Eibach 5th Gen 2.0 Coilover Kit

[Saker]

I've been highly tempted to go this route as well. Since the kit is adjustable, I'd want to keep it at 2" lift so I don't have to get UCA's (for now) do you think that is feasible with this set?

My 2 cents.

Short answer IMHO is yes, its feasible.

These are 2" shocks with a 3" coil, fully adjustable, range 0 - 2 1/2". (that's the reason for my choice so they can be tweaked on the T4R)

The 6112's were a 2.5" shock with a 4" coil if I remember and mine were at 2" height and I never had any issues with a stock UCA.

I asked Eibach about their pro-truck lift kits for the 4Runner and they said you could run your stock UCAs, on stage 1 & 2 kits.

I'm sure you can.. but how much longevity /reliability do you need to compromise?

I read on here that under 2" lift no problem but at around 2.5" and above... UCA is suggested.

Hey guys, new member and new 4Runner owner. Just got a 2021 TRD off-road premium. About to get some KO2 stock size C load. Plan to keep my stock rims. I want to get some new coil overs next. Just plan on doing the fronts. This is my daily driver sine I sold my f250. I don’t do any trails just a lot unpaved rough dirt and gravel roads. A lot of highway driving as well. I want less nose dive on braking and better handling but still a somewhat smooth ride. 1 inch of lift would be max I would go so I can keep stock UCAs. Are these a good option (assuming they come in stock anytime soon) is there a better option? TIA

These would be a good option for your needs. Last I heard, Eibach is saying they're shooting to have these out before Christmas...

Not a 4 runner, but I am planning to run the Eibach 2.0 on my GX460. Eibach was great on my Jeep and I am excited to get it installed. I am glad to hear others have had a great experience as well.

Just wanted to share how I got my hands on the eibach 2.0 coilovers. I am not happy with the vendor because they list them as confirmed fitment for 2022. Dave at Eibach said this is not true, and they have not even had a 22 in their shop yet. But, to help out anyone that's looking. I went to Bilsteinlifts.com and registered my email to be notified when they are in stock. I got an email a few weeks ago and clicked the link within a few minutes. When I got to the product page there was 1 in stock. I purchased the kit with rear shocks.
I can confirm fitment in a 2022 KDSS ORP, with a caveat. I lowered the front spring seat by 1 full inch to get the advertised height. This came out to 2 3/16 inches between the bottom of the spring seat and the top of the shock eye. There are roughly 2-3 threads showing.
I am not saying Eibach will not address this with a different preset height and part number, I'm just telling my story.
Vehicle is 13" front wheel arch to wheel top and 13.25 rear. It rides incredible and has zero lean. I'm waiting for the rear load levelers to be delivered. I'll post back after install. If you're spanner breaks like mine, I adjusted them with two 1/4" pin punches placed opposite one another.

Did you get an overall measurement of the OEM shock and the new Eibach?

Measurement between both from lower mounting point to bottom of coil prior to any adjustment on the Eibach?

Also, did you set the vehicle down before you pulled up and then tighten the lower mounting point to torque specs?

Yes, the center to center bolt measurements were the same. In the photo they were not aligned right so it looks a little deceiving.
Second question, yes. I marked all of the assignment cams, so I could at least get back to stock settings. I lowered the vehicle and rolled it back and forth a bit, then I torqued everything. I drove it 100 miles and checked torque. Nothing moved but I'll check after another 400

Anyone know where I can pick up this kit from a reputable vendor? I'm reading about sites posting "Current Lead Time 1-2 Weeks" but I'm also reading customers saying it took much longer than that. Any help is appreciated.

You can contact totalautomotiveperformance to check availability, but I think Eibach is just catching up with current orders.
Mine were ordered since April and I just received them last week!

I did my Eibach lift over 2 nights. Rear: 1 inch pro lift springs and Pro truck shocks. Front: Pro Coilovers 2.0.

The rear gained almost 1.5 inch with those springs. I had to make about 13 turns or more in the front coilovers to get the nose down to the height I was looking for, there is about 3/4 inch factory rake left to compensate for light boat towing.

Used plenty of silicone lubricant on the collars and threads, using metal pipe for leverage it wasn't that bad using the spanner wrench especially going down releasing spring tension. I bought back up wrench in case it broke but not needed after all. There's about quarter inch left of threads from the bottom on the struts. Kudos to the person who suggested putting a paint mark on the collars to keep track of the turns.

Before on top, bottom is after the lift. Really liking the new stance and handling.
