Eibach Pro-truck lift

Does this make me official now?

Are you saying its not high enough? Any weight on the front end, bumpers etc.?

Nop, no bumper, no added weight. I think i would add a 1” inch spacer jeje

Yes!

ok I don't have the patience to read through 118 pages to find this info.

2.75 seems silly high in the front with a 1" rear. does it end up level or with that stupid "pitbull" stance the mall crawlers like these days? if you carry gear in the back, does it end up with butt sag?

as far as I can tell, the front isn't adjustable. Have people found a cheap solution to that? Different coils?

where are these cheapest currently? I see Tire Rack has it for $673 but they are out until June 6th.

I had the same concerns so I pieced my kit together as I really wanted the Eibach shocks based on reading tons of positive reviews. I went with the Wheelers T1 front coil (made by Eibach), OME 2895E rear coil, and Pro shocks all around. Assembled and shipped from Wheelers Off-road for $844. Good for 2.5” front and 2” rear. With the boat hitched up and 250 pounds of tires in the back I had no sag and sit just about level. Without anything in the back I have just slightly less than factory rake.

All finished with the exception of alignment.
Some befores:

Some afters:

I know, I know, it needs a bath bad. Now time to go shopping for wheels and tires! Anyone know when Discount is going to run a big sale? I'd hate to have to wait until Memorial Day.

I installed this kit by myself on the shop floor with just a jack and jackstands. Install time was about 8 hours but that was with me screwing up the threads on one of the tie rod ends and having to drive into town to buy a replacement. It could be done in 6 hours if you don't break stuff.

Looks great! I can't wait to get mine installed. It should be here on Thursday. I ended up ordering mine off of TOYTEC added the top hat option with it. I will be installing mine by myself as well. I've done a lot of lowering cars back in highschool haha, it's time for a lift :guitar3:

So after digging through tons of suspension threads about the best suspension upgrade without breaking the bank, I discovered this thread and was very curious about its benefits as well as what it could have offered me.

I decided to go with the Eibach Pro Truck Lift Kit as discussed here. Prior to purchasing, I did discuss this suspension with a friend of mine who worked in the suspension field and I felt it was a good step forward for my needs. Eibach has been in the suspension business for decades, and are an extremely reputable company for their in house R&D for each vehicle application. The suspension was ordered and was put onto my car at 2200 miles. Currently the car has 2700 miles and I wanted to share my thoughts.

I was looking for suspension that was a tad stiffer, that would reduce the nose diving on braking, level out the car, and did not require me to do a UCA swap or a diff drop. I also wanted to enhance the ride of the car without going overboard since in reality this vehicle is my daily commuter and is used in light expeditions.

Initially, I was looking into just the shock replacement with Bilstein's but figured if I was going to disassemble my whole suspension, I wanted to swap the springs as well. My mentality was buy once, cry once, and do it while its out.

This suspension did just that for me. The vehicle was raised to a good leveled height front to rear. The nose diving was reduced by a significant amount and stiffened the ride just a bit but not to the point of pure discomfort. Everything in the kit was exactly what was needed to assemble the suspension with the exception of re using your existing top hats or purchasing new ones.

The UCA was just at the right points and did not need to be replaced, also the vehicle was able to be aligned correctly and also gave me the opportunity to remove the alignment bolts and apply anti-seize to it as well for future use. The brake lines still fell within specs and still had slack and did not need to be extended. In the end for the price where most vendors price the kit between $670-$700, I was extremely happy with the outcome and with the cost.

What I was most happy about this suspension, was that it did come with snap rings and four different levels of adjustment for the front spring seats. As explained in the instructions, the most bottom seat is for no added weight to the front of the vehicle. Each ring has its own application for if and when you wanted to customize it to your specs or add extra weight to the front in the form of a winch or bumper.

I have taken this vehicle wheeling in stock form and was happy with the results, I have yet to take the new suspension setup wheeling but will do so in the near future with a follow up and surely do not anticipate being disappointed.

If anyone is looking to upgrade their suspension from stock without breaking the bank, I would highly recommend using this kit as I couldn't be happier.

For those who have questioned the height differences between the front and the rear springs. The front being lifted 2.75" is perfectly mated to the 1" rear lift in this kit. If at all there is still a slight forward lean but insignificant at all.

I hope this helps anyone who is looking for an upgrade and stumbles upon this thread, I couldn't be happier going this route overall.

Anyone .5" or 1.0" rear spacers with this kit? Most of these lifted rigs look higher in the front and I would want my rear to sit slightly higher. Trying to get the most comfortable set up and other springs at 1.5-2.0" are the opposite of comfy.

 

[ClovisMan]

Has ANYONE added .5" or 1.0" rear spacers with this kit? Most of these lifted rigs look higher in the front and I would want my rear to sit slightly higher.. I also see people are setting the fronts to 1.6"? I only see options for setting them for added weight and would yield a higher lift?

I just recently installed the kit over the weekend and the pictures I posted does look like the front is higher. I took these immediately after the install was complete. Since driving around for a couple of days the front has settled and it is pretty much even all around.
If I was to do it again I would use 3/4 inch Cornfed spacers in the rear with this kit and the 1/4 spacer from Toytec on the Driver's front to make it level with the passenger side. Just my 2 cents.

ToyTec 0.25" thick Front Lift Top Plate Single Spacer (approx 1/2" Lift)

Edit: I guess I should mention that my front strut assemblies are on the 2nd clip setting.

 

[emedina8705]

Alright, lift is going on May 2nd and I want to get this correct... front clip will be on second ring (3.4”) due to the added weight of the SSO slimline and winch. The rear will be on the second ring as well for the 0.8” correct? Or is the rear supposed to be on 1.6” (3rd ring) to allow it to settle to ~1 in in the rear. To give it the slightly raked/level stance?

Installed the Eibach pro-truck kit with 1" cornfed spacer in the rear and a 10mm spacer for the front left corner. Sits exactly where I wanted it.

If you want you could piece the kit together minus the rear spring and get any number of rear springs. (Ive seen a few who have extra weight or want a little more factory atyle rake use the OME 2985e)

I believe Wheeler's Offroad will do this for you.

 

[BIGpharma]

Thanks guys, another question: has anyone compared these with a dobinsons kit? Or threw dobinsons springs on the shocks? Im trying to piece together a lift that is very comfortable on the road (pot holes/rough streets). It sounds like a dobinsons kit may be pretty plush..

No "rings" on the rear, they are not coilovers.

Thanks for the input. I checked the instructions again and realized I missed the “instructions below are for OEM springs”. That really clarifies things.
Now I just need to decide if I wing it with 285’s in P and risk a rub or 275’s in C.

Looking to do the same, what year you got?

Looks fantastic! How is the ride quality????

The ride home felt great (although 4 miles). I noticed the nose dive was gone and steering felt tighter on turns. I'd imagine that everything loosens up a little as the spring settle in but happy with the height and ride so far.
