    I have the Eibach Stage 2 lift for my 2022 4Runner. I have added a Nguyen Works rear bumper with dual swingouts, a drawer system in the back, RSG sliders, and Molle panels in my trunk. I will also be adding a Sherpa roof rack and front bumper without winch. I am looking to replace my rear springs to keep my lift height in the rear. Any suggestions?

    I would begin by first adding up all of the ‘permanent’ weight you’ll be adding, then looking at spring ratings that will support that additional weight.

    Since you already have Eibach suspension have you looked into the Load Leveling springsets the company produces? When my rear bumper finally arrives I'll be at a good 400 lbs of additional weight when fully configured for a trip. As of right now my rig is at 200 lbs of permanent additional weight with the pro lift springset and the suspension is working just fine. I may go with the 200 lb version to handle the added bumper weight but I'll be giving my contact at Eibach a call just to be sure.

    If it's not too late, we have an option worth checking out. We have 3 different options depending on how much constant weight has been added to the 4Runner. Shoot over a message if you have any questions, happy to help.
