Anyone running the Eibach stage 2.0 coilovers?

Thank you! That’s what I was hoping it’s to the bottom and not that red looking sticker. That’s what I’m looking for is about a 2.5 inch in front and 1.25 in the back.

 

Thanks! Okay what lubricate do you recommend? Yeah that sucks I have to pay for another but to get right, then it’s worth it.

 

Do you have a side shot of your truck as it sits? I'm curious how high the front is compared to the rear.

As far as adjusting them, you can take the wheel off just to make it easier to get in there, but not required.
You should definitely unload each corner before adjusting the collar though. You can use any good anti-seize to lube the threads.
You'll need a spanner wrench to turn the collar.
Check out this video for a better idea of how to do it.

Yeah I was watching this before was like shit does he just measure from the sticker or that small lip there. here you go for the side shot.

This one is only minutes after getting back from the shop.


Here it is after a couple of weeks.


I feel sometimes when I look at it in my driveway its higher than what it really is. Could be me just being paranoid.

 

Did you adjust it?

 

Looks fine to me, nothing out of the ordinary. Not sure why you have so much more thread showing than the other setups on here.
Without before and after measurements at the fenders its hard to say if you're too high or just right.

 

I haven’t yet. Luckily I don’t drive it as much with working from home.

 

Yeah it looks fine for me. But I’m not sure either. I tried to compare what others had on here. I’ll have to check those measurements tomorrow and I’ll post it here.

 

Here is the measure from the center of the wheel to the fender.

driver side:


Passenger side:

 

I measured mine from the bottom lip of the wheel, then subtracted the radius of the wheels width lip to lip.

Basically mine measure 33.33" from the bottom of the wheel lip to the fender. The wheel edge to edge measures 18.5". So Im currently at about 24.1", making your lift about 1" higher than mine. Mines right around 2-2.5" so I'd guess yours to be 3".

 

ah okay. so actually it seems that its slightly higher doing it what you did.
so the stock trd offroad wheels are 19.5 width and halved that which is 9.75 and the bottom lip to the fender was 35 - 35.25.
so the total driverside is 25.25 and passenger side is 25.5.

 

My primary concerns if your truck were mine, would be the ride quality, which is subjective. If you like it then no issue there, if not Im sure lowering it some would help with that amount of lift.

The other would be the CV angles. I'd get a diff drop just to cover that concern.

 

yeah that was what was concerning to me at first, that why i wanted to see what others said about their ride quality. I know its a new thing and i knew i would be sacrificing some ride quality. It just puzzles me before is that I had Bilstein's on my tacoma with about 2.5 inch lift in the front and i didnt feel every little thing driving on flat roads. so i was concerned a little.

Plus the shop i used kinda screwed me over so im super paranoid on everything right now. like i just now got correct working tpms sensors back in it due to them telling me they needed changed for the newer tires and them giving me the wrong ones and then fighting with them on who gets the bill to replace them with the right ones.

yeah i do have a drop diff installed and carrier bearing installed that i did myself.

 

Installed mine this past weekend with a buddy. Kept the fronts the same as they were out of the box. Added .5" shims to each side. +2 shackles on the back. Ended up around 2-2.25" in the front, and 1.25 in the back. We didn't measure before putting on. Only compared mine with a buddy who has a 2019 that he put an Eibach 3/1 on. Like it a lot. Rides great. Noticeable improvement. It doesn't pull, vibrate, or wobble, but I'm still getting an alignment tomorrow. 275/70 Coopers will go on Friday.

 

Nice!! Looks really good! You wouldn’t happen to have any measurements of the threads while installed do you? Maybe that I can set it back to there and just add a .5 to it.

 

Stock from Eibach, 3.25” of exposed threads.

 

Thank you so much!!

 

Thanks and sorry for the delayed response. Mine came from the factory set at 3 3/8”. I did not adjust any. Only added shims

 

Hopefully this is helpful, I couldn't find a ton of info on these when I was researching options.

Just installed the Stage 2 coilovers and rear shocks with +1 coachbuilder shackles. 2016 Limited Off Road, blue and yellow Bilsteins with 75,000 miles. I was not really looking for a lot of lift, just better performance on rough roads. 275/70R18 tires that have been on the truck for about 5,000 miles. Really wanted to go with the Falcon tow/haul set up but those are not available till the spring and I have a couple of trips coming up so I went with Eibach. I backed them down a bit so I got about 1.5" of lift on the front.

I am impressed, particularly with the damping. You hit a bump, the suspension reacts, and then you are back to normal - no more bouncing/floating down the road compared to stock (they did have 75,000 miles on them though). Hit a couple of gravel roads near the house and I can comfortably run 10-15 mph faster. Braking performance is much improved, no more nose dive and bouncing around under hard braking - the truck stays level and stops. Probably a combo of shocks and shackles but the bed now follows what the rest of the truck is doing rather than bouncing all over the place, this is what I am most impressed by.

I had no rubbing on stock suspension but I had to bend my skidplate after install.

Anyway, I think it is a great option for $1500 or so. I'm likely only going to have this truck for a couple of years so didn't want to dump a ton of money into it but I am happy.

 

not sure why the picture posted twice...

 

Getting my Eibach 2.0 coilovers installed today. Mine measure at 3 3/8 preset on exposed threads. Hopefully will work out good with my +3 Coachbuilder shackles.

 

I went from the center of the hub to bottom of fender before and it was 22 inches. After install it was 24 inches so two inches of lift. Don’t have after photos since it was already dark. Below is before photo.

 

Did you use shims? Any lean?

 

Negative on shims. I can adjust them up and down and have plenty of height. Haven’t had a chance to measure both sides but if there is a lean I can make the adjustment myself with the included tool. I can’t believe how smooth the ride is. No regrets and glad I didn’t wait for the never in stock Bilstiens.

 

Got some photos of truck on both sides after the install. Two inches of lift on both sides in the front. Coilovers were adjusted to compensate for the Tundra lean. I can’t even explain how smooth these ride. Well worth the money.
Before:
After:

 

How are these are quicker bumps? The only thing about the stock suspension that bothers me. We have a lot of roads here where the concrete is like slabs so it’s can get pretty bouncy.

 

I have eibach protruck 2.0, not installed yet and have not opened the package. Are you coilovers side specific, driver/passenger or can they be used in either location?

 

Not side specific, but they do have an arrow to specify which side faces the wheel.

 

Not side specific. Just remember to raise the left side to account for the lean, if you have the driver's side lean that is.
Its a 2:1 ratio, so if your driver's side is 1/2" lower then raise that side 1/4" to even it out.
