I do not think anybody has them in stock BTW. I believe they all just third party drop ship from Eibach. My last call to Eibach they stated mid to late August for availability.

I have mine set to 2nd perch because of my front bumper/winch. 1" in the rear was not enough, so I put in 1" rear spacers by cornfed. For me, it's level and looks great!!!
Thanks for the responses. Looks like I’m going to pull the trigger.
I found them in stock at yotamafia, spoke with a sales rep and he mentioned they got an email from Eibach about them being available. Seems like it might be worth calling a few more suppliers to see if they are all on the same page.

@wOOkie, [MENTION=667711]Spike1[/MENTION], & [MENTION=98287]jkdrew[/MENTION],
I cancelled my order with the vendor and they promptly refunded my card.
I found all 4 shocks and the rear springs on eBay and they're sitting in my office right now! Search the part numbers on eBay and you'll find what you need.
I decided to save the money on front springs and use the factory springs at the 2.5-inch setting since some guys are saying it might sit a touch high in the front.
Now I'm trying to decide between the Cooper Rugged Trek and the Toyo AT3's...

there are 2 guys from Canada who have a channel on youtube and they installed a eibach set on their 4runner, and seemed to love it.
(they also installed a SC for the engine too....)

I did a ton of research into the Eibach lift and I’m confused and a little disappointed. I don’t know how people are leveling their 4Runner on the first perch. I have mine on the first perch and I still have the factory rake. After some digging and a call to Eibach, I need to go up to the 2nd. I kinda wish I had skipped the back springs, and kept with the 265s. First perch, no rear springs I guess would be level. *
Okay, after a few calls to Eibach, and a very generous neighbor who owns an auto shop, I got the fronts on the second perch and it looks amazing. Love the look and ride. Still don’t understand how some people are getting leveled on the first perch but I’m very happy with this setup.
Installed incorrectly?
I finally was able to get my wife's Pro-Truck lift installed on her 4Runner. We had it installed at a local shop. We asked them to install the lift on the 1st snap ring perch, which would have given us a 2.75 lift in the front. It looked a little high when I picked it up, but I just thought it needed time to settle.
It's been a few days since the install and the front still appears higher than the rear. I crawled underneath her 4Runner and took some photos to see if I could figure out which perch had been used for the install. I've attached those photos for review. Can any of you guys confirm whether or not these were installed on the 1st perch or 2nd perch by reviewing the photos? Happy to take more if you need them.
Please note, I had the front coils powder coated red before the install so that is why they are red instead of silver.
Also, I took measurements from the center of the wheel to the top of the wheel well before and after the install. Here are the measurements:
DF 19"
PF 19.25"
DR 21.50"
PR 21.50"
After Pro-Truck lift install:
DF - 23"
PF - 23.25"
DR - 23.50"
PR - 23.50"
That's a 4" inch lift in the front and 2" in the rear. That's well over the 2.75" or 3.4" advertised for the first and second perch settings so just trying to understand why I'm so high in the front.

Definitely don’t see the snap ring on the first pirch. This leads me to believe that your shop might have put the snap ring on the “first” pirch from the top, opposite of what you wanted and yielding the highest lift possible. Take it back in.

Anyone else have the upper shock bushings dry rotting?
Is anyone using the Pro Truck Sport Shock on the stock springs for no lift in the rear and using the snap ring position to level the front?
The instruction sheets seem to indicate that it works but just wondering if this is a recommended set up for those that don't need a lot of lift or extra weight carrying ability.

Yeah that's what I did, i have my front shocks set on the 3rd ring (~1.5" lift) which results in a fairly level stance.
This is my setup with the fronts set at +0.7". Two years in. Happy with the shocks on stock springs. Slight rake remains.

It rides much better.
Firmer and more controlled but still smooth. Not stiff or jarring like some other offroad shocks can be. Nose dip is reduced a lot. Big improvement both on and offroad compared to the stock shocks.
It should have come like this from the factory.
For j-dub, this is exactly how I would describe the difference between stock shocks and Eibach Pro Truck shocks. Nose dive is still there but not as extreme and the vehicle feels more planted.
