Eibach pro kit stage 1

With a proper alignment, you can get a 275 to fit without rubbing. This is assuming you're using stock wheels and no spacers.

I don't know what that magic caster number would be.......maybe +3 degrees or so.......I'm just guessing.

But when you push your caster forward of that +3.5 - 4 degrees you'll start rubbing on the front fender flare/fender liner. The fix to this rubbing is extremely easy and is actually worth moving your caster up to 4 degrees because of the positive benefits you get in road manners from that alignment.

 

Ok cool, I'm hoping for no rub once I get everything installed that's one thing I cant stand is rubbing!!!

 

Stock look. the Falkens do fill out the fender well nicely IMO.

 

Look nice, I was thinking I might have to go with the spidertraxx 1.25 spacers to give it that wider stance but those tires look nice on there.

 

If you put spacers on, you will almost certainly rub.

 

On the street, you will not rub on stock SR5 wheels with 275’s. My friend I run trails with all the time has them on stock wheels with no lift and he will ONLY rub on full wheel lock while front suspension is flexed.

 

Anyone have pics of there Eibach pro kit installed?

 

Mine is to be delivered Tuesday but prob wont get around to have it installed till May. I will post pics when all done.

 

How do you get the extra 10% ?

 

While on their site, a pop up window appears to sign up to mailing list and offers 10% off first purchase. Try code SAVE10. Good luck!

 

i have 275/70/17s on stock sr5 and dont rub. i would think you can go bigger

 

Hank, Does the kit from buybrakes have fully assembled fronts?

 

I didn’t see that pre-assemble option when I ordered. Don’t think it is offered.

 

Did you receive your kit on time? Any issues? I'm considering pulling the trigger and ordering from here as well but not sure how reputable they are.

 

Yes. Got it on Friday - been doing its self quarantine out on the porch since.... Haven’t open it, it is boxed in an Eibach outer box.
Ordered on the 28th, delivered on the 10th. I even spoke to buy brakes sales on the 2nd, the guy sounded friendly and told me orders are drop shipped by Eibach.
FYI, the last I checked... Eibach themselves are out of stock at the moment. So you might to have to wait until their production resumes.

 

Also ordered a kit. Haven't heard about shipping yet. I'm assuming it'll be delayed until they get rolling again.

 

I ordered mine this morning from eibach directly. Salesman said they should be back in stock May 1st.

 

Amazon was quick to ship! This is the full pro kit, but they did not have an assembled option

going on this upcoming week!

 

installed today, OME 10mm rear trim spacer to adjust for driver side lean. No UCAs or diff drop. With truck on the 2 post and suspension at full droop, stock ucas hit the springs a little. 265/70/17 falken wildpeaks

 

I received my kit last Tuesday. Pre assembled struts and came in eibach box, everything looks in good shape and quality kit. I did by the front and rear spacers for drivers side lean from dobinson suspension for $60 For both. I measured height on stock setup and driver side is exactly 0.5 inches lower on front and rear. I get it installed this Thursday the 23rd with alignment and 275/70-17 falken wildpeak tires on stock wheels. Cant wait and will post pics and opinion of kit when done. Will also post before and after measurements at all 4 corners for those of you that are interested in same kit.

 

Looking forward to the pics! Are the Wildpeaks E rated? Will they rub?

I’m also interested in getting those, just not sure how big I can go without doing mount chops or fender trims.

 

Wild peaks are c rated which is why I chose them over BFG. I'm pretty confident they will not rub but will let you know Friday after install. I think the ones that are rubbing at full lock dont have the spacers installed to correct drivers side lean. 0.5 inch height difference without the spacers makes a bigger difference than you might think. I got the spacers so I will let you know how it works.

 

one day i will take better pics.

 

Mine should be here this week. Looking forward to getting it done

 

Looks good, what UCA did you go with? Thinking of doin that down the road.

 

Anyone running this kit notice if a diff drop kit is needed? Or front sway bar spacer kit needed?

 

JBA "high caster"

 

Negative.

 

neither, i do recommend UCAs if you plan on offroading, at full droop the ucas hit the springs

 

Finally had mine installed today along with JBA control arms. Much preferred this stance. Rides firmer as expected, eliminated braking nose dive.
