How to: Adjusting the PRO-TRUCK Coilover 2.0

[@HawaiianZeus]

Threw these on my 23 tacoma along with the deaver stage 3s. I cranked the driver side till my threads were exposed 2” and did passenger side to 1 5/8”. This got me level all around the truck, and it sits fairly tall now. About 8.5” from the wheel to fender. Im running 285/70/17s.

[@Just_Joe71]

Use brakleen and a toothbrush to clean your threads prior to turning them. Very important.

[@twentyonehertz]

snapped the included red handle spanner wrench off on the first turn! I knew this would likely be a problem so I ordered a second one ahead of time, luckily I got it for free in the end. This is unacceptable, if I didn't have the extra I could have been screwed over for a week or more waiting for another! I had to resort to using a 22mm socket on the end of my extra wrench to get good enough leverage on these brand new coilovers for adjustment even with thread lube and it still took forever.

[@EibachUSA]

We've not been able to replicate snapping the wrench on old used or new kits here throughout multiple tests with randomly picked wrenches, but it is something we are looking into to improve the design.

[@twentyonehertz]

@@EibachUSA Well, my extra wrench worked fine and I was able to adjust what I needed without it breaking. I have no reason to lie about the first one snapping off at the weld on the end at first turn, it sucked.

[@EibachUSA]

@@twentyonehertz Not saying you lied, we are saying we are aware there has been reports of the wrench breaking and have looked into testing/improving the product.

[@manuelcorrea6304]

This happened to me a when i bought this kit a couple years ago . The wrench snapped and the tip of the other tubey tool bent of how hard it was to rotate. Eibach was good to send a replacement but I agree . We need an improvement asap. Id like to adjust mine but don't want to deal with that happening again so I'm stuck with the rear a bit higher than i want .

Long-time procrastinator here... finally got around to adjusting my 2.0 coilovers on my 2017 Taco Sport 4x4 to 3 inches height so that my 33's could finally clear in reverse/full wheel crank. It was a virtual night/day and your video helped a lot. My question is how would I calculate for a Smittybilt X20 winch with a SSO Slimline bumper?

[@jeffroberts2279]

What was your measurement from bottom tread to collar ?

[@manuelluhanga]

Does raising it add tension to the spring therefore making ride stiffer?

[@jeffroberts2279]

I’ve went thru 3 of these spanner wrenches on my Tacoma and still ain’t got it right. 30.00 a piece is killing me! I’ve sprayed them down and wrench always breaks after several turns, very cheap tools ! I’m jacked up on one side and never make it to other side! Running out of money, any ideas ?

Hi Jeff, were you able to get the right height? I got one spanner with my kit and in the first attempt to make an adjustment, it just broke lol

[@jeffroberts2279]

@@alejandroochoa862 I did. Took one of the broke wrenches to work and welded a piece on it and made it stronger. Welded the crap out of that thing….

[@jeffroberts2279]

@@alejandroochoa862 from experience, make the driver side higher when you measure it. My driver side is 1-7/8 and passenger side is 1-5/8 from thread to lower nut. If not you will have a lean, mine rides great!

[@Ercc2fla]

Ive been told that you need to take the coilovers out in order to make adjustments? im assuming this is not true!

[@EibachUSA]

You just need to lift both sides of the vehicle in order to adjust

[@conorchapman733]

I think you have to with circlips

[@boppo2780]

Threads must be pretty strong. Imagine the springs shooting out without another locking collar or failsafe system.

[@KGX470]

been looking around, for the same setup, looks like the truck is bouncy after a speed bump. How does this perform offroad? is it designed to go fast with hard corners on dirt roads and hold up on slower technical trails? Thanks

[@monkeyone24]

I recently had the Pro Truck Coilovers professionally installed on my Ram 1500. They didn't set the height where I wanted so need/want to raise my lift prolly 3/4 inch which I should be able to do myself based on your video. Would I need to get the front alignment done again? thx. Greg

[@Severyn26]

Ugh any chance you’ll do an upgrade from the 1.0 to the 2.0 for a reduced price?

