    I finally got my new suspension installed on my 2021 Tundra.

    Eibach Pro Truck 2.0 in the front, set at 2.5", and Bilstein 5160's in the rear. I also had the TRD rear sway bar installed.

    Alignment came back great, and so far I like the ride, however I have only driven it about 50 miles since the install. Last thing I am installing is the Roadmaster Active Suspension in the rear, when I get it.

    I did buy a CB 3+ shackle, but decided not to install it.

    Measurements were taken from the ground to the fender.

    Measurements BEFORE:
    Front Driver-36"
    Front Pass-36.5"

    Rear Driver-39"
    Rear Pass-39.5"

    Measurements AFTER:
    Front Drivere-38"
    Front Pass-38.75"

    Rear Driver-39"
    Rear Pass-39.5"

    TOP Photo is BEFORE, Bottom Photo is AFTER. The photo makes it hard to see the difference, but there is.Photo Dec 27, 9 00 17 AM.jpg Photo Dec 30, 10 54 31 AM.jpg

    Nice, I have the Pro Truck 2.0, adjustable coilovers and rear shocks and the HD RAS system sitting in my living room right now.

    Why did you go with 5160s in rear vs the matching rear shocks?

    Too many, but not enough....
    I have this exact combo waiting a couple weeks to install. I will be putting on the rear +3s though. I also have a 1/4 and 2 1/8 inch shims to go with it. How's the ride?

    Originally I was going with Bilstein 6112's in the front and the 5160s in the rear. I gave up waiting for the 6112s as they are backordered until Spring. I already had the 5160s when I changed to the Eibachs on the front, so just went with it.

    Yep, it is a great combo. Not as nice as Lunar Rock, but a close second :)

    So far the ride is great, but I only have about 75 miles on it. I think you will love the combo.
