Eibach 2.0 coilover adjustment questions

[Wolfman00]

got my coilovers in. 1 hr on drivers side, 30min on the other. (no including adjusting them down)

I have them set at 1.5” of lift, leaving 1” of rake for towing and hauling.
something i noticed though- the driverside required quite a bit more preload, like .5” more, than passenger. i know tacomas got the lean, do rangers have that too when you add coilovers?
im guessing the stock shocks account for the weight of driver/battery/ gas tank?
just seemed like i had to crank alot more on the drivers side that i wanted.

ok, my spelling is wacked out in the title. i did have a few beers in this process.

Found the same thing with my DIY Bilstien/Eibach fronts. Had to dial in .350" more on left side than right.

On install, I thought I might have mismeasured or possibly gotten an out of spec spring but nope, it's the same lean that Ford uses a spacer under the left rear spring to combat.

You cannot. If you tell us what you want it to be one of the mods can edit it for you.

so thats 1.5”. debating on going to 2” or not. tires and alignment are at 12pm today. i feel tires will make the 1.5” look better. (265 70 17 terra grappler )

post pics of the new tires. I recently installed Bilsteins at a similar height. I was hoping to wear out the Hankooks before upgrading tires, but thats probably two years away at the rate I drive, so I’ll probably go ahead and bite the bullet.

i wasnt planning on tires yet, but got terra grapplers for 99 each so i couldnt pass it up.

all done
alignment was surprisingly not bad at all. caster and camber were good, all i needed was a tweak on the toe.
