Perfect timing on the video. I’ve got the exact same truck and I just got my Eibach 2.0s. Nice to see how it looks before I install mine. 🤙🏼
Nice! How's everything doing since?
Just put the stage 2 on my 2023 Tacoma and freaking love it! Rides smooth! C load K02’s ride the best 💯
Perfect setup!
Did you have to cut to fit your tire? What size wheels and tires do you have?
@@br1569 17x9 -12 fuel blitz with 295/70/17 K02’s . Had to do a cab mount chop.
I have a 19' TRD OR and I love it, but that 4runner though! 😍 I'm actually waiting on those exact coilovers and shocks . Glad to finally come across a vid with positive feed back on the Eibach's.
Thanks! You’ll be stoked for sure 🤙🏼
I have 2022 TRD off road too and go with eibach lift same 2front and 1 at the back but I keep the TRD pro wheels and put 265/75/16 KO2 run smooth for everyday use,maybe nxt I’ll go try bigger tire but need to enjoy for now my 265/75/16 tire..not to much stress on my drive train..I’m one of your subscriber and I live too here in OAHU
It's such a great suspension! Thanks for watching
Great video thank you
Sweet vid. Good info. Nice truck man
Thanks man!
Just put mine on, have the 2.0 coil over front and rear reservoir shocks in back. I also have and overland set up. Put them on where they came set out of box and front end was too high compared to back. I’m going to add the icon 1.5” add a leaf to help balance the load I’ll be using when packed fully for travels. The front for me seems like it will need uca, it feels like it has a slight camber but it could just be settling as it’s only been two days. For now I unloaded the spare and bed equipment I keep stores and it brough it up to 36.5 rear and the front is at 37.25 after lowering to compensate the sag till my leaf comes in. Hoping this helps get riding smoothly bc I’m not a fan as of right now how it rides after hearing and seeing all the setups ride great.
Did you get it aligned after install?
Man when I save up these are mine! Is it hard to install at home
Not too bad actually just need the right tools and a wrenching buddy
Got that just ordered stage 2r
I've been running the 2.0s for about a year, replaced the front spacer my Tacoma came with used. 1.5 inch block in rear. Didn't change coilover settings, snd it's pretty dam level, sometime I think front high. Actually thinking of lowering front about .25 inch to get my rake back.
Thanks for the input! I think the heavy SnugTop ended up making it seem it needed a touch more lift.
Hows the quality on road and off road with the 2.0 eibach coilovers ? Looking in to purchasing them
Excellent even at high at speeds! Enjoy
Hey bud great video, so are you at 2.5” in the front and 2” block in the rear?
Thanks,
-Rob
Thanks Rob, actually we used a 1” block as the factory rake is rather high
Just got this kit did you have the Taco lean on the driver side ? If so how much did you adjust
Do you think this stage 2 kit is worth the money over the stage1? I’m looking at putting the 2” stage one and 1.5 rear with 1.5 AAL on 2022 taco and can’t decide if worth going for the stage 2 in the front.
Yes absolutely because the install and adjustment is way easier than having to disassemble the entire shock and coil. Ride quality is similar but stage 2 is better IMO
Great thanks! Did you end up putting in a 2” block in the rear and if so did the shock have enough tolerance for that even with it saying 1.5” limit?
@@codymann3724 Yes because the SnugTop weight presses it down that 1/2" or more so it's fine. If your not planning on adding a camper or similar extra weight, stick with the 1" block or add-a-leaf
Can't decide between Eibach stage 1 or Bilstein 6112 I've heard that the 6112 offers much more stiffer ride
I think it’s subjective because we’ve had both and they rode similar. I think the stiffness guys complain about is usually the E load tires they decide on. Put C load KO2 tires on and it’s buttery smooth
@@everydaybettereverydaystronger I just pulled the trigger and went with the Dobinson IMS.
how has it been ? I want to do the same lift stage 2 but dont want to do an add a leaf ... hear the suspension gets much more stiffer with the add a leaf instead of the block... thoughts?
Go for it brother! Never been disappointed anything Eibach makes. Yes the add-a-leaf will slightly stiffen but depends on which brand. I heard Toytec and OME ones are the best. The 1” block is perfect without a camper shell. 2” would be better in that case
Why not keep both?
Ideally I’d love to but it’s not financially possible right now
Looking to get the stage 2 as well. You mentioned trimming still needed to take place, do you have any view points on what exactly needs to be trimmed and wear for no rubbing?
Hey Josh, just the front fender only in front and back of the tire but it's minimal. A Dremel or hacksaw works great to do it.
@@everydaybettereverydaystronger thank you sir.
I have a 2016 Tacoma 2nd TRD sport long bed so lighter stock weight. Im hoping not to trim or cut. What is the highest setting so not to not trim or cut and what size block with the highest coil setting.?
What size tire and wheel specs as that's the difference maker?
@@everydaybettereverydaystronger 17x9 zero offset
@@br1569 leave it in the position it comes set at and use the 1" rear block. Zero offset is a good, conservative stance and go from there.
How does it feel around 25-30 mph on rocky bumpy trails?
Can't say as we didn't go that fast in that kind of terrain
How's your needle bearing now you're approaching 3" lift? Have you replaced it?
No problems on this one nor on the 4Runners I’ve had but have heard of the needle bearing issue with others. May be luck of the draw with particular parts used at the factory 🤷🏼♂️
@@everydaybettereverydaystronger that's great. I think it's more common on the '16 and '17.
I've been in the fence with the buying either the Eibach 2.0 (adjustable) or the 6112s. I wish there was more info on the Eibach. Even though they are a 46mm same as OEM, They seem to be much better tuned. Thanks for posting vids!
@@emorse912 Welcome!
@@emorse912 huh? These are definitely thicker than oem shocks
No diff drop kit?
No need with 2.5” lift. I’d do if 3”+

I’ve been pretty disappointed in peoples videos that supposedly review shocks. First of all, adjectives like awesome or unbelievable are meaningless because they’re subjective and only relative to the authors experiences, which may be none because they switched from stock, which everything is better than stock. Actually, people who have only one set of shocks shouldn’t even be doing reviews.
Anyways, there’s only 3 data points needed to characterize a shock. That’s the low, mid, and high speed damping. To illustrate each of those you put the truck into a scenario that produces low speed shock travel, mid, high, etc. So low speed is on road driving, body roll, driveway thresholds, g outs, etc. Mid speed are speed bumps, low amplitude terrain, bumpy rocky riverbed surfaces at low vehicle speeds. Then there’s high speed events like hitting curbs at speed, hitting square corners, hitting large rocks at speed, woops at speed, etc. I’m just saying people need to put some effort into their reviews instead of just showing pictures of their truck.
