Eibach needs a stock TRD PRO in SoCal
Let the front spring development begin! I'm kick starting this project for you guys myself.
I need your stock 2018+ Pro for a full day to measure in the next few weeks. Once the prototypes are complete I'll bring it back in and leave a set on your rig for free.
Who's in?

Ryan is good people. that said, if Eibach is going to put their name on this setup for us FOX guys, they are going to do it right. Getting the engineering right will take some time and then some "beta testing".
While I would love this new spring set to be ready for Christmas...I can wait until it is "correct" and if that takes until next spring, so be it.:cheers:

I was told it would be another 10 weeks or so. I just hope there are both longer and stronger spring options.

I’d be interested as well for my 19 pro. Want something that will net 2/1 or 2/1.5 vs stock. I’m new to this so I don’t completely understand pros and cons of these springs (specs TBD) vs Cornfed spacer kits.
I’m staying tuned here. I think I can live with stock heights for a few more months but I’m getting eager to make a change.

Hey Fellas,
I posted in the other thread that I need a stock PRO fix Fox shocks to get a couple measurements. Gets you free korean bbq and a set of springs when they are complete. Can somebody local swing by?

Hey Ryan a little off topic, but do you know if the TRD fox shocks have different perch settings? I have a set of fully assembled TRD fox shocks, but I am scared to take them apart in order to find out...
If you want I can leave the shocks with you, if it gets me a set of coils later? I live here in San Clemente, not too far. I'd leave my rig with you, but I have a TEP w/ KDSS, so not really what you are looking for.

From the Eibach Lift thread:

To ensure the Fox shocks really work to their true capability we're only going to be able to lift the front about 1.8". This would make the front and rear level, which looks great on a PRO. Also, if you like the factory rake, you could always add our 1" rear spring.
No UCA needed.
Thoughts?

They only have one setting.

Pricing TBD, but they will not be expensive at all, and a much better solution than spacers.

Ryan,
thanks for all your help, will be waiting for the part number on these springs. Almost pulled the trigger on the spacers but didn't rally want to go that route, forgot to check your other thread for your updates. Any ETA on release date?
|

This is great news Ryan! Let us know the pricing and release date :).

Thank you for the reply.
Is this 1.8 inch Taller than a stock TRD pro, so essentially 2.8 inches taller than stock SR5?
Availability?

No. This is 1.8" of lift on a PRO.

Thanks Ryan. To clarify (and I think what the other poster’s question is), these springs will lift a Pro 1.8 additional inches, bringing the total lift to ~2.8” compared to a stock SR5. Correct?
If so, I know a lot of guys with a 3” front lift are running aftermarket upper control arms to be able to get their castor in spec, and many of them are also dropping their front diff. However, I don’t know if the control arms on the Fox outfitted Pro are already different than the other trim level trucks.
I really would like a set of these springs as I’ve had Eibach drop springs in the past and have liked them a lot... but If it’s going to come along with a new rabbit hole I’m not so sure.

I know exactly what he’s asking and I’m trying not to answer it and confuse everybody. There’s just no reason to compare it to non-PRO. You’re already getting worried about arms because of it even though I said upper arms are not needed ;)
Everything you are concerned about is checked during our R&D process. If you need arms, diff drop, etc etc it will absolutely be mentioned waaaaay in advance. For 1.8” of lift it’s not necessary.
Hope that helps

Thank you Ryan, that does help.
In my experience Eibach has always been a stand-up company with great products, and I appreciate your willingness to engage with customers/enthusiasts as part of your process.

Please hurry up and take my money! I'd like to keep the factory rake, I think the truck needs that caster up front to not wander and tramline on the freeway so much.
I'll do the 1.8 up front and 1 in the rear please!

“I’m trying not to answer” From Ryan to me.
He admitted to avoiding a question, I replied to him. End of story. No insults are needed.

You misread, it’s 2.8 total over a stock SR5. The pro is already an inch taller. Thess coils are exclusively for pros. Giving them a 1.8 inch increase ( 2.8 inches Total taller than stock)
Edited for clarification

No offense, but you are completely confusing everybody. As I was reading your latest post I took a call from a PRO owner who read it and was confused.
Most of us know what you are getting at, but you just stated "2.8 inches taller than stock". Everybody with a PRO that does not have any mods is going to call it "stock". My post even said "Eibach needs a stock PRO".
Can we get a mod to clean all this up?
Again, the Eibach specific PRO spring upgrade will lift a TRD PRO 1.8". They will not work on a non-PRO.

I think because Toyota modifies them at port and they are pseudo-stock, but I get the confusion.

So 285s should be good to go with the extra 1.8? When can we order.
|
| Ryan at Eibach |
01-14-2020 11:41 AM |
I'll have the first 10 pieces ready in about a week. We'll do a quick day of testing shortly after. If all goes as planned they'll get released for actual production and we'll make 150 kits. At that point they can be ordered and we'll have a good ETA.
|
| MGordo |
01-14-2020 12:19 PM |
Great! Just let us know when the order can be placed.
Make any difference with ordering throught the local retailer vs direct? Guessing the product wouldnt be listed in the catalogue yet.

You'll be able to order from any Eibach dealer, but nobody will have these in their catalog until they actually hit stock here at Eibach.

Are there any pictures floating around with these front spring changes, either 1" or 1.8" on the TRD Pro?
|
| DallasTRDPro |
02-08-2020 04:51 PM |
Subbed. I planned on staying stock and adding some 265 KO2's, but with this development I might go with these and go to 285's especially if no other mods are needed like CA's. This will also alter my roof rack plans.
