On the fence between a Westcott Design lift and Eibach spring lift

2021
Eibach Stage 2

 

Have had the Eibach springs in my 2021 pro since they dropped in March with no issues. 7500 miles and some hard trail runs with 0 problems. Some people were reporting issues with clunking so Eibach pulled them off their site, which is why they are no longer available.

 

This kit?

 

So you are just going to completely swap out the entires suspension, as opposed to tweaking the fox suspension already in the pro?

 

Was asking if that’s what he used. No, want to get some use out of the fox suspension. Prob go with WD.

 

I believe corn fed spacers will work also, haven’t done much research on them.

 

If you want it timely, yeah. You could always try springs in the back and the wescott kit up front. I know some have done that.

I used these: https://eibach.com/us/2821/e30-82-071-03-02-Toyota-4Runner-pro-lift-kit
At the time there were springs for the new fronts as well, those have since been pulled and last I heard they are redesigning them. Still not sure what that means for those of us that have them and have none of the issues people have described though…

 

Spoke to Eibach 2 weeks ago, they are revising the Pro lift springs for 21-22 due to prior complaints of noise, that is why it was pulled out of stock. I will be going with Eibach as soon as the springs are released. No way will I do with Westcott. Westcott and others will continue to say it is not a spacer but it actually is. I think Eibach has put alot of time and engineering into the spring that it will be a good fit and give a right height to fit 285 while still maintaining the performance of the FOX shocks.

 

So it would be just swapping out front and rear springs ? 2/1 of a lift?

 

Doh!

 

Save on fuel lol. This guy!

 

as someone with the Eibach springs, who does push their rig off-road, I am still wondering how people are getting noise. I have have had no issue with mine….

 

i doubt I’ll get 19-20 mpg on 33”, what’s so hard to comprehend.

 

Sent you a PM. Is the 2021+ issue just on Pro models or all trims? I have the Eibach Stage 2 kit on my 2022 ORP and so far they're horrible. They were installed in May at their preset position and it's like they're rebounding hard and topping out ALL the time. I've been going round and round with them about this and man do they have a list of excuses... The rear setup is fine and rides very good but in my experience the coilovers are way worse than a spacer lift in terms of ride quality.

If anyone has any insight from speaking with Eibach about this, PM me(to not hijack thread) as I'd love to know.

 

For PRO 21-22, Eibach Pro Lift Springs will only give you 1.4 front and 1 inch rear.

 

My understanding after research and speaking with Eibach and others on this forum, is that the spring problem relates to front springs on ‘21 and later Pro models with Fox suspensions.

 

Truth! And on top of that, $400 for spacers?? Yah, thanks but no thanks!

The Toytec kit seems to be a better option and at the same price point as the WD kits, it comes with actual springs to achieve the lift.

 

For the Pro? If so, which Toytec “kit” are you referring to for the ‘21 and later Pro?

 

Thanks! I’ll take a closer look.
Are those spacers/pucks that they’re using for the rear springs?

 

They are, looks to be similar design if not actual daystar rear spacer.

 

Thank you.

 

Thanks for the link. And, are you using this kit on a ‘21 or newer TRD Pro with OEM Fox suspension?

 

2-2.5 of lift on top of the stock trd pro 1”?

 

I am not.

 

Toytec has a video of them installing the pro kit. Seems close to WD. I’d like to buy toytec cause they’re local to me & I save on shipping. I have a 2015 so I may go Eibach instead. Before you buy an Eibach set off another site, just buy it directly from them because they’re not all in stock!!!

Stage 2.5 (2R) looks awesome & very tempting

My 2020 AG Pro with Eibach springs and 285’s. It made my Pro higher and better with there springs.

 

thinking about the springs myself for my 2020 pro. How do they compare to stock? You push it off road?

 

Short article, good info.
