2nd Gen Eibach Toytec Gallery thread

Which side settled? or was a it a overall settling on both sides of the truck?

 

That looks extremely tall. Have you checked your spring cups to make sure they are installed correctly and on the .85" setting?

 

Yeah, they are at the .85 setting ( second from the bottom). I did notice the spring is not all the way seated in the cup. I had a shop put them together for me. I figure this will eventually work its way down. I know it doesnt look like much, but I think it may be 1/2" when it settles. I tried to turn it, but those Eibachs are strong.

 

^ That spring cup is upside down

 

Holy shit! you are right. No wonder it is so fucking high! I guess I know what I will be doing tommorow!

 

LOL. Yup, I had a feeling it was when I looked at your pics. Now we know for sure.

 

good catch!

 

Thanks! It is amazing the help you get on this damn money sucking site.

 

No problem dude. Your C/V's will thank us both lol

 

Subbing!

 

It was overall, the truck sits pretty level side to side.

 

I talked to Toytec today. They said "stacking the spacers was ok and thats why they sell them with that kit. I got the spring cups turned the right way. New numbers are:

Driver front pre lift 20"
Driver front post lift 23"
Passenger front pre lift 20.25"
Passenger front post lift 23.5"
Driver rear pre lift 22.25"
Driver rear post lift 24"
Passenger rear pre lift 22"
Passenger rear post lift 24".

I got it aligned and it drives great. I had read everybody say it is "better than stock". With your spring cups upside down and almost 5" of lift, it drives like a pile of shit! Now I can say, It drives better than stock. It is firm and handles good. Hard to describe, but feel tighter. I do have a little rubbing now with the 285's. I took off the mud flaps and it doesnt hit now but probably will when wheelin. Oh well it looks great! Pic is kinda shitty.

 

Looks good!

 

Looks good

 

Looks great! Those 285 really fill up the wheel wells nicely.

 

Yup, they are not rubbing now at full lock either way. I am sure when I get them offroad there will be more trimming that needs to be done. I really like the way they look and ride. I am also happy with the noise. A lot quieter then I expected. I am blown away with the new suspension. Big improvement over stock.

 

Yes the 1/2 spacer on both sides with the additional 1/4 on the driver to get rid of the taco lean.

 

I did the same. I called Toytec and they said it was ok. You happy with it?

 

Yes I love it. The ride is great and sits exactly how i wanted it to. Just trying to decide on tires I really want 285's but at the same time the 265's would save my gas and power.

 

I am a little surprised on the power. I notice a little loss, but I expected something drastic and it is not. I havent had them long enough to say on the mpg.
