Eibach Load Leveling System info

Hi all,
Was planning on waiting to get the "Pro-Truck Lift System" from Eibach in mid-Jan when they complete work on their HD springs for it... but I'm wondering if the Load Leveling System they have for the rear may be a better option.

Does anyone have the Eibach Load Leveling System? If so, any issues with it?
How easy is it to adjust the rear end higher/lower?

Also, I was planning on getting a Front End Alignment once I throw on the new springs shocks... but what about a Back End Alignment? Is this even useful with our solid rear axles? And if so, will the rear end need to be aligned at all whenever I adjust the rear load leveling system?

Thanks all for the help!

 

Good luck. I think these are a fairly new offering. I suggest using Google, too, to see if you can find any reviews (duh).

Interested to learn about aligning the rear end..

 

My 1st set of load levelers had a bum spring on one side. Eibach sent a replacement set and they are fine. Adjustment is easy if you Jack up the rear, be sure to clean and lube the threads

 

How long have you had the system installed?

 

Since they came to market. It's been about 5 or 6 months. With covid I had no reason to tow this year but checking a couple weeks ago.... At 5000 miles the front and rear have not settled at all

 

Did you have to get an alignment on the rear end when you put them on? If not, how's the tire wear... Only 5k miles you might not see anything.

What kind of lift do you have on the front?

 

I have the rear Load Leveling System on my 2019 SR5 4WD and I Love it! RIdes smooth even when you're not running any weight in the rear. Im also running the Coilover 2.0 up front! We made a video using my 4Runner if you'd like to see a bit of the adjustment process. For the record, Im running the AK31-82-071-02-02 kit.

I used the eibach adjustables up front at the same time set at 2.5 so had to do an alignment anyway.
You should be fine if you set them at stock height. Can't imagine anyone wanting more rake as a daily driver? Runners are already rear end hight

 

Not all of them. I’d try to preserve the rake of my TRD Pro, which is already more or less leveled. The Eibach leveling system will be perfect for me in the midterm since I can just level out the additional weight in the rear (roof top tent, tire carrier, lightweight drawer system). I don’t care about lifting the car, not needed on 99% of the trails I’ll take it to and also not needed for mall crawling. Curbs aren’t that high ...

Maybe I’ll take out the Maxtrax next time I get up a curb at the mall, since the Runner isn’t lifted ...

 

Forgot to ask. Putting the upper plate on the drivers side is a pita. I had to use painters tape on the nut and washer stuck in the wrench (I didn't see any other way possible). What does Eibach recommend?

 

It's not about how one crawls at the mall. It's how good you look getting there

 

Can you use different shocks with the Eibach load level kit? i can get 2inch travel rear shocks off a friends 4 Runner not sure what brand shock yet.

 

Yes, you can other shocks, so long as they accommodate the amount of lift you plan to add.

 

Thanks
