Eibach pro lift kit

Yes, overload left in. In my opinion, it’s the perfect feeling ride. But I thought the OE TRD OR suspension was more like a car.

 

Good day for me. Looks like jumping over to Tire Rack on the 15th was a good move. Just got tracking confirmation that the kit was shipped out today as well as my ECGS order

Also went to Auto Zone yesterday and rented all the tools needed; macpherson spring compressor, ball joint press x2 (for AAL) and race set (for ECGS Install). Will be installing likely next weekend!

 

Don't know if I'm brave enough to do the spring compressor... may try and get a local shop to put that together.

I've got a lot of garage maintenance to do this weekend but should be giving the install a go next wknd!

 

I have done countless suspension installs and used the compressors and never had any issues or scary moments. They have locking pins on them that grab the spring and as long as you can lock the pin, you shouldn't worry too much as long as you are careful. I don't know about the Tacoma front struts, but most springs just need to be compressed an inch or so before you can remove the top hats.

Align the compressors up evenly on either side of the spring and set the struts down on the ground and tighten the compressors going back and forth, making sure not to tighten either side too much more than the other. I usually place my foot on top of the strut/spring and lean over to tighten. When you have play between the spring and top hat, the struts piston nut can then be removed with an impact. DO NOT REMOVE NUT IF YOU HAVE NOT COMPRESSED SPRINGS FULLY TO ALLOW FOR THIS PLAY BETWEEN SPRING AND TOP HAT!!!

 

Wheeler’s just called me and said my kit is in stock and is shipping monday!

 

How long was the wait with Wheelers?

 

i ordered in the beginning of Feb. think it was like Feb 4th or something like that

 

Just installed and trying the pic thing again..

 

My Tacoma arrives in May and trying to get everything ordered. I want this look. Did you do the CMC?

 

CMC?

 

Looks good. I’m guessing those are the stock 265/70 16 on it? That’s pretty much the exact amount I want, but I have the 265/75 so hopefully it’ll work out just right.

Oh, CMC is the cab mount chop. Helps with rubbing, especially it you try to get up to and over the 33” mark.

 

265/75/16’s with very slight contact on right front tire when cranked to the right and backing up when rolling out of my driveway. I also have after market UCA’s I installed at time of lift last weekend.

 

I also have no intention of going any bigger than the 265/75/16’s. Don’t want to re-gear.

 

Nice! I think it looks good with our size tires, plus, rubbing sucks. I’m sure I’ll end up doing all the required trimming at some point and go to 285’s, but my tires are literally new as of a few weeks ago.

Let’s us know your thoughts on the ride too. Did you go with an add a leaf?

 

All installed. The pics I took look like I got the bro lean, but actually I have .5” of rake in back, which I wanted.

all measurements taken from center of hub to fender.

Pre lift measurements: RF-20 3/4”, RR-21 1/2, LF-20 1/2”, LR-21 3/4”.

post measurements: RF-23 1/4”, RR-233/4”, LF-23 1/4”, LR-23 3/4”.

installed at middle ring setting, along with Eibach kit, I installed Tuff CountryUCA’s. Better feeling than stock. The bolts that are installed thru theUCA’svare a mutha to get out. 1/4” driver side spacer, 2” Wulf AAL, and 2degree tapered shims in rear to offsetrear lift. No vibes detected. Feels great. Oh, and almost forgot to mention 1 1/4”wheel spacers. Alignment was great.

 

Damn, beat me. Lol

 

On a side note so my problems don't happen again for some other good Samaritan. Don't order any parts from rogue offroad they are scam company. They will take your money and never send items or respond back to you. Super right now

 

Ha what don’t say that, I’m currently waiting on an order I placed Monday. Tracking says it’ll get here tomorrow...what happened to your shipment?

 

They have no communication from my initial order for a whole month and have the most ridiculous cancelling fee. I should have looked on the BBB first, actually same thing Happening to me as others.

 

I ordered these today, do they include sway bar relocation?
