The dampers were developed before the springs came into play. So, here is how we set it up:
Stock front Springs on Eibach Shocks Top Clip: Level
Eibach front springs on Eibach Shocks bottom Clip: Level
Eibach front and rear springs on Eibach shocks second clip: Lifted and leveled
hope that helps!

I'm getting the kit installed tomorrow. Eibach springs and shocks/struts front and back. So I should have them put the front clips on the bottom/lowest setting?

Quick and dirty review of the lift.
The ride is stiffer in ways, but not to the point its harsh at all.
Stock, the ride was a bit softer, and sucked up some bumps really well, a smoother ride in some ways, but you had a bit of that SUV sloshy feel.
Now, it feels VERY sturdy and solid. Very composed, less body roll, the nose dive under breaking is GONE.
A lift can certainly ruin a vehicle, but this Eibach lift has been a nice improvement. I am very pleased with how it rides.
Front is set to second notch from the bottom, per Eibachs recommendation.
I was very worried this would make the front higher than the back, but It seems to be pretty much level with my added bumper and winch weight.
If you only have a winch, or only have a bumper, ehhhh, you may want to stick with the lowest setting and have a sliiiight rake.
Nice rig. What size are those shoes?

Hi Ryan,
Do you adjust the rears just as you would a front coil over?
Is it really that simple?

Thanks,

Went with those since they are skinny and still a C rating, and much lighter than jumping up another size which would be E rated.

Ryan - When will the adjustable rear springs be available? I'm looking at a lift before the end of June when I go on a jeep run. I want to keep some rake so if the adjustables are not ready I may just add a .5 or .75" spacer.
Those 255/75's look great! I don't want E's either and don't want the hassle of 285's.

Looks great. Any more pics? I'm thinking about the same tires. I really like the weight savings.

Yes. This new setup will allow you to carry a bunch of extra weight and keep height in the rear.
We're still testing now. ETA is probably a couple months.

I was in the same boat, I love the look of a bit larger tire like the 285. But the added weight and E rating rough ride was just not worth it to me.
This is a daily driver / overlander rig for me so I wanted to still maintain good performance on the road.
Hope to get some better pics later. In more interesting places than my driveway. haha.

Just wanted to provide a followup from my recent install. Took measurements again a few times since and consistently saw the passenger front was higher than the driver front. I looked closer at the spring perches and noticed that the clip on the pre-assembled coilovers looked different on the driver side compared to the passenger side. Part of the clip was exposed on the driver side and the clip sits at an angle, compared to the passenger side where the clip is fully recessed and seated straight in the groove if that makes sense.
So I called Toytec support and sent them the above pic and their response was, ”that clip setting for some reason is not seated all the way down, if you have the means to fix/ adjust the clip setting back into place I would highly recommend doing so before driving on that any longer. I will refund you the amount on the assembly you have paid us to do.”
Then I removed the spring from the shock on the driver side and found the clip in terrible shape, deformed and not reusable and the groove on the shock body impacted (beveled in areas) as well.
I am lucky this misaligned clip held and didn’t completely fail while driving. Not happy at all though. I have contacted Toytec and am awaiting their response and a replacement.

What is the front set to in this picture? 1st or 2nd clip? Looks tall.

That is crazy! Glad you found that before something happened. I am going to take a look at mine today. Thank you for the detailed pictures and write up.

I am glad you caught this sooner than later! I am sure Eibach will be touching base to help. I am curious if this is some form of a clip or grove failure verses a Toytec assembly failure. I will be checking mine also.
WOW. That looks great. Love those tires and I really like dark blue 4R's.
