Dobinsons 2016-2023 Taco Suspension Options

Do the Dobinsons coils fit the OME nitrochargers ?

 

Yes, they do. Both are made the same as OE with a flat top and pigtail bottom

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

How high do the 111R leafs sit unloaded?

I'm looking to upgrade my leaf pack for tow support, but am concerned about the ride height being too extreme while unloaded

 

I have a DCLB. Mine went up 3.5in unloaded.

 

Here is a picture of of mine.
Only about a week after installation.
Tires are 265/75 R 16.
Hope it helps.

 

The best color

Did you do extended brake lines with it having that much rear lift?

 

3.5? ARB states it should be closer to 2 inches

 

To my understanding it's only 2" w/ 600lbs of constant load

That was my concern with using it for tow support. With the trailer coming off and on, a 3.5" lift in the back is pretty massive

I think the 110s provide 2" lift unloaded & up to 200lbs constant

 

it is nowhere near 3.5 inches on a 3rd gen. EL111R can handle 200 pounds or so before the 2 inch lift it provides starts to sag.

 

The stock lines aren't too bad since I didn't get the extended travel shocks.
Mike at Exit Off-road is very knowledgeable if you have questions.
I did order the 2 inch longer lines as a "just in case ". Just don't have them installed yet.
I'm going to give the suspension some time to settle. Then decide later.

 

24.5 to 24.75" is what I've received back as hub to fender measurements on an empty 3rd Gen with L59-111-R springs in. That's 2.5-2.75" over stock on a DCSB.

 

I honestly don't know much about the OME but it looks like the EL111R are their Medium Duty leaf pack?

The L59111R from Dobinson are their HD pack. The L59110R might be more comparable to the EL111R from OME

 

my bad I didn’t realize which leafs you were referring to. You’d think I’d realize you meant Dobinsons…long day, sorry

 

Awesome, thank you! Any experience with an ACLB? All the measurements out their seems focused on the DCSB

 

I believe ACLB should yield similar lift results to DCSB due to comparable weight. The only oddball is DCLBs, which weigh significantly more than their shorter counterparts and are therefore lifted less. My 2015 (2nd gen, I know) DCLB netted about a 2 1/2" (+/- 1/16") rear lift with L59-111-R leaf packs.

 

I know that the L59-110-R only give 1" of lift on an ACLB with no weight, and 111R's give 2" with stock weight. 24" hub to fender.

L59-111-R's are what I recommend as the base option for someone with a long bed wanting 2" of lift.

 

That's very helpful information, thank you.

If the 111s sit at 2" on stock weight ACLB, and I'm expecting ~600lbs of additional bed weight, should I plan for the leaves settle closer to 1-1.5"?

Ideally I'd like to get away with a more conservative coil up front to avoid alignment issues. Can the 302 or 300s work with a loaded 111 setup?

Thanks again for your insight on this, its much appreciated

 

Probably about 1.5". The overload leaves would engage when carrying more weight to support it. They're pretty strong leaf springs.

The front coil selected depends on what struts you use. Some add lift, and some are adjustable height too. 300/302 are both the same spring rate.

 

I'm getting roughly 23.5" on my ACLB with only my Diamondback and minimal gear for added weight with the 111R springs.
So you are pretty much dead on.
Also about 23" up front with the 352 coils. Granted I haven't gotten off my butt and installed my plate bumper and winch yet.
