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

Damn I swear when I looked a few minutes ago they were. I must be losing my mind

 

haha, the little icon is easy to confuse and so are the part numbers. Either way I strongly encourage anyone interested to place their backorders. It's essentially just getting your name on a set.

 

Yeah I am interested to test them in snow. Lol one of the biggest reasons I went with this tire was these two reviews. https://****************/2020/05/10/cooper-evolution-mt-first-look-review/ and https://****************/2021/04/02/cooper-stt-pro-vs-cooper-evolution-mt/ He makes the snow performance sound awesome! Not sure if I have to be aired down, or how it will be with snow and about 34PSI. We shall see.

Plus these tires are the lightest MTs in this size I could find, and I also like the aggressive treads. They seem to perform very well in the rain, no slipping and sliding yet. Also they were pretty loud when I first got them, but after 100 miles, the lugs must have rounded out and have quieted down a lot.

Will keep you posted on snow!

 

the springs for the 2017, it will give it 1.5 over factory Pro ??????? thats why you need a rear block. ?

 

Without weight on the front or a lift in the rear, it may have reverse rake.

 

yea but how much lift does it have over stock oem pro,, i ask this because.. my 2017 oem Pro spring broke at 36500 miles, no springs available at the time it broke,out of warrenty,, so i bought a set of fox 2.5's with remote resivors, put a 1 in block in the back, and adjusted the new fox's so my pro was level. my oem shocks i had a 3/4 top spaceron my oem foxes.. so that gave me 1.5 lift with my oem foxes. with 1 in. block it was level with the 3/4 top spacer

so i ordered a set of your springs. im going to put them on my OEM pro shocks, so do these springs give 1.5 lift over factory oem pro shocks..

 

whats the, hub center to bottom fender measurement,, with just your springs on a set of 2017 pro fox's.. on a pro,, someone must have this measurement.. tks,, i want to see if its about what i have, with the fox's, i have now.. i dont want to loose anything when i put the OEM's back on.. i miss the red springs on my pro,, the 2.5 foxes turned to rust in 6 months.. i want them off..

 

lol... if you had a new 2017 pro, took the factory springs off, and put the eibach springs on it , how much higher would the truck sit... hummm.. thats what im trying to find out. would it sit 1.5 in. higher

 

We call out the lift height based on an average gain during installs, so you should get approximately 1.5" lift over factory setup.

 

Will these work on a 2021 Tacoma Limited?

 

They will if you've switched your stock suspension with a TRD Pro, otherwise no.

 

from what ive read in this thread, this is still gives one about 3/4 rake with these springs and a 1 inch rear block,,, my pro new had 3/4 in rake,
im thinking about adding 1/4 in top plate spacer for an extra 1/2 in. thoughts,, my original oem springs with a 3/4 top plate spacer, and 1 in. rear block i was level.. i want the same look with the EiBach springs..

any link to a 1/4 top plate spacer.. thanks

 

Mark@Eibach I can’t seem to find an answer to this question, but I’m wondering if it’s ok to run your pro springs with the wescott lift on a 2019 pro?

thanks.

 

AAAAAAAAAHHHH! WOOOOOO HOOOOOO! Oh man! You just made my Christmas season! I’m trying to get 34’s on and not ditch the Fox! Guess I’m ordering the Eibach now!!

 

Find out what he did for upper control arms. I sent him a message but didn't get a response. The alignment is maxed out with Wescott or Eibach. Doing both will require new UCA's. Disregard this if you've already changed them. When I saw his pic I said "Hell ya" but need to stash away some money for new arms first.

 

Also make sure you have a heavy duty wall mounted spring compressor when you put these on... my little hand powered one was bending just compressing the springs enough to get them bolted down. I can only imagine what another inch of compression would do.

 

mill give it a go with my hand helds. I have 4 compressors, so maybe using 3 on a spring will help. If it gets to sketchy I’ll back off and have a shop do them.

we’re you able to get the original springs off with the you hand held ones?

 

Yes I got the originals off pretty easy. The biggest problem with the hand held ones is the parts that grip the spring are so thick that they rub on the shock and then get pinched in the coil when its all mounted together. I had to remove the long bolts and pound the little claw things out of the coils because they would not just come out.

 

all good to know.

what else beside the cmr and I assume porch weld did you end up having to do? Do you have a build thread?
