Eibach Pro-truck lift

[JTLip011]

Greetings everyone,

The time has come and I’m ready to lift my ‘23 ORP w/ KDSS. after months of research, I narrowed down everything with 95% certainty but I have some questions for the more experienced members of the group. I tried finding if other members had something similar but I couldn’t anything.

The current I set up I’m planning and what I worked out with the shop is:

1. 3” front, 2” rear Eibach Pro-Truck Lift (cornered spacer to achieve the difference)
2. 285/70r17 BFG KO2
3. Treaty Oak’s KDSS Spacer
4. Panhard Correction Kit from Eimkeith.com

Do you recommend I add SPC UCA’s or am I fine with OEM? Eibach says it’s not necessary but with the extra lift of the corn fed spacer, would the SPC UCA’s be better?

Also, is the cornfed spacer worth it/reliable? Or should I just stick with the max limits of the Eibach and use OEM UCA’s?

My main goal is more clearance on mild trails and fire breaks, and reducing nose dive. This is my daily driver and my driving is 90% on-road, 10% off-road.

Thank you in advance!

I just ordered the Eibach kit as well but I might be able to help a bit before it gets here. Currently I run a Cornfed front spacer and it's been great for 5-6k miles so far, no issues at all. I also decided on UCA's for my kit even though I'm only doing 2.75/1 for the lift. I figure it's easier to do it all while it's apart than have to go back. For what it's worth, I went with Dobinsons UCA's as I had read somewhere that those and Ironman are the only ones similar to OEM in that they don't require any maintenance. Just my thoughts!

Eibach Pro-Truck Lift installer is recommending I change the needle bearing

All,

I have a 2015 T4R Limited that I am installing the Eibach pro lift on. The installer is recommending I change out the needle bearing. Is this something I need to do? I have no problem with getting the work done, however, I do not want to change something if it is not broken. The lift is mostly aesthetics, I do not do any off-roading and want to get rid for the nose diving and put some better wheels/tires. I am also doing the SPC UCAs as well. Looking for 2.5" front and 1.0" rear.

I appreciate any feedback

I’m using their rear springs and lower line shocks on the rear of mine. I’m happy with the setup. It’s definitely stiffer than the stock setup but in a good way

So this is one lift I’m considering among a couple other entry-level options. I like the simplicity of the stage 1. One question I have though is how it handles added weight (not in terms of bumpers, winches, etc..). This kit levels the 4Runner, so you’re left without any rake, correct? If you load up the back cargo area with 100-200lbs of camping gear, food, water etc, do you end up with a squat? Other than that, I’ll be adding a roof top tent (150lbs), any potential concerns there?

I have this lift and recently added a hidden which to the front. The setup with plate weighs around 90lbs. I think the front went down less than 1/2 inch but I haven’t measured. No detriment to ride quality. I haven’t noticed any squat with about 70lbs of gear in the back (my normal car camping setup) but it does squat when I tow my boat at around 300-400 lbs tongue weight.

Have been running the eibach pro truck lift kit for almost 3 years now I think. Have the fronts set to 2.75" and the load leveling kit in the rear to give about 2" of lift. Also running 17x8.5 -10 Ray 10s, JBA UCAs, and 285/70 BFGs.

Rides and handles great, eliminated the nose dive while braking. The truck became a bit more sluggish off the line but it's a 4runner, still drives great.

Had to push forward the front fender liner, do some minor trimming to the front bumper, the black valence caps, body mounts, and remove the front mud flaps. After all that, no rubbing.

I'm getting ready to replace the BFGs and thinking about going up to the Toyo AT3 in 285/75 (34s). Anyone else running anything bigger than a 33 with this setup? Just additional trimming to the front bumper and hammer the pinch welds? Regear?

Thinking about running this kit. Is possible to run the kit one the second clip without any additional weight? Meaning will significantly damage anything? It seems like front isn’t quite 2.75 for everyone?

Has anyone here been using just the front springs from Eibach and stock on the back ? Or do I have to buy all 4 springs to make it level ?

So for what it's worth I currently run this kit and was initially very happy with how it looked. However, as time went on I started to feel like my setup wasn't quite what others seemed to have. There were even people who have asked me "are you going to lift it" or "is it stock still". That's with the Stage 1 and 33's.
