2nd Gen Eibach Toytec Gallery thread

It has a lean whether its OEM springs or aftermarket. If you can park your truck on a level ground and step back about 20 feet looking at the back of the truck and the drivers side should be just a tad lower. I heard its from the extra weight of the gas tank and some of the drivers side components.

 

Hey thanks! I wil check it out . Much appreciate it !

 

Yeah the Taco lean is just something that bothers some people and others dont even care about it. I'm one of the ones that dont care, haha.

 

Yeah I just took some measrements and it's only 1/8in. or less lower. Not even noticeable. I'am not going to even worry about it. Thanks again for the info!

 

It leans typically more when the tank is full, then add driver.

 

I'll get some nicer pictures next week, but here's my newly installed Eibach coils w/ 4x 5100's @ 0" up front...

Note that none of these are really on level ground, but to give you an idea, the Eibach's gave right around the advertised 1.6" of lift which put the truck only ~0.5" higher in the back with the TSB springs only. So it sits just about level. Love the ride.

 

Looks very nice! This is exactly the look that I want. Did it firm the ride up a little bit? I guess mine would be different anyway because I have an SR5 and you have trd offroad but mine feels a little bit to soft for me right now. I would like a little firmer ride than what it has now.

 

Thanks! Ride definitely feels more stable and what I would call more "solid".

 

Installed yesterday. Eibach 5100 set at .85, .5" top plate spacer both sides and 1/4" on driver side. Toytec 2" add a leaf in the back. LR UCA's. 285 75 16 Duratrack.

I do need some help. Right now measurements are:
Driver front pre lift 20"
Driver front post lift 24.25"
Passenger front pre lift 20.25"
Passenger front post lift 24"
Driver rear pre lift 22.25"
Driver rear post lift 24"
Passenger rear pre lift 22"
Passenger rear post lift 24".

The front is a little high. Did anyone else see this the day after? Will it settle out? It is a little bouncey now. Needs alignment. Tires are really \../.


Going to get alignment tommorow. Do I need to wait to settle, or pull out the spacers? While 4" looks cool, it is too much.

 

I'd take out the spacers, you're sporting some serious "bro lean"

 

It will settle some. I have the same lift except I have the 1 1/2 AAL. I have had it for about 2 months and it sit pretty much dead level maybe a little rake.

 

I think the pic is a little misleading. The driver side has 1/4" and 1/2" spacer on it. Just went and looked at the truck and I cant see it like it looks in the pic. The duratracks fit great with no rubbing. I hate to take the spacer out and then it settles and I start rubbing. I would love to know what to expect for settling. I am a little surprised at how high it is.

 

Did you put in the spacers?

 

when i emailed toytec and asked "can i stack a 1/2 with a 1/4" they said no, put 1/2 on the driver, 1/4 on the passenger.

Drive it for a month or two it will settle out .

 

Does anyone with a double cab have the Eibach's with the 5100's set at 0.85" and have a 0.5" top plate on the driver side with a 0.25" top plate on the passenger side? It's been about a year since install and mine has settled significantly. I'm looking to get back where it was when I first installed it which was a little over 2.75".

BTW, I currently have my 5100's at 0.85" w/ my Eibachs and a 0.25" lean spacer on the drivers side and have settled to about 2.25" of lift.

 

Wow that's a significant amount of settling in a relativly short time span.

 

That's what I thought, I was expecting maybe 0.25" of settling but not near 0.5".

 

Nice pics. I need to get some new ones up of mine with a nice camera. I put on some 3/4" spacers on my sport wheels now. I have set of FJ wheels that I am contemplating running but am unsure about.

I am overall still happy with the ride even in the winter when you notice a stiffer suspension.
