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

Thanks Mark, very happy with these springs and will definitely touch em up. I’ll update on here after the next time I go wheeling. So far my experience driving on the street has felt great, exactly how it did stock and that’s without a sway bar, so probably slightly stiffer than stock. It holds up my added weight perfectly, I have a SSO semi steel bumper w/ a winch and a larger battery installed. The spacers were junk, any type of off roading at any speed was very harsh and the driver side spring somehow started to “bow out” after hitting a bad bump hard one day, it started squeaking obnoxiously and never stopped no matter how much I lubricated everything. Was driving me crazy! Doing this got rid of the bend and noise completely, and I can already tell just from driving over speedbumps it’s gonna absorb all the terrain so much better now. Thanks again Eibach, cheers!

 

@TurboFire10 what specifically are you running in the rear? AAL? If so, which brand and model?

 

Supposedly August, but could be October/November.

 

Just ordered an ADS suspension and Deaver leaf pack, so I'm officially out. But of course I'll still lurk in here as this has been a pretty interesting thread.

 

Yes I have the Revtek 1.5” AAL for the rear. That’s been treating me fine, no squeaks or anything.

 

Got the springs installed today. Next is installing the suspension along with my Icon 1.5” AAL and 285/75R16s that I just picked up.

 

Do you have skids and sliders as well? I'm trying to determine if these springs will support the weight I have without any nose dive. Do you have any pics of your truck with these Eibach springs on?

 

I do have the OEM TRD skid and rock sliders. Truck seems level to me but any more weight and it would probably start to droop.

 

It looks like you've got a SSO bumper and a winch. I've got pretty much the same mods as you, minus that, and I feel like I'm probably at the limit of the added weight I should have. If the Eibach springs + AAL got you back to where you want to be with a winch, that's a relief for me, as that's far cheaper than buying a whole new setup.

 

Have folks been seeing 1.5 on a stock truck, or a little more/less? I will be getting my ADO AAL +1.5inches in a week and installing them. I would like to have a little rake or at least be level. Just wondering what people's experiences are. Thanks

 

I did the same thing and called last week. They said end of August for the blocks. I'm calling Monday and cancelling the blocks and just going with the springs only.

 

Yeah, it's the damn centering pin in the block that has an ETA of August. Machine shops are totally slammed with work, including our own.

 

Finally had time to install the new suspension in garage on my back. Not the most fun thing I’ve done. 285s going on this weekend with alignment.

 

Is anyone having to recalibrate the TSS sensor after adding the new springs? I will be installing these springs along with 265/75/16 tires and I'm hoping I don't have to recalibrate.

 

I put around 10 miles on mine yesterday and no light came on. I hope it stays that way.

 

You'll notice he's driving a '21 OR. It's likely he got the suspension from an older Pro take-off

 

Yes sir saw that right after asked. I got excited for a second.

 

Been running the Eibach springs on my 2018 Pro since February. Didn't recalibrate the TSS and haven't had any issues.

 

That's good news. What size tries are you running? How does the ride compare to the stock springs?

 

Looking sweet! How much of a rake do you have with the Icon AAL and Eibach Springs? Do you have any weight in the bed?

My springs should come in next week and I will be adding them to my ADO AAL, that I will be installing this weekend. Excited to see how much rake it will have. ADO says they give 1.5 inches with a 250lb load. Will also be adding 285s and looking a similar look, or even with a bit more rake.
