Eibach Pro-truck lift - Page 2 - Toyota 4Runner Forum

I think lifting with 200 miles on the odometer is a terrible idea...
Nvm, I dont. I think its the best idea, do it while everything is new, everything can stay new together. And dont have to worry about rust and having the install be a pain.

Side note, I have that Eibach kit on sale right now.

I’ve been debating this kit as well. Waiting on more reviews and pictures to see how it looks.

Na man, I waited a year to put this kit on and I regret not doing it sooner... that said, I can understand not wanting to rip apart a shiny new truck! Congrats

I feel as though it rides better then stock. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about 5100 feeling stiff, and I get none of that. I have 500 miles on it now and the front seems to have settled a bit. I also haven’t tested them much off pavement yet.

Day of install:

After settling (posing next to @Terra Firma with his Icon Stage II):

So far, I would highly suggest if you’re looking for a good ride, slight lift & level. You only need what comes in the kit, no diff drop or anything else.

Thanks for the info and pics! It looks great! Did you net the 2.75 lift in the front after it settled?

I would guess it got very close to the spec that Eibach gives. Here’s a couple “unofficial” measurements up front. It looks to be 2.25” hub to fender increase, but the way I measured could easily have .5” wiggle room.

Before:

After:

Just a side note, the front struts have adjustable preload notches similar to the 5100. Mine are set on the lowest perch. It’s the coil that does the lifting.

How’s the frame rake? With the advertised 2.75 front and 1 In back seems like you would get some reverse rake?

I thought that too, as did a Wheelers sales rep. I contacted the manufacturer to double check, they claimed "it would be level". Like i said previously, i haven't made the settled measurements, but to the eye, everything appears level.

Can u measure front and back when u get a chance?

Very interested in settled measurements (and more pics) when time allows! I have a '15 SR5P and am getting ready to jump on either the Bilstein 5100s all the way around or this Eibach Pro Lift. Like others, vendor measurements concern me re: reverse rake. I tow a 3000 lb boat all summer which is currently no problem. As soon as the truck/boat is loaded with people and gear, sag occurs. I want to correct that - not add to it with the Eibach set up. Thanks for these posts, guys. I'm addicted and learning a ton!
