Eibach needs a stock TRD PRO in SoCal

[adrummingdude]

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.

Thanks for intentionally avoiding to answer my question.

He answered you. It’s 1.8” or 1” higher than the pro set up.

You’re not very bright, are you?

They only have one setting.

Update on the springs:

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.

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

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

 

[Ryan at Eibach]

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.

1.8” would make it level so no i didn’t misread it.

@Ryan, when can we order?:smokin:

 

[Flea7907]

So 285s should be good to go with the extra 1.8? When can we order.

 

[Ryan at Eibach]

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]

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.

 

[fasteddy904]

Are there any pictures floating around with these front spring changes, either 1" or 1.8" on the TRD Pro?

 

[DallasTRDPro]

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.

Any updates or ETA?
