    I did. I went with their MLO kit which is a collaboration with dobinsons. I've had no complaints so far. I'll be going back soon to have them remove a leaf from the leaf pack because I'm currently rocking an empty bed, little bit of a rough ride.

    thanks again. if you dont mind me asking...why dobs vs bilstein or fox or? dont need extensive details, just bottomline. wondering if you had neg experience with these other brands? cost? shop convenience? lift size? etc?

    any info helpful as im debating options. have read extensively about fox and bils, but never heard of dobs until MLO website.

    I knew I wanted some sort of lift for my truck to make it more functional and for looks. For me, I'm not trying to drive 40mph off road or do rock crawling so I didn't need a stage 4 or whatever mid-travel suspension kit. So mostly cost. I also didn't want a cheap body lift setup, I wanted a full suspension lift for reliability and functionality. The Dobinsons kit is a good middle of the line kit, in my opinion. I've only had the setup for a few months but so far I like it.

    I think Dobinsons is an Australian brand but their product seems to be of good quality.

    John over at MLO in Hooksett has helped me out a bunch on trying to decide what setup to go with.
