    I have eibach stage 2 on but haven't brought the rear up any....

    I need the rear end to come up just a tad..... Couldn't find an answer.... I trust Eibach stuff (among others) but was wondering if the Eibach 1" block is tapered? Asking because they don't look like it... If not, how do they ride... Seems most are tapered to tackle driveshaft/CB alignment etc.

    I want to just add a block for very minimal lift in the rear so I can adjust my front end and be done.

    What's you guys experience with the Eibach rear 1" block - Thanks!

    PS I dont want an AAL or new leaf pack at the moment.

    Never seen tapered 1" block, usually 1.5 and up. 1" is perfectly fine.

    They are not tapered. I installed a set for a customer a few weeks ago. You don't need a taper with 1".

    That said, I still installed the carrier bearing spacer just to help ease the angles a bit.

    1" blocks under leaf springs are basically no consequences, the TRD factory lift doesnt have a taper or a carrier drop. It rides exactly the same.

    Basically a block is a block. 1” will probably be solid aluminum.

    I installed a 1” block on my ‘21 TRDOR, instant vibrations at/around 30mph.
    Tired every variation of shim and or carrier drop, no luck.
    Blocks out, 1.5” AAL in and no vibes whatsoever.
    That’s been my experience… each to his own

    The Eibach 1" block is not tapered. The ride is indistinguishable from factory. You will be fine installing them...

    I have been running mine for almost a year now, with no issues.

    As everyone else has said, 1 inch block is ok. I have the eibach 1 inch block in the back and lifted trd pro springs up front. Ride is perfect.

    Low range off-road offers a 1 inch taper block.
