Eibach PRO TRUCK Coilover 2.0 Stage 2

I did. I only went up 2” And could not get caster into spec without aftermarket UCA’s which isn’t a big deal but I didn’t like the way it felt. So I added some UCA’s and all good. Perfect alignment all the way around.

 

I went with freedom offroads uca's

 

I’m in a predicament concerning the pro truck stage 2 kit. Without a doubt i know this is a solid kit, but I am trying to figure out just how much lift height i will get/ can get out of them. I don’t want to break the bank and these seem like the perfect deal for the daily driver. I am currently running the supreme suspensions 3” front 2” rear spacer lift. I also have a SSO slimline hybrid front bumper with a winch, somewhere around the area of 100lbs, and it brought the front end down approximately .5”-1”. I’m looking to get near 2.5”-3” of lift out of the suspension I go for, that is including the weight in the front. My question with this kit being, will it be able to provide near 2.5” of lift with the additional weight, and if not, are there, if any, heavier duty springs I could swap onto them to make up for the weight?

This Is currently how the truck sits, and I’d like to replicate the height when switching the suspension out.

 

did the freedom uca change the caster at all or just give more travel?

 

You can get heavier springs for this set, might be able to talk to them directly to have it shipped that way

 

Update since my visit at Eibach and them swapping the front coilovers. The issue is still there. It’s a lost cause trying to have them rectify this issue so these will eventually be for sale. I’ll be going fox at the end of the year. Figure… buy once, cry once.

 

Sounds like you have a different issue

 

possibly, I had the truck looked over again and everything seems fine. There was another member that received a replacement set as well and continue having the same issue.

 

Me and yes, issue persists. Sucks because they are great otherwise.

I'm going to try lowering the front to see if that helps. I have not adjusted them at all.

 

I was trolling Tacomaworld, as one does with free time... and I came across this thread

https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/the-infamous-click-up-front…going-down.800581/

Has anyone who has experienced the clunk tried replacing the lower bolts? Apparently it is an issue with other aftermarket kits...

I found some bolts mentioned in the thread local. I will order them tomorrow and try next week. I will keep everyone updated.

 

Late to the party. Installed brand new eibach stage 2 kit with settings directly from eibach. Also included helper leaf in rear, no spacers.

+1 to front end clunk going slow over residential speed bumps. Did sway bar relocation and everything as instructed. It started immediately after install. Got used to sound so it doesnt bother me too much. Great shocks other than the noise at slow speed bump and fast cosmetic corrosion to aluminum cylinders.

3rd gen stock, no camper shell or crazy armor other than trd skid.

 

oh yeah!!! Let us know how it works out.

 

I saw that as well, and orders the bolts.

I'll report back as well, lmk if it works for you.

 

I wanted to order but it was all sold out on the belmetric site. I was looking into the issue for my 6112s though lol

 

I got under my truck today. I did 2 things, a swaybarectomy and swapped out the lower shock mount bolts.


This is the new bolt vs. old bolt. You can see the step in the top bolt, which is the stock one.



These are the measurements of the stock bolt.



This is the new bolt without the step.

When I removed my stock bolts, I found no signs of movement in the bolt or bushing. I pried the lower shock out of the control arm and checked freeplay with each bolt in the bushing. I didn't see any big variations between the bolts. I installed the new bolts and torqued them to spec. I will drive it around and see if the clunk is still present. I will update later.

 

Staying tuned!

Swaybardectomy.... ROFL. Mine still knocks, sway on or off.

 

After a thorough couple of days of testing, I can confirm the noise is still present. And I can not duplicate it manually, only when there is a fast drop out.
