    Austin has the Eibachs and he just took a ride in my truck a couple days ago. Said it was a big difference in ride quality.

    You have OME? He thought yours was better...? How so? Just curious, I've already gone down a path...

    I would assume it keeps it from getting jabbed with rocks and what-not on da trail...

    Damn, cant decide on a setup now. Was thinking OME, but now thinking eibach/billy, or save up for rear billy with dakar and icons up front with UCA's

    Word... I have an All Pro bumper as well as a double cab and it rides pretty stiff. Not exactly night and day between toytech and mine. But enough to not catch air on speed bumps.

    I think if we take our time on the prep and use the adhesion promoter, primer, paint and lots of clearcoat with lots of fine sanding, polishing, buffing and wax it will look great.

    I thought the ToyTec spring was an Eibach spring on a Billy shock with Toytec's own uppers and lowers. Could it just be the spring rate of the Eibach?

    I have the Toytec set up too and it's great. Stiffer yes but IMO the handling is better. This is with a heavy ARB bumper up front and Winch. Mine are cranked up higher then Kappes due to the weight on the front. Less expensive too!

    Pretty sure mine are set the same as yours. Toytec springs if they are eibachs must be a different spring rate, it's a bit smoother than the silver ones.
