Eibach PRO TRUCK Coilover 2.0 Stage 2

That doesnt appear to come with anything to lift the rear. The rear shocks will accommodate 0-1.5" lift although don't provide the lift themselves. If you plan to install the front and crank them up you will need something for the rear like blocks, AAL or full leaf packs.

 

I got the full front and rear set and plan to go 2" in front and 1" in the back to fit 18” Fuel Rebel 6 Wheels with a -12 offset, and 285/65r18 Toyo At3 tires! I am hoping this will work okay.

 

If you read by the price it says front and rear. It doesn't picture it but the Manufacture Part # listed is the same as this from Eibach website. So since it does come with rear shocks a block isn't necessary, right?

 

You need to get blocks or add a leaf . Front and rear shocks and like someone above said “ will accommodate for 0-1.5 lift “

 

Okay so dumbing it down for me I should pair the Stage 2 with the Eibach LB81-82-007-01-02 PRO-TRUCK Rear Lift Block ??

 

Just installed this myself this past weekend. Ride is much better than stock sport suspension. Soaks bumps and no bouncing. At 50k my fronts were shot making my KM3s cup pretty badly. I purchased rears same time from Stage 3 but rears are on back order until the end of this month.

With fronts installed (no adjustment, straight out of the box) and nothing touched in the rear, truck sits 1/2" higher in the front. I'm hoping it will settle by the time the rears show up otherwise may adjust down to match the rear. I would take a 1/2" rear block if they made one. Also suggest doing the ECGS at the same time to reduce headache. Bearing had no visible damage but when rotating by hand imperfections could be felt. Putting bushing in freezer helped with ease of install.

Be sure to check your axle seal on inboard side of spindle, as the factory just jammed it in and deformed the seal and spring.

Hands down worth every cent though.

Also this took care of my notorious tacoma click/clank/tack over bumps which i thought was my radiator support bushings but was actually the bushing in the bottom of the factory bilstein. Could visibly see the sleeve in bottom wasn't center in shock body indicating metal on metal contact somewhere in there.

I can answer any questions pertaining to that install if anyone needs. also took pics randomly through the install.

 

This is what I will be doing. I bought the 2.0 and the rear blocks. And yes, something is needed in the rear if you plan on lifting the rear as well. Or you can just install the kit and level the front. This kit is adaptable. I read a post from an Eibach rep that the rear shocks will handle more lift in the rear even though the website states 0 - 1.5". I believe he mentioned their trucks were running 2" in the rear.

 

Hey thanks for the tips!

 

Ribach rear shocks are actually good for up to 2.5" of lift. Mind you, I've installed my rears first before purchasing the fronts. So I drove on eibach rear shocks in the rear without any lift and they did fine, all though, I'm sure they are rated for up to 2.5" because when u ran them at stock height. The shock was atleast 2.5" collapsed before being fully collapsed to 14" or so, if that makes sense

 

Thank you that helps! Just called and spoke to Eibach and they have a discount coming next week of $100 off the Stage 2. I cancelled my order with Tire Rack and placed it with Eibach. They had them in stock and ready to ship plus $100 less! The salesman told me if I wanted to level the front then to just get the Stage 2, otherwise get a block to raise the back and front up as well. He also instructed me they were sold out of the lift blocks, but sent a bunch out to vendors so to keep an eye out online. I will probably get it through Extreme Terrain as this is where I got all my Jeep stuff! Thank you all for the help. I will update you after install.

 

I've read in sales listings for these coilovers that they are extended travel. However, I can't find any info on actual measured travel or comparison of extended and compressed lengths with that of the OEM shocks. Does anyone know if these actually offer longer travel, or are they a preload lift at the cost of droop travel like most other coilover options?

 

The stage 2, is actually about 1.5" longer than factory. Tho you get most of your lift from the coils. The more the coil compress, the less lift, the less the coil compress, the more lift you gain from sitting on top of the spring. It does not over extend/travel, like spacer lifts (bc you increase the shock body length with spacer) these suspension upgrade keeps you in range of motion without over extending and binding

 

I measured mine vs. my stock Sport struts. (Now my strut is still installed but the front suspension was at full droop.) The Eibach measured out about 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch longer. Unfortunately until I have the factory one out it is tough to measure accurately. If this is accurate then, yes these would have extended travel.

 

Question? Why did you put the 1/4 spacer if you just adjust the driver side higher than the passenger for the driver side lean? Just asking due to doing that myself.

 

Just to make adjusting height evenly a little easier most likely, thats why I did it.

 

Yup and yup! To adjust both my sides equally, and hopefully not sacrifice ride comfort.
But also, I mainly was trying to gain that full 3".

 

Btw how's your ride with the eibach? Has yours breaking in yet?

Mine is kinda stiff still. Not as stiff in the beginning like the fresh install. But definitely noticeably "firmer".

 

Pretty hyped not going to lie

 

Still stiff but Im ok with that, it never really dropped at all in the front. I need to get a CMC or get another alignment pushing caster a little more since it rubs a small amount on hard rebound and in reverse a little.

 

Yay CONGRATS!! Mine shipped yesterday and is expected Friday! I expect shipping delays because they have been so bad, but I am so excited!
