Eibach 5th Gen 2.0 Coilover Kit

[mark@eibach]

Figure I'll ask you [MENTION=277772]mark@eibach[/MENTION] while you're around...

I'm carrying roughly 200 lbs everyday. close to 400 when I travel. I drive a 80/20. Will the 250 be overkill?

Thanks in advance!

I think 250 is the sweet spot, and I would personally go with that option for your scenario.

So has anyone received the fancy "milled aluminum spanner"?

Having been pleased with the 1.0's on my 4R, I bought the 2.0 coilovers for my F150, and finally after more than month waiting got the new spanner- but it is steel with a welded on pin of the proper size.

Seems to me the curve of the spanner should match the diameter of the preload adjuster part. It does not.

Haven't gottten around to installing yet, going to be very displeased if the latest spanner won't turn the adjusters.

The billet wrench will be available for purchase in May.

I too bought this setup and did receive a spanner wrench. Shop had listed that it wasn’t included but was. I bought 1” rear springs also. Rear shocks showed up late but there was no mention that they were on back order when bought. It was only like a week later and I installed with rear tires on, sitting on the ground no big deal. Definitely rides better, rear shocks definitely firmer than stock. Front coils out of the box had to be almost 3” lift. Got the front end of the ground, removed tires and adjusted easy enough. Can’t compare much came from the Jeep world.

FYI, I was able to adjust mine without removing the tires. Jack up the front, turn wheel to one side and adjust. It takes a bit effort to get it moving, but once you get a feel it's not too bad.

I've got KDSS so they're plenty of room to get to the adjusting ring.

Hey Mark,


Thanks for the reply. I spoke with Tanner a couple weeks ago and he took care of me. He also helped me with a set of rear shocks that never showed up from the place I ordered.

As far as ride height, you might want to check into this before you recommend out of the box being "level". I've got a 3 month old TRD ORP with kdss. Installed on front with 1.2" of thread showing below adjusting ring. The only weight I have is a set of sliders. My front end was MUCH higher than back. I stopped at 6 turns down from that and my front was 1/4 to 1/2" higher in front. I left it like this hoping for a little settling. Meanwhile a week later the pro rear shocks came in. They're MUCH harder to compress than stock ones. They actually slightly lifted my rear, so at half tank everything is as close to level as I can get it. I've got both fronts set the same and it only leans depends on how much gas I have in the tank.

BTW, no one really mentions ride quality. I've gone from all stock, to Eibach front only, to Eibachs all around. It's rides considerably better on the Eibachs. Haven't done much offroad yet, but on road they've firmer handling yet softer over bumps. There's a road I test ride on with 4 speed bumps in a row. Hitting them at 10-20-30-40mph is a night and day difference.

For what it’s worth, this was my experience as well. Installed the front 2.0’s with the rear stock as I was waiting for the Eibach’s load leveling kit to get back in stock. Out of the box the fronts were WAY too high and needed to be backed down to about six threads showing to be approximately level. If only doing the fronts, my suggestion would be to start there before installing.

I also echo the comments regarding ride quality. Road manners greatly improved despite the added height. No more body lean and nose dive. Great off road as well.

[MENTION=277772]mark@eibach[/MENTION] so stoked for this week. will the initial release be available at all vendors? or just eibach?

 

[icyhotahs]

Received yesterday [MENTION=277772]mark@eibach[/MENTION]... and installed yesterday. Little stiff on my end, and still working measurements out. Look for it to sit at 2" with running 200lb/static. I set it at 26mm and am pretty happy!

Finally joining the club and will be doing my first mod to my 5th Gen with the 2.0 coilovers and the rear leveling kit. Shout out to Tanner at Eibach for setting me up. Eibach was out of stock like everyone else for the fronts and rears load leveling kit. I found that Stage 3 Motorsports had the fronts in stock and I got those 4 days after ordering. Eibach had the rear shocks in stock and I got them 2 days after ordering. FedEx tracking says my rear leveling kit left Eibach 4/7 and I am expecting it tomorrow. I’m exciting and will post pics as soon as I get it all installed.

Same here on the 2.0 and agree with everyone, out of the box they're almost at 3" but I had no idea initially and cranked them another inch! Needless to say, the down travel was definitely maxed out so we dialed it back in to 2.75"
Ride quality is better than the original Bilstein TRD PRO I had in there. Here is the video:

Lucky GUY ! I ordered my kit from Stage3 and still haven't received my rears!