[@EibachUSA]

Unfortunately no upgrade program.

[@OlivierJardine]

@Eibach US Do you need to get an alignment after adjusting the ride height?

[@highkeysaltyy]

Every time you adjust your coilovers you should get an alignment.

I just put these on my 2021 4 Runner and I now have a clunk or thud whenever I go over speed bumps in my front end. Do I need extended sway bar links?

That is not required with our kit, check if the links are loose.

We designed these to work with the OEM control arms, so it's entirely up to the customer if they want to upgrade their UCA. It'll work great on either one.

[@dominionn09]

Do you just measure for the adjustment? I'm about to do mine and I don't know haw to set at exactly 3" for my 21 Ranger

[@EibachUSA]

Yes, measure for adjustment. The instructions on this video can differ from truck to truck so it is more of a guideline. To get exactly 3" you will have to fine tune. Measure your ride height, adjust and then measure ride height again.

[@EDCOOLTIME]

is the adjustment same for 16 silverado ?

[@fuzz541]

Hi Tanner, or Eibach. Is it possible to LOWER the GX 2-3” using this kit, perhaps with shorter/softer springs? My folks want to trade their Avalon for a GX but my mother has mobility issues and the stock ride height is too high. This would be a low mile usage vehicle for a retired couple who might pull a boat once in a while (updated rear air likely necessary). I’ve suggested Highlander, Venza and Sienna but they’re very interested in the GX for its Lexus factor and the v8. Thanks!

[@EibachUSA]

Sorry just saw this, it will not lower the vehicle.

[@nismo613]

When I adjust this on my tacoma, the spring also turns with the collar. I'm assuming that's not right? Not only that - but I exposed more thread in an effort to raise .25 inches, and it appears nothing happened. I even marked on the center of the wheel hub to make sure I wasn't going crazy - and sure enough, there is no change. I don't understand how that's possible

[@ZenOverlanding]

I had the same thing happen, the spring spins when adjusted on the coil over 2.0. Did this become and issue for you or hows it holding up?

[@dad3562]

Nice! How does it feel off-road?

Feels great, the coilovers we're valved specifically with more off-road use in mind. We did our best to get a performance boost off-road without compromising street use.

[@MikeyDfromTN]

I did not get the spanner with my kit. Put on 4runner as they came and used half inch spacers in the rear in addition to the 1 inch of lift the rear springs that come with the kit provide and I still have a slight reverse rake I need to correct but no spanner . So my questions are A. how do I get a spanner cause I called and y’all out for the holidays and They’re sold out online and B. if I slightly lower mine will I need to get alignment again ? And C. Can the adjustment to a lower height be made with the vehicle on ground supporting it’s own weight without jacks since going down not up ?

[@Realricketycricket]

Can these coilovers be adjusted with vehicle on the ground?

[@EibachUSA]

It would be pretty difficult to do so. Best way possible is to lift it up and get some weight off the truck.

[@alanlegerlotz1946]

What do you recommend for thread lube when you're going to adjust?

[@EibachUSA]

We used PB Blaster (non orange one) for the video. Just be sure to clean it up after adjusting so the residue doesn't attract as much dust.

[@alanlegerlotz1946]

@@EibachUSA Thanks, I was thinking of using the PB Blaster SIlcone spray. It should repel dirt, not attract it.

[@kauaisoljaz]

What happens if you max it out?

[@EibachUSA]

We don't recommend maxing it out unless you are compensating for added weight and needing additional ride height. Doing so can damage the shocks and/or lead to uncomfortable ride quality.

[@kauaisoljaz]

Thanks for reply. Yeah I maxed out the Coilover on my 3rd gen Tacoma and the ride quality was not pleasant at all. What would be a sweet spot for it? With some height at least?
