If you read my ENTIRE post...you would have maybe realized i didnt mention EIBACH!!!! I purchase a kit from Wheelers....was told mid January....then early to mid Febfuary....then read on here from a member...the end of February.
I guess its a made MTO world today....
Its not right that you pay for something in full n dont recieve it for 2 months !!!!!!!
I left Wheeler know how i felt !!....they stated if i refund my money it will cause a delay in shipping...so i left it go (knowing i didnt need a delay because my Xreas is leaking pretty bad)

Is anyone running this lift kit as something closer to 2" in the front using the stock springs? I'm hesitant to lift all the way to 2.75".
And I probably already know the answer to this... but has anyone found a store that has the kit in stock right now?

I agree. It is totally not right. Credit card should be charged when the order is ready to go. Unfortunately, it is very common in the aftermarket industry to charge way in advance. Small fabricators explain this in terms of their economics and they do have a point.
A retail outlet, however, has no excuse for charging in full for an item they neither produce, nor store.
In fact, I wonder how many retailers even see most of the stuff they sell. I guess most of these places merely collect orders that are fulfilled directly by the manufacturer who ships to the customer. In other words, they are not useful at all, just a middlemen that does some "marketing" but really just collects money basically for nothing.

After tons of research, I've noticed that most photos, if not nearly all, are taken very soon after install, which is understandable because of the excitement. Anyone have any photos (or measurements) after some miles and settling?
I'm most curious because years ago, I installed a lift on a jeep, and the rear looked way higher than the front (not expecting that from this kit), but let me tell you, it did not settle one bit.

Good point. In my experience Eibach springs are spot on from the time of install. I assume my 6112 springs (I have had both the standard and the 650) are both made by Eibach as is my rear 1" spring. All three provided lift expected for the weight and none of the three sets had to settle, at least not more than 1/8, nothing that can be easily measured.
By contrast, I tried a Dobinsons front spring which was also excellent but did experience big time settling within the first 50-80 miles.

I ordered the 400# Rear Leveling kit and Pro Truck Lift for the front. Almost 2 months later it just arrived today. SWEEEEEET, INSTALL THIS WEEKEND!
HOLD ON... NOPE. There's no wrench or anything that came with it to turn the adjustable spring perch. And the instructions don't mention how to adjust it... Isn't there a spanner wrench or something that was supposed to come with this to actually adjust the adjustable kit?

Anybody order the kit recently and hear what the current lead times are for the kits on the 5th Gen? Just placed my order earlier this week from a local shop.
Thanks!

Just in case anybody is wondering the same thing in my previous post (right above this lol), I purchased through a local shop and just checked with them. They said it should be ready for pick up mid to late next week. Will be about 2 weeks total for order/pickup.

I placed an order for this kit from ToyTec. They estimated a 2 week wait time as well.

FYI:
See post #2110. I took that photo 2000 miles after install of the complete Eibach Kit.
Eibach Pro-Truck Lift System (Stage 1) for 2010+ 4Runner (E80-82-071-01-22)
Yesterday, I decided to raise up one perch. I used the no spring compressor method to remove/replace the shocks from the truck. Super easy. The first side took 2 hours- being very cautious... the next side took 30 minutes. (Had i known how simple that was, i never would have had the fronts pre-assembled)
These pics are at 3800 miles after initial install(one day after raising the front perch)
Pics attached.
Depending on where i park it... it appears to be level or even a slight forward rake...
I like the "look" of this setting, however, putting a level on the sliders... there is a slight negative rake.
