Taco PRO Owners: Interested in a spring upgrade for front?

Jinx!

 

Here is the template email I created that folks can use to send to Eibach regarding the 2016-2019 springs. You fill in the blue sections. Tried to make it as simple as possible for folks:

email: sales@eibach.com

Subject Line: 2016-2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro upgraded springs availability?

email body:
Hello,

I understand that Eibach is working on a spring upgrade for the 2016-2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro trucks and will come available after the 2020 springs, which are different from the 2016-2019, are rolled into production. I specifically have a <YYYY> Tacoma TRD Pro. I am extremely interested in this upcoming product offering from Eibach. Do you have a projection of when the 2016-2019 springs will be available for purchase?

Thank you,
<your name here>

 

I know your intentions are good, but if sales gets a bunch of emails in the same format, they will start to think of them as spam and ignore them. Eibach has people in this thread, they know we want the springs. Sending spam emails probably wont make corona go away and allow them to speed up making the springs. They are based in CA, so pretty sure they are getting even more lock downs that will slow them down... and on a corona related note, this is eibach headquarters address... 264 Mariah Cir, Corona, CA 92879

 

@mark@eibach please advise whether the email request approach will help Eibach in understanding the interest level for the 2016-2019 springs or not.

 

It was my understanding that Mark said we need to contact Vendors, the Manufacturer and anybody else out there to show the demand. I'm not going to go looking for where Mark said it but he did say if there is a demand it should speed up production. I do some what agree with the "same format emails" not being the best idea. Almost like me making my 5yr old son write Santa Claus a letter instead of copying and pasting from the net. (No offense @perkj) We all want springs and I would really rather do Springs than the Wescott even though Wescott has proven to do a fine job. My 2 cents.

 

A+ FOR EFFORT! Thank you for taking the time and making an effort to rally the troops.

I just had our engineering manager looking over my shoulder at this and he reiterated that we are aware of the demand for this one. The test fit has happened, prototypes are currently in production (grinding to be exact) which will take about another week or so to complete. Test fit / performance evaluation of the kit will be January once we return from the holiday. After final test fit we're approximately 8-10 weeks in production, but possibly sooner depending on material availability. I know it doesn't feel like it, but we fast-tracked this 16-19 spring solution based off your demand and it hasn't slowed down yet. Thanks for your patience! @5nahalf is right, so let's hope for some healthier days ahead of us!

 

@mark@eibach you the man!

 

Subbed. In for a set of 16-19 springs.

 

Hey mark. Just found this thread, sorry to make you repeat something that has been said I’m sure. How much lift will these springs give the fox shocks?

 

Just sent the email i tweaked it to make it more personal and added a badass shot of my rig of course ! but thanks !!!

 

@mark@eibach can we get a status update on the '20 springs too?

I was gonna wait until it had been 8 weeks, but since you're here...

 

I believe it was 1.25 inches or so

20 springs will probably have the same timeline are the 17-19 springs. But my guess is that when they have both sets of springs done and they will release them together to avoid people getting confused about the difference between the 2 models (people seeing 20+ and thinking it will fit their 17-19, or the other way around) Or people seeing 20+ and assuming they wont make a 17-19 spring and move on to something else.

 

1.25" is what I am remembering as well.

 

+1

 

The update is a few posts above. I know it says they fast tracked the 16-19 springs and dont mention 20 springs, but keep in mind that 20 springs have already been made, tested, and are just waiting for production to start. So chances are we will get both sets around the same time.

 

Can someone tell me the height difference between the front and rear fenders on a '20 pro? These could give a rear rake bias?

 

I measured a used 2020 with 1000 miles on it on a dealers lot recently and got a 1 1/2" difference front to back. 21.5" hub to fender front, 23" hub to fender rear. Kind of scratching my head on that one.

 

Need these springs for my ‘19 Pro. Subbed and patiently waiting.

 

Me too. Welcome to the forum Nick!

 

This definitely interests me as well. I'm doing a C4 hybrid bumper with a Smittybuilt X20 up front and a Victory Strike II in the rear. I suspect the weight will pull her down a little.
