Dobinsons 4th Gen Tacoma Suspension Options - all Parts

Hey Guys, time to start this thread now that all of the options have been released, and many are now in stock. Just waiting on some IMS and MRR struts and shocks to come in, but they're due this summer. Just like my other threads where I break down a vehicle model, I've made this one for the 2024+ Tacoma 4th Gen, and I will add or edit any information if things change.

ExitOffroad.com is the official Dobinsons dealer for TacomaWorld!!

Front Strut Mounts
SC59-022 - OE replacement strut mounts - ETA is September 2025, we haven't seen these yet to determine if they have upgraded upper washer/mount on them

Front Diff Drop Kit
DD59-644K - reduces front CV angles when lifted, and reduces excess CV wear at full suspension droop

Adjustable Rear Trailing Arms
These allow the rear pinion angle of the truck to be set properly once it has been lifted. They're also much beefier than stock
WA59-559K - Dobinsons Adjustable Rear Lower Control Arms
WA59-571K - Dobinsons Adjustable Rear Upper Trailing Arms

Rear Panhard Rod (track bar)

PR59-1421 - Adjustable length, new OE style rubber bushings already installed

Rear Sway Bar Links
SE59-591 - Adjustable length, OE style ends, maintenance free, needed for 2" of lift to correct sway bar angle so it doesn't inhibit travel and ride comfort

Rear Hydro Bump Stops
For those people who will be hitting it hard offroad, out in the desert, or wherever they may bottom out, a set of upgraded bump stops should be strongly considered. Adjustable height to control when the bottom-out occurs
HBS59-027FKK - Full kit includes the bump stops and the mounting kit

Rear Lean Correction Spacer
This can be used to correct a lean in the truck by adding 1 to the low side (15mm (0.6") thick, adds ~1/2" of lift), or add one to both sides to gain 1/2" lift on both sides
PS59-4035 - Fits on top of factory coil seat isolator

Complete Lift Kit Builder Pages
These pages show all possible options on one page for you to build a complete kit, with either the IMS or the MRR shocks.

Assembled Front Coilovers
Just like the previous generation models, we plan to offer complete assembled Dobinsons coilovers, but we have to wait until the strut mounts come in. Those will be for 2-3" of lift.

 

One thought. The adjustable rear panhard/trackbar. Correcting the distance to center the axle is not a solution. Yes, you can install the adjustable trackbar to center the axle, but the correct solution is to correct the angle of the trackbar, which should be LEVEL with the ground. For those familiar with the old school drag link on solid axle trucks, the steeper the angle on the drag link the more pronounced the bump steer. Same principle here. By keeping the trackbar level you minimize the side to side travel of the axle as there is movement up and down. This not only keeps the axle centered in the wheel wells, it keeps the rear wheels tracking directly behind the front wheels.

For more information see the folks at Dr. KDSS. I'm not affiliated, just a customer.

Yeah, that's to flatten the angle, and Dobinsons don't make every possible suspension option that could be bolted into this vehicle. What they do make, I have listed above. What I said above was this:

Rear Panhard Rod (track bar)
This is recommend with a 2" lift or more. It allows you to re-center the rear axle under the frame.

It most definitely centers the axle which is an issue on this suspension design that Toyota came with. I still have sold a lot of track bars to people that have that bracket but are still not centered. That all varies based on the lift height added.

 

I was on the phone with someone trying to build an order when I saw this post. I need to know how they ride. No one has hardly any information on these and it's impossible to find folks who have them on their truck.

I want to keep a soft ride but be able to run Forrest roads with mild whoops at 40 or so and not feel like I'm being tossed all over. I'm overwhelmed by the options.



Anyone with any insight?

 

I have 821V in the rear. They ride fine. I'm using the Dobinson shocks that came with the kit. I will be swapping them out for Ironman 4x4 foam shocks this winter. Your driving is much different than mine. I don't haul ass over forest roads.

 

I have the 821V in the rear of my Trailhunter that has an Alucab camper on a Bowen bed. I think I need a little bit more Spring for my set up, but I also think I might put the rear long travel in. The Trailhunter suspension did okay with a bed rack setup, but a fully loaded build like mine needs a different shock, at least in the rear. I hoped the OEM shocks could handle it, and it does feel nice off road but now that I have gotten some real trail time with it, it could use some improvement. The Bowen bed is only about 50lbs heavier than stock, but the Alucab setup is no lightweight setup.

I did Red Cone this weekend and my truck could definitely use a bit more clearance, a bit more travel, and new rear links. I bent one of the OEM ones
Going to order ASAP.

 

Any plans for the front? My front end went down 1/2" with additional front bumper and winch. Rides decently on road, but feels lacking off road.

 

On the 3G, the Ironman FCP shocks really soaked up the big whoops better than I ever expected, but they seemed a bit harsher than stock on normal road imperfections.

They did well enough that I'm considering them for my 4G.

 

I put some of the Dobinsons over my TH coils on the front and they worked quite well. Its the rear that feels extra floaty.

 

Wow, the truck looks so good!! That bed is really cool, I wasn't aware of those til now.

You bent a rear lower control arm? Or a sway bar link? That's nuts

 

Rear lower link/ control arm. I knew it would happen, I came down pretty hard on a rock. I did the same with the Fj a number of years ago. Just a weak point for a heavy build. How much stronger are these Dobinsons? Or I guess, do you know how much thicker they are? I used Metal Tech on my Fj but I am sticking with rubber joints on this truck.

 

Just had my MRR prototypes installed. I will be providing feedback for the initial 500 miles before I mess with the 3 way adjustments. So far, they ride like a cloud. No brake dive and less body roll. I just started a thread “Dobinsons MRR suspension”

 

Oh wow.

The Dobinsons are 5mm (0.2") wall thickness. I haven't compared them to the OEM, but they're usually at least twice the wall thickness compared to OEM. These come with rubber bushings too.

 

Which front spring did you choose? I don't see the video where you show what you did to your front end.

 

Here you are. They sat on the TH springs perfectly. https://youtu.be/-esuFehccPM
BTW, Toyota said my shocks were "misting" not leaking.

 

Great video, and good to know the coils fit the TH struts, that was surprising.

 

That truck bed looks epic. i want. but not $19k want

 

Yeah, my truck pays for itself so it made sense for me. I basically built a video production truck.
