Dobinson's springs, 5100's, Mevotech Supreme UCA's..

Just finished installing Dobinson's 500-800lb leaf packs w/their greaseable bushing kit and C59-314 front coils w/ 5100's set at 0 and 5125's at the rear and Mevotech Supreme UCA's & LCA's. I had 159k miles on the previous lift (5100's at 0 w/Eibachs & rear TSB) so an upgrade was long overdue...and my eibachs were each broken in several spots...

Out with the old... TSB springs w/hellwig 500 helper springs



9 years and 159,000 miles...5100's outlasted the Eibachs


In with the new.. Dobinson's springs, Mevotech Supreme UCA's & LCA's









Before lift installation.



After leafs installed.


Installation complete.


Couldn't be happier with the results. 2.75" gain in front and a full 3" in the rear. After settling/break in period I'm hoping for 2.25-2.5" with a slight rake. The ride is noticeably stiffer as I expected be but the truck handles great and no noticeable vibes. Time will tell but the quality of the Dobinson's springs, bushings, and hardware appear top notch! Looking forward to putting them to the test! Shout out to Crikey Mike at Exit Off Road for the pointers and great service.

 

New calipers too or paint?

 

New calipers

 

It's been 2 years how has it been holding up? Any sagging? What are your measurements as of now?

 

They haven't sagged.. I'm at 2.5" up front and 3"/rear. The stance is exactly what I wanted with zero lean. These springs are for real.. Ya they are stiffer than my Eibach's but far superior IMHO. And yes, they can carry some extra weight as you can see. (that's about 1500lbs of birch hardwood flooring)

 

Nice looking truck. This is probably the route I might have to go to. How's the ride quality? Does it absorb the little bumps on the freeway well?

 

The ride quality is stiffer than stock. You do feel bumps a little more but its not overly rough. Handling is much improved as well. Very little body roll and highway ride is much better IMHO.
