Hi Doogie. Which brand if airbags have you put in the rear springs. I’m looking to do something like this for my Grenadier as sitting a bit low at the rear when loaded for overlanding.
You’ll laugh, they were the ones that fitted best from the stock in Stu’s workshop. I’ll get the details on them. They are a good fit but he had Airbag Man and two other manufacturers products. And we still straightening the steering at 6pm Friday night so ran out of time to get that minor detail.
Wow - that sits high! I'm sure some of my fellow countrymen will love that since it looks like 35s and maybe 38s will fit without issue.Hello,
Eibach seems to be working on other kits:
Eibach Facebook :
"Sample our pro lift kit.
This Kit Raised the Grenadier by 2.5 " front and 1.3 " to rear.
Since will testing this kit the final numbers may change later on but it shouldn't deviate too far from that."
The difference between the front and the rear is reminiscent of what we did on the Defender 110 to put them back horizontal
It remains to be seen if it retains its flexion and compression capabilities...
When is the offset of the Panhard bar, the length of the brake hoses.
It remains to be seen now the choice of shock absorbers with a stroke in line with this extension.

I saw in the FB comments from Eibach the two different heights were to level the truck as you thoughtHello,

Isn't this counter-productive in a working vehicle, where the rear height accounts for load capacity? To me, it sounds like this new 2.5-F/1.3-R kit is for the Toyota saggy-rear-end crowd, or worse - mall shopping.
Shhhhhhh no one carries a load around town
I don't disagree. It's easy to see both sides, and if performance isn't an issue, I think a leveled truck for the bulk of the time looks better.
Respectfully disagree.
I hate to say it but for 95% of people buying a grenadier it is really based on looks. Very few need the capability vs what a 4Runner is capable of. I know for me a 4Runner would do everything I will do with the Grenadier. I would level that also. I generally don’t carry a lot in my truck. When I put the Fridge in it didn’t move, when I climbed on the back I lost a quarter inch. Bikes don’t make a difference at all. I don’t tow anymore, got a van instead. I don’t foresee putting a palate of brinks in the back. For me I would rather have the front end up an inch or two. Is it vanity, maybe. Is it functional, yeah, raising the front end gives another inch or two under the bumper.
Time to start watching those In-N-Out double doubles!
