    That 90 degree AN fitting looks awfully close to the shock mount cup, but I suppose it's fine. I wish Eibach did an extended reservoir hose line like the Bilstein 5160's.

    Question for those in the know about Eibachs. I did the Pro Truck Lift (stage 1) on my 2020 2WD TRD-OR. At the time, I passed on the rear lift block to level it out but now want to add it to make it just that little bit level with the front. I don't go offroading or tow anything..... It's basically a daily driver that goes to easily accessible places to hunt/fish and camp. I hear nightmares about blocks and some are telling me to add a leaf instead. With my minimal lift, and basically no towing or off-roading, is adding a leaf still the preferred setup over an eibach block?

    I have a 2020 and did the same lift. The front rides a tad bit (1-inch) higher than the rear. I had mine installed at Eibach and they asked if I wanted the rear lift block. I passed at the time but am now considering it since I kind of want to see the rear match the front. It isn't a huge differnce but it's more of a personal thing for me.

    personally I would run a aal, but a 1" block should be okay. I have ran a 1.5" aal before and had swapped it out to a full leaf pack after adding on my hard shell.

    Ya.... my truck is going to stay as is.... Nothing of significance will be added. Since I have no mechanical skills, I am having a shop aad the block and it's relatively cheap compared to an AAL. Thank you for your input.

    I have the 1" block. It will be seemless, you will not know it's there. There will absolutely no issues running it.

    I would personally not go higher than a 1.5" block to reduce spring wrap.

    I would also never install an Add a Leaf. These will sag over time. ( prepare for the AAL fan boys :crapstorm: )

    I plan to replace my spring pack for a full 2" rear lift, I would like the factory rake back.

    Question for you guys, can I rock a 275/75 R16 with this lift without a cmc? Wanting to keep the OEM wheels for now and just throw on some slightly bigger tires. Dont see many people keep the trd off road wheels.

    How is the ride with the Eibachs and headstrong AAL? I’m thinking about doing a similar setup with my 2nd gen.

    Overall I like the Eibachs. They are much more controlled and the truck does not bounce anymore. I can say it is not as soft, which in most cases I like better. For instance going over speed bumps is better because the rebound is more controlled. But going over a lot of small bumps is rougher and you feel them more now. The real AAL defiantly helps and I feel compliments the front.

    I just installed the Eibach pro lift with Headstrong 3-leaf AAL (left in overload) on my 2016 Sport 2WD and it is awesome!!!! Bought it all from Headstrong. I got slightly over 2 inches all the way around. It’ll probably settle to just under or right at 2 inches. I’m running 255/75R17 (32”) on stock rims. As my daughter told me, “Now it looks like a real truck and not a baby truck.”

    I bought mine from Wheelers as well. My experience with them wasn't great but it ended up working out. I did a 1" block in the rear which has been fine, but I have since purchased Icon RXTs for the back. (not yet installed)
    I think the truck will sit slightly nose high without the rear done

    Does anyone here who is on the 2nd clip setting go off road often? I'd like to hear your thoughts. I'm concerned with a lack of sufficient down travel.

    Like, so many.
    I actually did AAL and a block. I do off road. The block has been a non issue.
