Eibach needs a stock TRD PRO in SoCal

I noticed you are running 285's. What lift do you have at the moment? Did you have to do any trimming when you went to the 285's?

No lift at the moment, stock PRO height.

No trimming, but did some heat gun reforming of fender liner. Very minor rub at full lock left turn into a parking space. Also remember that tire overall OD varies by manufacturer, even with same "size". example a nitto ridge is 32.76" and duratrac is 33" OD in the same size.
 
Any idea why the front lift spec was changed from 1.6” for the 2019 spring to 1.4” with the 2021+ release? Is the spring rate the same? I thought I heard that the 2019s were 600#.

Still have mud flaps?
 
Also curious. I have a 21 LR with the Westcott lift, however my front end is sagging due to SSO Front Bumper + Winch. I also have full roof rack and sliders. Curious if the Eibach setup could handle the extra weight. I spoke to Westcott about possibly keeping the lift and changing just the front end springs, but have received 0 word from them from their testing.

Yes.

They came in couple days ago. Here they are, bad pic, as color looks off....but they look great in person.

Anyone have the 21-22 trd pro springs installed yet? I would love to see pictures and get some feedback on them.

perfect timing...did mine last night...
from my "what did you do post....."

swapped out the stock TRD pro springs for the Eibach pro lift springs.
Pro tip...make sure you replace ALL parts BEFORE reassembly. One of the large washers that goes on the front strut, on the shaft below the tower fell off and i did not notice it. Found it sitting in cart as i was taking apart the other side. Anyways, had to do it twice. But I did get practice, and have the fronts down to about 30 min per side.

results....front end went from 21" to 23" from center of hub to fender edge.
rear when from 22 to 23 inches.
crappy pics, but it was late at night.

Dont have good impression yet as I only drove home last night, but intially they do feel a bit firmer and more controlled. I will be having alignment done tomorrow. After that I will see how they feel.

it did solve the very slight rubbing issue with the 285 70 duratracs.
we will see what they do in a week of when my Hefty Fab lo pro bumper comes in and the warn winch...they should be about an extra 140lbs on the front, hopefully they can handle it.

Awesome! Thanks for the pictures.

You were running 285’s without a lift before? And now with the Eibach springs do you think there will be any issues clearing 285’s on a stock 2021 pro?

correct, I was running 285/70 goodyear duratracs (33" OD) with on stock pro suspension. There was a tiny bit if rub on a hard right in a parking situation.
I think this has fixed all that. and yes you should be good on your 21, mine is a 20, but with the TSB i have the 21 struts, so its essentially identical.
 
Just got my springs today. Short on time these days and in the process of a move, so Probably wont be able to install for a few months. Ill be pretty happy to get these on eventually. Here come some 33s

Great! Keep us updated once you get some more driving time with them and let us know how those 285’s do with the new springs.

So now that you have had them for a few days, how are you liking them? Any additional feedback on the springs?

Yes....they are a little more firm, but in a good way. More control on highway curves and less nose dive. I will test over some rough stuff and let you know.

Pleased with the results
...
Putting winch on tomorrow, we will see what that does.

That looks great. I have the exact same truck and will be getting these springs installed with Toyo open country at3 285's. Do you have lift height numbers after the springs settled? Also besides removing the front mud flap are you getting a new rubbing or did you do additional trimming?
