Hey Ryan,
do you guys have an eta for the adjustable rears? Also, do you anticipate any thanksgiving/black friday deals?

No eta right now. We ended up changing a couple things including the duromoter of the bump stop that will be included. New protos of the stop have taken forever to get unfortunately.
We generally do a small black Friday discount along with our dealers.

Would you recommend swapping the stops with the current kit?

Had mine installed yesterday. Looks great and ride felt better, though I have not had a chance to really get out and test. Just drove from the shop back to my house.
Also, shop did before and after measurements on ride height and mine came out as follows with setting on clip 2:
Before: Left Rear +36.2, Right Rear +36.4, Left Front +33.6, Right Front +33.7
After: Left Rear +37.2, Right Rear +37.2, Left Front +37.0, Right Front +37.0

I really like the look! So is the eibach kit the only suspension upgrade you did to fit the 285's with those wheels?
Can someone upload an image of the rear shock?
The ones I have don’t come anywhere close to fitting.
This is what the eibachs look like.
This image is my current toytec boss performance right before I tightened it up when I put them back on.
On the eibachs the bolt isn't long enough to start threads and the tube the shock slides on to doesn’t come all the way through.
Is this the wrong shock from einach or am I missing hardware?
Edit: After looking at the shocks online I'm pretty sure I have the wrong shocks - or at least wrong bushings in them. [MENTION=318203]Ryan at Eibach[/MENTION] can you give this a look?

I just purchased the Eibach kit. I want to install it, but I just can’t make up my mind about the tire size. I keep going back and forth between 275 and 285/70s. I noticed that you went with the 285s. Have you experienced any rubbing or had to do any trimming?

I've had this kit installed for 6k miles and finally took it for some intermediate wheeling a few weeks ago. I had the Runner on 3 wheels a few times and the suspension handled it perfectly with zero rubbing on the fender or body with my Falken 285's.
Note: My front fender liners are pushed forward (shop did it before install) and my wheels have 4.75" of backspacing. A lot of folks on here who are running 285's haven't complained of any major issues and I have no regrets going with 285s.

I’m headed to NYC and having issues with the photos on my mobile. Call 951-256-8300 and ask for Dave our tech guy. He’ll get you dialed in. PM me if you have any issues at all.

Excellent. You’ve helped me make up my mind. Thanks, Matt.

It looks like I have the right part.
For those that have done the install yourself. How hard did you have to whack the lower eyelet to get it all the way in and get the bolt to thread?
I swear I had it all the way to the flange but I must. It have.

why are you downgrading shocks? No offense to the Eibach guys but those toytec's are a bigger diameter shock and shaft.
Because the Toytecs are really stiff. I bought more suspension than I will ever use. I talked to Mike at Toytec for a while, had him drive my truck, told him my needs, etc.
It just wasn't the right set up for me. So it was either spend 3k+ on adjustable kings or go with the Eibachs, which are the same thing Toytec uses in their 2.0 boss set up.
I got the suspension installed today. The rearmost of the 3 top nuts on the Toytecs was seized. Took me over an hour to get it off.
Everything else was easy enough. Just time consuming.
My issue with the rear shock turned out to be that the rear spacer on each of the suspension mounts was just frozen on and I didn't notice it.

Did you end up liking the eibachs more than the toytecs?
