25" lift, but the spring is only 0.75" doesn't that mean that its a higher spring rate than the stock TRD Pro spring? Or has the spring on the left just settled over time? Possibly both?

    I don't think a spring is going to 'settle' and get longer, but then again I have no idea what I'm talking about

    Yeah.
    The coilover attaches at about the halfway point of the LCA. So, a .75" longer spring should raise it about 1.5".

    Once again, I have been bamboozled by levers. Thanks for the explanation.
