    Just looking for some feedback and takeaways from the two. Specifically Foam Cell Pro's vs. Dobinson IMS on front and rear shocks. TIA

    I'll give the Dobinsons IMS shocks two thumbs up. They ride good, have nice build quality and are revalveable so you can customize the ride if you want. I can't comment on the difference between Ironman & Dobinsons but I had previously had Bilstein 5100 and Eibach Stage 2 coilovers and I prefer the Dobbi's to both of those. I was impressed by them enough to sell the ADS coilovers that I was going to install and use the extra cash for something else.

    I’ve been very happy with my Foam Cell Pros. Only suspension I’ve run besides stock though. I’ve heard good things about Dobinson’s as well.

    I've had the Dobinsons IMS and C59-314 coils on the front for ~10,000 miles. I have zero complaints they ride great on the road, and perform very well off-road. Very well built as well IMO. They hadn't released the rear IMS shocks for the Tacoma when I bought mine so I had to opt for something else on the rear(5100's). I plan to swap them out for the Dobinsons rears at some point. For the price point I definitely think they are hard to beat.
