    Eibach pro lift 2.0 coil over with rear reservoir, body armor hiline bumper, Smittybilt 9500 winch, over land bed rack with Smittybilt gen 2 xl tent.
    Hey everyone I’m new to this forum but have been coming here for tricks and tips on my build off profile. I have a 21 Tacoma sr rwd with lsd. Just doing an overland build to check out some good camp spots off grid and enjoy the ride along the way. Nothing too serious like rock climbing or big mudding. I have a body armor hiline bumper with a smittybilt 9500 winch, hook bed rack with smittybilt gen 2 xl tent, some traction boards, shovel, air compressor for rougher roads when aired down. Currently installed the eibach pro truck coil over 2.0 with rear reservoir shocks. Looking to get some feed back on these as they were supposed to help level truck and bring the front end up from the bumper/ winch weight and be a middle ground from fox/bilstein. I just put them on out of box and the front end is 1.5” higher than the rear. 37.5” front/36” rear with a terrible sag. Slight camber up front as well. Supposed to be supported up to 2.5” on the uca but I’m not seeing that after installing. Talked to a specialist and said I might need a 1.5” add a leaf added to the rear to help get the rake so when the weight is added it will level with out comprising ride like the rear lift blocks would. Any ideas how to get this to set level at 2.5” lift out of bow to match the rear with out sagging ? Hard to find info retaining to this specific question on here. Only came across how it rides and what they’re running . Etc. I figured these would’ve helped level and support but not I’m kinda disappointed at first install and hoping to fix this issue before I decide to return in my 30 days. Any ideas.?

    Take a look here on TW for Deaver expedition springs and over landing experience.
    If they look like what you need, I have a pair with only 1000 miles I could sell. I didn’t lift front and it was a little too tall in back for my shocks.

    what’s size are they? I think my eibach 2R only give clearance for up to 1.7-2” but I’ll have to double check that.

    I have Bilstein 5160.
    Accutune Off Road sold them to me and they build a bunch of Tacos. They said I was ok, but sure would fix me up with their Fox 2.5 they could tune to any use level needed.
    Apparently, with empty bed times, I was risking about 1/4 in travel on 5160.
