Anyone have the Eibach TRD-PRO-LIFT on their Pro?

Easy enough to just switch out a set of springs. Looks like a better option than Wescott in terms of ride comfort?

 

I emailed them a list of questions before I commit to buy. I'll share my findings when I hear back.

 

I have the Eibach PRO spring set inbound and hope to install next week.....will share pics once installed. Adding UCA and rear track bar to ensure alignment will be good....

 

@SnowToy

Did you get the 2.5"/1" kit? I measured my current height and that would make the truck nose-high. I assume some settling, but it wouldn't settle enough to level. I'm thinking the 1.5"/1" would be closer?

Also, why the new UCAs? Eibach says the OEMs are fine.

 

I did get the 2.5/1 springs - and agreed that it may make the nose a bit high... will toss in a spacer in the rear if needed...

I did the UCA's and rear bar as I'll eventually replace this setup with a set of adjustable Kings and Dob rear springs.... then sell the TRD Pro plus Springs and yota UCA as a full setup.

I just needed to get the truck lifted quickly for the 37's inbound...Kings are out a month plus for shipping I gather. and will do brake lines, Kings rear swaybar links and some other stuff....

Hope to have the interim setup sorted out by next weekend..have a batch of biz travel to take the rig on...

 

sigh...i was looking at this, but the nose up is a deal breaker for me. I tow periodically so I rather have a level truck or rear slightly higher unloaded. Nose high is just weird. Their kit says it levels the truck, i guess false advertising? Appreciate the review. This was helpful in my decision making.

 

They offer a 1-1/2" front lift spring as well FYI.

 

I'll post pics hopefully next week once the kit is on and the 37's/ SCS's mounted....

 

I ordered the 1.5" front, 1" rear lift springs last night to take advantage of the 15% off sale. I measured my truck and the 2.5" front springs would make my truck WAY nose high, even after 1/2" settling. I think the 1.5" will be pretty close to level after settling.

Now, just to find someone who can compress the springs to remove/install them on the struts. My local dealer won't touch them because he says their compressor is "dangerous" and Toyota told them to stop using it.

I’ve been using this tool. Works well

 

I got the Maddox coil spring compressor kit from Harbor Freight a while back for doing something on my Tacoma and they worked fine but they sketch me out no matter the brand. Most of the chain auto parts stores will loan you one. FYI the Maddox one is on sale right now for like 33% off with the HF coupon.

 

Talked to my buddy who is a Tech at Toyota, he also says he won't touch it and he's usually pretty good in modding my vehicles.

 

Yep, I'm running into a lot of "no's"......guess I'll be sending them back for a refund.

 

I’ll be compressing my set this weekend.

 

Let us know how it goes. I HATE doing suspension work because you usually have to bang on shit with a hammer and the cheapo spring compressors fuck up the powdercoat. The springs and UCA's are just too pretty to mess up. There's too much to go wrong - in my rookie experience anyway.

 

When I had to compress the springs to move the spring seat on the Bilsteins on my 2022 Tacoma I wrapped the hooks of the compressor throuougl with electrical tape and didn't scratch anything.

 

Also wrapped the clamps with tape. I removed the red old coils without any visible damage.

 

I'm having the local mod friendly stealership do my set later next week along with UCA and brakelines...and the needed spacers for swaybar and skidplate.

 

Wasn’t aware spacers were needed for sway bar and skid plate

 

Which "mod-friendly" dealership is this? And are you still passing through here to pick up your FREE cat shield?

 

1.5” assembled

 

Left 1.5”
Right 2.5”

 

Very nice! Now get them on the truck and let's see it!!!

 

Thats a few weeks out still

 

Booooooo

 

Dilemma is 1.5” or 2.5” fronts?

 

If your truck sits like mine....2.5" with the 1" rear would make it extremely nose-high. Even the 1.5" may be a tad nose-high after settling.

 

I’m leaning towards 1.5 and see

 

I did the 2.5" s based on plans for a front bumper and winch....

 

I finally found someone able to compress the springs to install them for me. Set appointment for next Saturday.
