    That’s as level as I’d ever want to be, honestly.

    Spent the last two weeks traveling with the 4runner loaded down. Definitely don't think shorter springs would work. Dog, luggage roof rack, cooler till I got everything in I was worried even with the eibach 1-inch springs I was going to be negative rake

    Maybe that's what I should make the thread title LOL... I guess the moral of the story is it depends how much weight you're hauling

    You could change it to "Eibach 1 inch rear lift - just right!"

    I'm going to take more measurements tomorrow but I do think these springs did settle a little bit from where they were originally as well.

    It would have to say . Just right if you're hauling a lot of weight.

    Pinstripes, lots of em. Plus a couple dents.
    Looks fine to me.

    I recommend some after market bump stops. I blew out 3 of 4 Eibach shocks.

    I have the Stage 2 Eibach Pro Truck kit, and mine looks exactly the same as yours. In fact, the Eibach kit made the truck completely level with settings, so I went ahead and added a 3/4 spacer on both rear springs... This is the result...

    So here's our current picture after driving for a few weeks with it loaded down and some very mild off-roading things seemed to have settled into about an inch of rake at the wheel wells when it's sitting empty and substantially less than that at the frame

    So just a brief update. I've been running a lot of weight in it for several weeks and parking it at night alternating sides where I'm flexing the rear up on my ramps for changing the oil. The springs have settled. Sitting it almost an inch exactly on the driver side and I would say an inch and a quarter on the passenger side. And oddly enough at the roof rails I'm perfectly flat even though it looks like I'm still driving with a little bit of rake which I take it is just the visual cues of fenders in Windows.

    Sorry to resurrect this thread but this was the exact suspension/spring combo I was about to purchase and planned on running at the same height. Off roading for me is mild so I'm really looking for your thoughts on road manners vs stock. Any input?

    It seems a popular combo and is hard to beat the price.
