i have the pro truck RHA shocks and springs all around and love them. they used my truck for 4th gen testing so i had them installed at eibach by eibach techs. i had XREAS in there before and it seemed fine... until i ripped it out and replaced everything. it all rides so well on the street and on the trails. they are basically 5100 clones but nicer looking, better QA, better parts, machining, manufacturing, valving, etc. do it!

Thanks so much for the insight and vouch, Grave! Would you mind posting some photos of your ride?

Yes pics please. Curious on looks.

any pics, Grave?

I just ordered this kit directly from Eibach, along with the 1/4 spacer for Driver's Side front from Wheelers.

Will update once installed.

uppp

anyone with install pics or info on this setup?

i had my lift done in stages as i was a tester 4th gen for eibach. first they put on all new shocks all around, +0" in the back, leveled in the front (2", i believe). took a bunch of measurements and had me come back a few weeks later after they dialed in the springs. this kit is basically a much nicer copy of 5100s with OME springs.

not the best iphone photos, but here you are.

stock with terrible XREAS:




with RHA shocks, stock shitty springs:



and here's how it sits now with the toytec I MEAN EIBACH springs.




i love it. i have 3" of lift and don't do anything where i'd need more than that. i don't think i'll ever want to drop the cash on kings or icons or anything, i only wish the springs were rated for a bit more because loaded up for a long road trip and it was sagging a little in the back...

This is very timely for me!

Glad to see how they turned out - I was looking at this kit yesterday as I need to refresh the suspension on my 4th gen this fall.

Dollars to donuts, looks like it'll be a good bet.

do it!

Just out of curiosity, what makes the Eibach dampers better than 5100?

I didn't see much information published... are they monotube?

You cant really go wrong with Eibach as they make springs for most of the coilover companies out there, but the thing that threw me off was that the rear was only a 1" lift which would result in a rear level rake. I would get with standard 2-3" lift coils in the rear.

thanks for those pics grave!

i understand the toytec ultimate uses the same eibach springs.

you have the actual eibach pro truck lift though? the lift looks nice and I think I am going this route with mine...is your hatch fully loaded down in that pic with the sag? that actually looks like a bit more sag than i was hoping for for camping gear and whatnot. i dont carry a ton or weight out back - just a small tote with tools etc and i camp sometimes too. i dont fully load down like in your pic every weekend, but a few times a year and snowboarding too so im not sure if this will impact my decision or not. im sure the road manners are comfy and respectable offroad too. vs the OME kit that people often describe as stiff on road...

ya eibach makes toytec's springs.

and i was pretty loaded up in that photo. the iphone makes the sag look worse than it really was, tho. on-road manners are great. mine's riding kinda shitty rn tho because all of my sway bar end links need replacing so it's been a while since it was riding smoooooth

yes, monotube. if we're splitting hairs, they are pretty much the same shock. eibach's are valved differently and they are hand made in the goddam USA.

Grave - what height did you go up front? I just had mine installed (love it) at 3/2”. How close are your UCA’s from the spring? I kept stock but they’re mighty close.
