    Hey everyone, I'm Mike Tomczyk. Lots of people have known me as ARB Mike, Aussiemike, @Crikeymike, and a bunch of other names. I worked for ARB for 11 years, and this year I started working for another Australian suspension company, Dobinsons Spring & Suspension. We have a 2016 Tacoma TRD Offroad that we are making new products for, so I will start a build thread and go from there.

    Anything you need from Dobinsons, let me know!!

    I bought a complete set of Dobinsons from Main Line Overland. MLO rebrands them as their own. Fantastic suspension! I didn't know how poor the original suspension was until the new kit was installed. I went down a dirt road last night and it felt superb. The truck now handles washboard roads and potholes with finesse. Really great ride performance. 2" lift with heavy load springs.

    Been thinking about getting in contact with these guys to do my 3rd Gen OR. Seems like everything I've read so far is positive. What sold you on these over the others? Any tips or additional info that may be helpful?

    They know Tacomas. They work on them every day. In front of the shop are 3 of their own rigs. Erik and the techs know how to install this stuff and which add-ons are really necessary. They are enthusiastic about what they do. I give them 5 stars. :thumbsup:

    They do have things well sorted on the Tacoma and 4Runners based on their social media posts. They are probably building more then anyone in the country right now.
