Rear Suspension options

Hi All, I own a 2020 SR5 DC and I’m looking to swap the front Struts to the Eibach Sport Leveling struts set to either 1.8 or 2.5 inches.

I’d say the Truck is used 80% unloaded, 10% on forest roads, and 10% towing a 26 foot camper (7-8k loaded) or 21 foot aluminum fishing boat.

I’d like to avoid having a nose high stance if possible and I’m considering the Icon AAL or RAS. Just looking for some pro’s and cons of each setup or other recommendations.

 

Yep, did the same thing. Eibach Pro truck out of the box is set for 2 inch lift...the fully assembled, threaded adjustable units.
I didnt want AAL or lift shackles for rear due to the concessions with those so went with heavy duty RAS (Active suspension). It will lift 1-1.5 inches depending on adjustment and compliments the spring rate of the Eibach coilovers. Helps support the factory weak leafs, so adds some rake back and does not squat as much when hauling/towing and does not hurt the ride unloaded like an AAL.

You will probably need a carrier bearing drop when lifting the rear at all. Ive been very happy with the eibach setup and RAS does everything they say it does, both are cost effective too and a major improvement over stock.

 

I appreciate the reply! RAS is what I’m leaning towards. I’m happy to hear that ride quality didn’t suffer too much and I’ll look into the carrier bearing drop.

 

I have the exact same set up as frichco228 and love it. I have an are topper with roof rack and love the way it rides and drives.
