Eibach pro lift kit

did you ever end up getting this kit?

 

do you have any side shots?

 

Not yet. Unfortunately tire time came a little sooner than I thought it would. Getting them later this week or first of next.

 

Any idea why it says it excludes TRD PRO models?

 

i just checked the eibach website and the stage 1 kit is out of stock. anyone know when the kit will be available again?

 

How much did the CB drop, ECGS bushing, and diff drop run you??

 

I talked to Eibach today about the stage 2 kit. I was told it would be 2 weeks. So I ordered up the stage 2 kit and the 1 inch block for the rear from one of the Canadian distributors.

( the block will be October. Which is fine. I am expecting my new wheels in the next week and will purchase new tire to install everything for the spring. If I can wait that long )

 

oh nice ill try give them a call tomorrow and find out about the stage 1 kit.

 

I'm not sure any of those things were necessary?

 

just spoke to one of the guys at Eibach and he said that the eibach pro kit would be around October 15th that it will be instock.

 

how the heck do you move notches? do you just pry it off and move it?

I recently installed a hybrid front bumper and now I can notice a significant amount of rake sitting on the last notch.

going to move it up to the 2nd notch this next weekend and hope everything sits nice again.

 

You need to compress the spring to change the clip. Unless you have the right tooling this is a job left to a shop.

 

I understand that, I didn't think I had to be detailed about the process of it.

but yes, once the springs are compressed and the shock is removed.

how do you remove the clip to move to another notch?
I looked all over YouTube and I see it referenced multiple times but never seen anyone actually do it.
do you just use a flathead screwdriver and pry it off and move it to the next notch?

thanks.

 

Sorry, this is the internet, you just never know. And again sorry, I have not worked on these adjustable kits. Looking on the instructions page on Eibach's website, it appears to be a clip that can be moved with a screw driver or a pick.

 

Pretty much. Once you have the coil compressed or it removed be patient and use a small flathead, getting under one edge of the clip. Slowly and carefully walk the clip out of the snap ring grove as your going around. It will pop out of the grove. MAKE SURE you remove it in the direction of the new grove that you want. Don’t go the other way you’ll have todo it all over again. Once it’s in the new grove make sure it’s seated completely.

It’s pretty easy, then reinstall/decompress the coil and put back on the truck.

 

I only did the ECGS (222k) and because I had the front apart todo wheel bears and all new control arm bushing anyways. I would suggest doing it. It’s a much nicer bushing that the crappy needle bearing.

It was suggested not todo a CB or Diff drop until after only if it vibrates or has issues. This is the first week after the lift (second notch) and no issues. Save money and time. I also have the ECGS removal tool I’m putting up for sale soon if interested.

 

So I'm at about 6 months now with the Eibach Pro kit, SPC UCA's & 285 Falkens & it's feeling great. To be honest it felt way too rough for awhile most likely from stiff sidewalls on the new tires but now is feeling much better. Has more a rebound feel now & seems like the suspension is loosened up but still planted to the ground.

If I knew about the Pro Kit 2.0 I might have gone that route for a few $$$ more but I accomplished what I wanted to do for this stage in my trucks life of daily driving & occasional off road. Later when I have more miles on & it's paid off I'll go hack the fenders up & go with some taller tires but for now I'm good with what I got

 

been running the Eibach lift for a lil over 6 months now. 2nd notch up front and a 2” block at the back. Is it just me or is it really stiff? Lol i thought it will settle after a few thousand km of driving but its still the same as the day i first got them haha how long does these things usually break in?

 

Nice taco but it looks like you got too much lift. Can you post a pic of your cv boots?

 

Snap ring pliers would be the proper tool for the job ATMO.
