I have benefited from many of you as I decided on a route for suspension. I thought I would share my experience as everyone's configuration and use scenario is different. This is more of a shock review than lift. In my case, I stayed with stock tire size (265 KO2 C on TRD SEMA wheels). In terms of additional weight, I have Al RCI skids from engine through transfer case (no fuel skid) and RSG sliders.

I am initially focused on armor, sliders and tires as I don't intend on a larger lift for some time. I was looking for rake reduction and more importantly better handling on and off road with shocks capable of accommodating a future lift. I have driven 200k miles combined on 5100s in a 2003 T4R and a 2006 Tundra. No complaints, but I was encouraged by Eibach reviews reporting more compliance on initial impacts through valving. I installed Eibach Pro Truck Sport shocks front and rear, fronts at + 0.8" with OEM SR5 springs all around.

I have put 600 miles of mixed highway driving on the Eibachs including two-lane mountain roads. No off-road miles as of yet. Too much snow. My expectations were modest. Results are better than expected. My vehicle is easier and more comfortable to drive, period. They are less harsh than the Bilsteins. Body roll and nose dive are less severe (compared to stock) and stability through corners and over road imperfections has improved.

I also think it is important to note variables. Mine is a 2019 with 6000 miles that had wheels and tires changed at 900 miles without a fresh alignment and has been through a season of off-roading last summer. While I didn't notice anything suggesting alignment issues prior to the shock swap, a good alignment (which was done after shock swap) can make a difference in terms of drivability, possibly affecting before and after perceptions.

Thanks to Ryan for consultation and smooth order fulfillment.

Pics please, thanks

I haven't taken any. I will try to get some tomorrow and follow up with a post.

Patiently waiting for the pricing.

Great to hear and thanks for the feedback.

Who's got a PRO with some weight on the front end?

I will in July . SSO bumper with high clearance going on. 2017 Pro (Currently have RSG Sliders and Gobi Rack)

2019 With a Victory 4x4 aluminum Blitz bumper and a Smittybuilt 12K winch.
Weighed about 100 pounds total, wiring and all. Less the weight of the factory "bumper".
Front end currently still has all stock suspension components.

I called you guys about a week ago and I asked about red coils but the guy said there were no plans.
Will you have red coils for the pro kit soon? I really want to go with a red coil.

Thanks

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe the red coils are only for the FOX Pro suspension.

Ah, maybe you’re right. I saw "red coils" and got excited.

Only for the PRO

We were back ordered a couple weeks. 125 more kits just hit the shelves.

Ordered the Eibach 1" rear coils to lift and stiffen up my rear a bit on my Pro. Ryan took my info over the phone this afternoon and will be shipping them tomorrow. Super easy. Hopefully they come by Saturday and see if I can get it over to GAS to install them as well as my new wheels.

Thanks again, Ryan.

Anytime!

Who's wheelin this weekend?