 

[patkelly4370]

I've been eyeballing this for front and rear on my 17 SR5.
Bought it with 1½" spacers on top of the coilover in front giving me, I think, 2½" lift.
The truck is level so I'm assuming there's spacers in back too.
I want to remove the spacers and replace with a correct suspension.
My main question is planning for aftermarket bumpers in the future. 250 lb coils in the rear with less preload for now?
I'd like to keep the current ride height I have now.

I was in the same boat. I'd give up on Stage 3 if I were you. I gave it a few weeks, told different "reasons" every time I finally got a reply. Impossible to get anyone on the phone. Takes some time to get your money back too. Good luck, I feel for you.

I didn't realize how many horrible reviews they had until I looked around. Seems like many of these online sellers will take your money even if something isn't in stock.

Mark, good morning.
I have a 2012 4runner limited running the Eibach pro truck lift kit1.0. I want to upgrade to the 2.0 coil overs and the height adjustable rears.

My question is what if anything in the rear is the same? Or do I need a whole new set up there too?
I have about 100#s I carry in rear and am looking to get a roof rack and low pro front bumper/winch at some point.
What do you suggest?
Thank you,
Dave

PS: Isn’t there a discount code for T4R members?

Nice! I'll pass this along to Tanner. I wish this wasn't how you had to work the system, but these days, you just have to get it wherever you can find inventory. We're doing our best to keep up with demand and get you guys product as quickly as possible. We are looking at this DAILY and doing our best to provide answers and customer support wherever we can.

The 250lb rear spring is a great balance of rate and comfort with a range of adjustment that works in your weight range. You're on the right track.

The load leveling system in the rear uses a different spring, but the same rear shock. So you could remove all the front and sell that and the rear lift spring separately, or remove the entire kit and do the Stage 2 with Load Leveling which includes rear shocks. My thought is that you'll get the most back in the used market with a complete kit rather than a kit missing the rear shocks. If you can wait until the end of the year, our Resi rear shocks will be available.

Well I spoke to soon and the last shipment of the rear load leveling kit didn’t arrive and FedEx said it may be lost and I need to follow up with Eibach to file the claim. Hopefully this works out and the kit isn’t back ordered again... (scheduled delivery was Friday 4/9, package left the facility on 4/7 and is 6 hours from where I live, based on the other Eibach items I’ve gotten it usually take me only 1-2 days for delivery)

So, when is the 3.0... three inch plus, hit the market? Currently on the Pro 1.0, looking hard at the adjustable rears, but would like a fully adjustable 3" set up. Just saying.

Hi Mark, most other lifts require a spacer for KDSS trucks to correct the KDSS lean caused by a lift. I did not see any mention of KDSS on the Eibach 2.0 kit—what should we do?

I’ve kdss and I left both front coilovers set to the same. I adjust for level with half tank of gas. You’ll always have some lean depending on fuel, load or passengers. Parking on the slightest slope will give a different measurement as well. Get it close. Get it aligned. And drive it.

I actually see now that the place I ordered from has a note in the listing.

“Spanner Wrench not currently included: this kit does not currently come with a spanner wrench. Eibach is in the process of redesigning their 2.0 spanner wrench, though we do not currently have an ETA.”

That explains why one wasn’t included. I may end up trying to make one myself.

Saker.....Picture on their listing also shows bump stops (stage3motorsports)

My only complaint with these was the spanner wrench. I got these last July and the supplied wrenchs suck, cheap and they bend. Punch set came in real handy.
One thing an Eibach tech guy told me and was spot on. 12 threads adjustment = 1" of lift / drop
I needed drivers side up 1/2" and 6 threads were spot on

This just in!

A helpful vid on how to setup your new Eibach Pro-Truck Coilover 2.0's

How to: Adjusting the PRO-TRUCK Coilover 2.0 - YouTube

Ha! Video 39 second marker. Most everyone here and Eibach told me measuring from the bottom of the rim is wrong... but the video shows this guy from Eibach does it as well.
For those that say well tire height matters..yep for comparing vehicle to vehicle... do the math, measure your rim and divide by 2, that gives you center of rim and subtract half the rim diameter off your measurement. Unless you got a laser its hard to get center the hub...bottom of rim = zero error
