Eibach PRO-TRUCK COILOVER STAGE 2 On Sale. Edit-Sale is OVER.

Eibach is based in CA. Soooo.....

 

@OnespeedTRD has his on, they looked level with the rear. I remember reading that Eibach presets them to be level. I purchased .25" top plate spacer to hopefully have 2.5" of lift without adding any additional preload or affecting the droop/compression that Eibach has them set to.

Motion ration on our trucks is 2:1, so every adjustment made at the shock collar will result in 2x the amount of lift or drop. IE. if you raise the collar by .25" it will lift the truck .5".

 

I ordered the full stage 2 set. Might be the difference. I got my fedex tracking nunber and delivery date for friday.

 

Very well could be! I’m not in any real hurry. In the end I’m really just happy to have a product like this available that fits so squarely in the middle ground between budget and quality.

 

Just chiming in here with my experience with the Stage 2 kit. I was originally going with the 6112/5160 kit late last year but just got tired of waiting so in looking at other similar options I came across the Eibach kit. There wasn't much out there for the Tundra specifically, but lots of good reviews on other platforms, and I've used Eibach stuff in lots of cars over the years, so figured I'd give them a shot. Very happy with the results so far... on road the ride is far better than stock, firm but not harsh. Off-road they handle great as well. Most I've done is forest service roads around the Cascades, and hooning around the beaches, nothing crazy, but for that I've been impressed with the suspension. Its a quality kit and well worth the cost.

Installer at the dealership knew about the Tundra lean and adjusted the driver's side up slightly to get it level side to side, which was great, and a real benefit of the coilovers over the semi-adjustable types w/shims. As @Elduder mentioned, they come preset to level. The person I spoke with at Eibach a while back said they used the TRD Pro as the benchmark for the stance. I sit pretty much dead level visually, with about 3/4" of rake. I just ordered some +1 Coachbuilder shackles, so after I install those I'll probably raise the front another ~1/3-1/2" to end up with an approx. 1" rake.

For visual reference...

 

This sale ends next week. I can’t remember if the guy said Tuesday or Thursday

 

Got mine in today!

 

Pictures or it didn’t happen!

 

Rears are installed already! Forgot to zip tie the rubber boots however. They're a little loose. Waiting on CB shim to install fronts.

 

Ordered on the 4th... still haven’t even gotten confirmation that they’ve shipped yet.

I’m not in a hurry.... but I am excited.

 

Can you feel the difference between the eibachs and stock shocks? Also @Elduder did you ever install your set? What do you think of them? With the sale going, I’m thinking of sticking with eibach instead of going with the falcons.

 

Not yet, waiting on some +2 CB shackles. I have the +3s currently but I’ll be selling them once I get the +2s.

 

Hadn't gotten to really tell. Only took a short drive to pick up dinner last night. Interested to see how they soak up some railroad tracks tomorrow evening. They are WAY stronger than the stock black shocks. Those can easily be compressed by hand. These I could compress if I put my body weight into them. Ended up using a ratchet strap to compress them for install.

 

That sounds promising. I’m looking for a firmer shock than stock. I’ve got the yellow/blue trd shocks, which I imagine are pretty spongy. I purchased a used set of the stock hitachi shocks/struts in case I went with the falcons and needed the stock front springs, and they are definitely soft. The eibachs are very appealing. As long as they’re firmer than stock, I’m in.

 

Same here, did you get the emails of invoice etc though?

 

I did. Receipt on the 2nd, confirmation email on the 5th, then and email saying they were processing the order on the 7th. Nothing since then!

 

Just purchased my set. To @Elduder and everyone else, I appreciate all the info.

 

Anyone know how long the sale lasts?

 

4/16

 

Has anyone received any further correspondence from eibach about updated status or shipping?

 

Status update!!!! Just received my confirm tracking number and shipment update from Eibach 3:00pm Eastern. Super stoked!! Thanks for the heads up post.

 

Just ordered the stage 2 set. Not sure what I’m gonna do for the rear yet. But at least I’ve got some time to think about it.

 

I'd suggest some Coachbuilder +1 shackles (or +2 depending on how high you go in the front). They pair well with the Eibach shocks.
I'm on that setup now and its great.

 

Any pics or specs of your setup. My goal is to run 35x12.5x20 toyo at3’s. So probably at the taller end of the eibach setup. I know I will need to make a bunch of mods to make this happen...not my first rodeo though. Truck is stock now. Have a cap and decked bed storage coming and will mostly haul hunting gear and dogs in the bed. No heavy trailers, maybe competition ski boat a few times a year but not that important.

 

Here's how my truck sits now. Eibach coilovers up front set at 2", Eibach Pro Truck rear shocks and Coachbuilder +1 shackles.
Tires are 275/70/18 Coopers, just over 33", on +25 wheels.
If you went 2.75" on the front with a 1/4" shim for a total of about 3.25", and a +3 shackle on the rear I think you'd be there.

 

This may be a stupid question, but where does the ziptie go on the rear shocks? Does it go on the bottom of the rubber boot?

 

personally I’d throw it in the trash along with the rubber boot. Haha

 

It you decide to use it and not throw it in the trash then it goes on the top of the boot to secure it to the shock body. The bottom has a little groove that the boot sits in.

 

I saw the groove, but didnt have confidence the boot would stay in place. Although that was when I was fighting to get (and keep) them compressed. I prefer to keep them on the shock. May throw a zip tie on top and bottom to play it safe.

 

Couldn't hurt. I pushed the boot down as low on the shock body as possible and put the zip-tie pretty tight and its stayed put so far. If you go too far up then at full extension I could see it popping off the bottom.
