Eibach Pro-truck lift

[jtice]

Thats odd they came assembled set to the top groove, even Eibach states you should never run this setup that high, I think the second notch is the highest they recommend.
Im debating what to set mine at when I do the install,
I know you normally do the bottom notch, but I will have the added weight of the bumper and winch.

More pics please, and preferably with 275/70R17 .. Looking at doing this lift in March, and Can't decided between this lift, the Bilstein 3", or the Bilsteins adjustables with 2.5" coils/1.5" saw. Three options can't decide. :shrug:

Ive read too many comments about how the Bilsteins ride much rougher, which they certainly do on my Jeep JK,
Thats one of the main reasons I ordered the Eibach kit.
Cant wait to get this accumulating pile of parts installed!

Put a few miles on it this morning. It feels like I'm driving a truck and not a station wagon. Amazing how I can drive over speed bumps and stop without getting sea sick.

Good to hear. Glad you got around to installing it. Are you running stock tires or did you upgrade at the same time?

It good to hear all who've been going with this kit has nothing negative about the ride. Would you say it rides as expected?

Not sure what I expected, just an improved ride over the "floating" stock set up and a bit of lift to negate the "mom mobile" feel. This kit does both. I have over 200 miles on it and have no complaints. It's frim without being harsh. It absorbs bumps with out crazy rebound and handles pavement to soft shoulder transitions and back at 50mph with out even noticing.

I am right there with you about the wait times, but for me it seems no one has a armored up 4Runner with this kit either.

Got a ARB Summit bumper with winch and the Eibach Pro kit with the front set on second clip got about 6000 miles on it and I love the way it handles and rides looks good too!

Because you are concerned with the added weight?
Ive seen comments from several people that have this kit with a front bumper and winch, and rock rails, that that have a decent amount of gear in the back,
and they all love the lift and say it handles the weight well.
I forget the exact numbers, but I think stock springs are 550 rate, the Eibachs are 660 rate.
Now, if you had a TON of added weight, then it might become an issue. Im not familiar with how much weight full under armor would add up to.
I am pretty sure you would still be fine, until you were at the point of full expo rig, at that point you are going to be into some stage of Icon lift $$$$ Im sure.

I am looking at getting a front and rear bumper, and ARB skids since I am looking for light weight. and some rock sliders. I am debating which front bumper and roof rack to get but I know I want a dual hinge rear bumper, I am trying for lightweight build

23.5 rear, 22.5 front. Still have a bit of lean on the rear driver side, will be adding a spacer in the near future. One observation i noticed today is the little rattles from the dashboard are gone. It's a 2018 with under 7k, and there was always a small rattle from the dashboard along with my cell that would rattle where I keep it in the 4x4 shifter boot. All are gone.... For now.
