Eibach Pro Truck Lift Stage 1

I am gonna purchase these coilovers next week. Any pics? What setting did you do? Any other info I may need?
Thanks in advance

 

I have mine on the second clip setting with the Eibach springs. I never measured it, but it’s in the 2.75” range, maybe 3”. My alignment guy got it aligned with factory UCA. I’m happy with them. They’re an upgrade over factory shock performance.

 

Thanks
I'm buying the kit with the springs.
Im gonna buy directly from Eibach.

 

Bump hopefully for pics! I’m ordering this kit soon as well.

 

Ordered on Monday. The guy I talked to was very informative and helpful on the kit. Something I thought was cool is he said the have a complete lifetime warranty. For instance, If a shock leaks you just send them pics of it and they will send it to you without shipping back and fourth.
I will post pics of before and after. It will probably be in a couple weeks before I get to installing.

 

I have this set and contemplated installing it today but wasn't 100% on the clip location. Downloaded the pdf instructions and one says 3rd or 4th groove for the 2-2.5 inch (ish) lift range but the other set of instructions says bottom groove for 2.5 and 2nd for 3"......is this for with OEM spring vs with the included Eibach spring that came in the kit I ordered?

 

I’m calling today to sort this out.

The instructions on the product page say with Eibach springs the bottom clip is 2” and the second clip is 3”. It says the top clip shouldn’t be used. But apparently a bunch of guys have seen that the bottom clip is 2.5”.

I’ll let you know what I find out!

 

I think I just figured it out actually.

The stage 1 kit for 2000-2006 has instructions that’s say they bottom clip is 2.5”.

The instructions for the 2007-2015 says 2” on bottom.

And the instructions for the 2016-2021 say 2.5” on bottom.

What a mess.

 

I am scheduled to let a local trusted shop do it next week and align it right away.

 

I just had them installed at the 1st groove. With the Eibach coils I would say just over 2". Didn't remember to make a before/after measurement but the front is sitting 1/2 to 1/4 inch higher than the rear. Figuring it will settle to level.

 

Just FYI, I went with eibach stuff from toytec on a previous tundra and they were very inconsistent on the lift heights. May want to contact toytec and ask for David. He can explain

 

Finally got my coilovers put on. Couldn't be happier. With 275 70 Cooper Rugged Treks
The ride is the same or better than stock. I put the matching shocks on the rear which ride noticeably better than stock.
Before:


After with stock tires:


With 2757018 Rugged Treks

 

truck looks sick! how's the ride so far? any complaints?

 

No it rides good. No complaints. The rugged treks are even quiter

 

sweeeeeeeet. hope to upgrade sometime soon to a similar setup.

 

Looking to use the same coilovers on my 19 trd off road, thanks for your input!

 

@NorcalHntr - Still pleased with the set up and tires? I have the same lift coming in this week, and will be looking for new tires and like the look of your rig, so Rugged Treks have moved to the top of my list.

 

With the Eibach spring, bottom grove is about 2”, second groove (middle) is about 2.75”, top groove is not advised unless you have a heavy ass bumper and winch.

 

I still love my set up the rugged treks are great imo. They hum a little but not too much. Way less than St Maxx I had on my Silverado. I just drove in heavy rain yesterday towing my duck boat and they performed well.
The suspension is definitely a little stiffer on the street but I dont notice the potholes as much. Ive only put about 2k on the tires.

 

Keep us posted on how they do in the snow.

 

Definitely will prob wont see snow for a few months

 

Love how it sits.
Like a Tundra+ without being lifted.

 

Here’s my truck with the Toytec/Eibach lift, 1.5 shackles in the rear and 275/70R18 Rugged Treks.

 

@jonclark96 - Your truck looks Great! Are you on stock or Eibach coils? What setting on the shocks?

I'm considering installing the Eibach shocks with stock coils to 1.9in setting, then adding RAS to rear suspension to help when towing my 7000lb Travel Trailer. Already have Sumo Springs (black one's) and Equalizer WDH, but feel I need to stiffen things up on the rear when towing.

 

I got the coils from Toytec. They are the Eibachs on the first clip according to the Toytec website. I got a little more than the 2.5 inches advertised.

 

Did you order directly from Eibach? Warranty exchange sounds like a breeze. I wonder if ordering from a vendor is more hassle?

 

I ordered directly from eibach it was basically the same price
