Eibach Pro Lift - Installed

gitacotrd · Feb 5, 2019

@prickly_goo any updates to ride? I plan on attempting the install myself on Friday (found a dif leak after a month a way from my truck need that corrected first).

Got a quote 350 plus whatever alignment cost to install but after watching videos it seems easy enough.

Nice! Looks good but 285s on 17s would look better with that tall of a lift, IMO

This is exactly how I envision my truck to look

How are the eibach springs keeping up?
Would you still recommend them?
Anything you dislike about them?
How do they handle on the highway and Offroad??

Curious where you got your roll bar..

Curious as to how you payed sub 800 for a set of 4 lol. I want a full size spare so right now I'm 1000+ for wheels.

Finally got the Eibach kit installed. Only put about 500 highway miles on it so far, so still feeling it out.

The Setup
From Wheelers Off-Road:
-Eibach Pro Truck Lift Kit
-Wheelers 2” AAL
-Differential Drop Kit
-Carrier bearing drop (not installed)
-1/4” top plate spacer (for “taco lean”)
$689 shipped

From 4Wheel Parts:
-Method NV Bronze Wheels
$666 shipped

From Discount Tire Direct:
-Falken Wildpeaks 265 75 16 (116 load index)
$435 shipped

At Desert Rat Albuquerque, NM:
$529 (install all parts, tires mounted and balanced, alignment retorque bolts)

First impressions:
Ride is a tiny bit stiffer. Could have to do with the larger 265s, (up from stock 245s). Still very smooth ride. Could be a much smoother ride I’m told, if I had the clips on front struts set one notch lower. Installed at highest setting.

Mpgs took a slight dive, but think that has more to do with the Tacomas super shifty transmission and bigger tires.

See chart below for measurements at pinch weld and fender before and after. After measurements were taken with 265s installed.

Even going with the 2” aal in rear, and measurements telling me otherwise, the rear seems to be sitting lower than front. Could be my eyes playing tricks on me though. Thinking of lowering front one notch if it’s not too big of a hassle to get closer to level.
I did not install the rear carrier bearing drop. There is no vibration coming from the rear but this may change if I drop the front one notch.

I topped off the job with bronze method wheels on falken wildpeaks.

This set up meets my needs: mostly on road but occasional off roading on mostly developed trails/roads.

Can’t believe I even thought of a spacer lift when I first bought the truck. I was naive to suspension at the time. A little research and patience led me to this set up. I’m happy with it and it didn’t cost me multiple thousands of dollars.

See attached chart for lift heights and pics.

I could not have completed this modest build without this forum. Thanks! Shout out to Josh at @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc and @koceguera at Eibach for their advice and help with parts. I’d recommend Wheelers Off-Road if your gonna go with this or any other set up. Super helpful there. Josh was very responsive and answered all my questions. Also got a great deal on tires at Discount Tire Direct.

Let me know what you all think.

Is this the AAL you bought? Or was it a 3 leaf AAL?
