Eibach Pro-truck lift

[TrailRunnin14]

I ordered my kit. Do you have any recommendations on UCA's?

I really like the Ironman pro forge uca. I’m running 2.25” of lift and got 4.7 caster. Drives so nice on the highway.

I installed the JBA Uca with the Eibach Stage 1 kit, JBA has great customer service

Yes the top hats are installed. They just seem to have dings all over.

I wouldn't worry about it. That's a heavy piece of coiled steel. Figure 1st trip down a gravel road will knock some paint off it.

Do you have tophats installed on them. Taking a wild guess, whoever installed the tophat damaged the finish on the spring.

That is not normal wear from packaging. It looks as though it was dropped or damaged during the top-hat install.

I would suggest reaching back out, or if you don't care to wait, you can put some vehicle touch-up paint or even some nail polish to re-seal the area.

Our system of powder coating (multi-step) is designed to help protect from excessive corrosion spread under the coating if there is damage. That being said, it should still be sealed.

I reached out to the seller and was a little confused at the response I received. They states the coating flaking off was not "abnormal". They states it most likely was damaged during shipping. They further state that because the top hats came installed the manufacture (Eibach) says they cannot be returned or exchanged.

I'll be installing this lift with SPC UCA's, and 285/70/17 Ridge Grapplers on my stock TRD wheels on my new Venture. Can anyone point me to a caster setting I need to get it set at so it will minimize any trimming needed? I would like to stay away from doing a BMC if I can help it. Thanks!

Mark,

When will you guys have the HD rear springs available for the kit? Been waiting for months to order this setup... Thanks!

Eibach patch

[GONE] Hi all, Eibach sent me a free patch a few months ago but I had the kit removed recently so wanted to pass the patch on. Send me a DM if anyone wants it for free, first DM will get it sent normal mail. Will mark this once someone claims it.

New Install

In recently installed the PRO-TRUCK LIFT SYSTEM (Stage 1) on my '08 Sport and have been happy with it. I installed the lift on the 1st (lowest) perch and thought that would eliminate the factory rake. The lift still looks good, I just need to determine if it's worth the work to un-install the front struts to change to the 2nd perch to balance things out a bit more.

Front: 21" from center hub to top of wheel well
Rear: 22.25" from center hub to top of wheel well

Hello I installed my kit on my 2020 Venture this weekend. I installed with SPC arms and only got 2.25 lift instead of the 2.75. Everything else on the vehicle is stock. Is this normal?

 

[SnowShadow]

Got my kit installed. Loving the look and ride so far. Seems to be a big improvement both on and off road.

I have been looking as well. Went to pull the trigger yesterday and noticed no springs. Mildly disheartening. I got back and forth between this kit and a Ironman kit. Bahh

Here’s my lift. Not gonna lie... there is a slight reverse rake... but I’m not terribly OCD, and it doesn’t really bother me

hmm. that would really bother me. might have to go with the rear spacers.

folks running this lift without UCA's, any issues with getting it aligned?

 

[ttravv]

It didn’t bother me too much with my dinky stock wheels, but once my SCS wheels went on with my alignment... it is quite significant now. Looks like I’m carrying 2 dead bodies in the trunk.

What did you guys do to fix the situation?

Wheeler's has it in stock with a 10% off code. Was $756 delivered pre-assembled.

Where do you see that at on their site? All I see is the regular Stage 1 kit and not the HD version. I even contacted Eibach and they said they do not even have a release date for the HD version yet.

Hang in there! We're hustling on all the things, but I can tell you I've spoken to a couple people who made the switch to the Eibach from other brands and have been very happy they've done so.

Looks really good!

I'm always amazed at how much lifting a 4th gen improves the looks. Yours looked good before the lift, but most look like station wagons before a lift and then BOOM they look incredible after a lift.

Just got my 2016 T4R premium w/ third row aligned and my alignment guy got it dialed without UCAs. Even said I had more room to push it further. I have a level/ slight rake to my install and that’s with the third row weight. Loving the improved handling so far. Only gripe I do have is the driver side front and rear is about 1/2” lower. Probably would’ve added a 1/4” spacer to the front driver side when I installed it.
