Eibach pro lift kit

What notch are you on?

 

Nope not at all I'm on 1st notch, I run 265/75/16 and 255/80/17. You can experience it being harsh if on 2/3 notch if no added weight.

 

Hoping to install this weekend my Eibach Stage 1 with HS 1.5 Lift 3 Leaf AAL.

 

When do these kits normally go on sale again?

Last time I bought one for I think $505usd

 

That was like 2 years ago. Most of them are ranging between $700-$800

 

That $505 was a fantastic deal.... so I assume $505 is long gone. I need another kit.

 

Well decided to sell my stage 1 cuz of life and stuff

I have a stage one, I’m a fan thus far.

 

I’ve had mine for over 2 years. It’s been a great setup.

 

I went with the Eibach stage 1 clip on the bottom, 1inch block on rear, zero offset vision wheels with 285/75/16 Mickey Thompson and I have zero rubbing.

 

Annnndddd now I know what wheels I can aim for lol. Still rocking 31.7’s

 

After 18 months of it sitting in my shop, finally got around to putting this kit on. 1st notch. Only netted an additional 1.5” of lift from floor to fender, measured from centerline of wheel hub. Was 35.5 before on sides, 37” even after. 2020 DCLB SR5. No lean spacer- I actually have it and forgot to put it in but don’t care at this point. Drove it and heard bad noises. Looked up the skid plate and saw the issue. The stupid sway relocate kit is useless, at least on my truck. The entire bar was laying across the cross members above the skid plate. Removed relocate blocks and ran it as is. Nonissue now. If you get this kit and it has the relocate blocks, don’t put your skid plate back on until your done everything. I’ll do the Deaver AAL and rear shocks sometime this week and get it aligned.

 

Finished the rear with a Deaver single AAL. Fairly happy with how it sits now. Time will tell

 

What size tires are those? Did you retry the sway bar relocate?

 

265/75/16, OEM wheels. Spidertrax 1.25” spacers.

There’s nothing to retry with the relocate kit- it only goes on one way… and it makes the sway rest completely on the members that run perpendicular to it. If the struts were in the second or third clip, it may not hit as much but the second you articulated the right way, it would knock. I have no plans to put it on, it’s not needed.

 

i think my is a tad rough due to me being lighter than most (4cy/2wd) but nothing crazy. If i added a winch bumper or some other form of weight over the front id probably be without anyform of harshness.

on another note, anyone’s rear shocks come from eibach without boots? Starting to notice these kits have them now. Get some road salt sometimes, wondering if i should be like buying offbrand boots or something lol

 

mine came with boots. Got my kit about a year and half ago. You can order some universal boots off Amazon and throw them on. Should fit fine.

Also, my kit rides perfectly smooth. Stiffer than OEM, but it’s as stiff as the truck should have come from Toyota in my opinion

 

Initially installed the Eibach setup on the first notch (also included the taco lean spacer on the driver side) - liked how it complemented the Icon RXT leafpack lift. Drive it around that evening and noticed it settled some, wasn't happy as it was about a 1.5" raise. Took it apart and set the perches on the second notch and then up to the alignment shop a few days later. From ground to front fender is now 38 - 1/4", rear fender is 39 - 3/4"(With Icon RXT leafpacks). Stock is 35 - 5/16". Tire size is 275/65/18 (so basically went up one size in diameter). It rides firm, yet smoothish but wasn't about to settle for a 1.5" lift with the rear leafpacks giving a 2-3/8" lift. Contemplating on installing spacers to achieve a 1" lift and setting the perches back to the first notch, otherwise might sell and get the Eibach fully adjustable coilover setup.

 

Hey y’all

can someone give me an idea of these snap ring adjustments?

There doesn’t appear to be documentation, that I can find, from Eibach that details the height adjustments While using their springs.

Basically, I’m trying to figure out which snap ring placement, or notch, would be the optimal lift size. When they say “level with rear” I’m puzzled. Their documentation makes it appear it’ll be a 2” lift. I’m totally lost on what notch I need to be on lol.


Bonus question… is the stock measurement, center hub to fender, 21” front 22” rear?

thanks for any help!

 

Are you running OEM springs? Or Eibach?
