    Here it is on a 3rd gen Taco Pro. You can see the part#. I know it's a 13" spring, but not sure of the spring rate. I'm guessing 600#. You could prob get away with a set of Icon 13" 650# springs if you have some weight in front.

    Thanks! I've been on that thread, before there were any real results, I thought people were still just complaining. I'll post on that thread, unless anyone has a quick answer about ride quality (other than its great)

    The website says it lifts the truck 1.3", but is that before/after the original trd pro lift? If it's over stock lift, then why are uca's not required?

    You can get away without new UCAs if you don't lift too much.

    That picture @Texoma posted is of my truck. I'm also running 1/4" top-plate spaces which shouldn't affect the ride. Aside from sliders and full aluminum skids, I don't really have any extra weight up front.

    I'd say the ride is very similar to stock (just higher...). Rear is sooo much better than my worn out leafs with the new Icon RXT pack and Durobumps ubolt flip kit. Huge upgrade overall. Alignment is now complete and I should have my new 285s on this week.

    That's awesome man! Have you taken it into the dirt yet? Also please keep me posted about the tires. I'd like to see if there's any rubbing, with or without flex.

    Would you be able to take pictures of your cv's when you get a chance? I'd like to see the angle on the ground.

    Did you keep the stock rear shocks with the icon leafs? Seems like it would be restricting.

    Good to know. Icons are only 30#'s more and would probably work well with an SSO front bumper and winch.

    Pretty sure my Eibach springs with the pro kit are 700#. I have a SSO full bumper and the front end didn't budge.

    No dirt yet but plenty of speed bumps around town. Feels much better all around. I expect some rubbing and to have to deal with heating up some plastic (OEM front bumper) or have to play a bit with caster (I already have a CMC).

    CVs looked almost the same as before, doubt you'd get anything out of some pics.

    Rear shocks are still OEM pros. Only as restricting as the droop on the stock stuff. Might upgrade to fancy aftermarket stuff in the long run.

    I really appreciate the info. I really don't want to to the cmc, so I was considering some 265/75/16 ko2's and just an aal, But if the rxt's make that much of a difference I'll go that route, granted it's still a new truck.

    How close do the stock tires get to the uca's?

    So we installed the 2020 Eibach springs made specifically for the Pro shocks onto 2020 Pro fox shocks and the top hats are sitting at a crazy angle. Tilted. I’m sure they are assembled properly. Is this normal? Does it settle? Should I attempt to install them like this?

    Really confused since I thought these springs were made specifically for the 2020-2021 fox shocks. Now I am second guessing - did I get the part numbers wrong?

    Fox shocks are: ptr61-35201
    Eibach springs are: E30-82-069-03-22

    Looks like they weren't assembled correctly.

    Yeah those are half put together right. You need to make sure the spring fits into the rubber isolator correctly.

    But what you should do first is verify you have the right springs for the job. Take a picture of your new springs with the old springs. Compare the top and bottoms of the springs as there are 2 version of the pro suspension and thus 2 version of the eibach springs.

    They are definitely the right Springs. They match the ones taken off the shocks exactly. I oversaw the assembly, and all of the parts are assembled in the proper order and sequence. The rubber damper between the spring and the top hat has small little debits from the old springs, which we also lined up with the new springs. So again… Everything seemed fine and was assemble correctly, but this is how it looks.

    I’m 100% sure they were assembled exactly how they were disassembled.

    Can you take a further back picture of your shocks?

    It looks like you have the new version springs on the old version struts.
