Suspension finally installed

Got my Dobinsons front/ rear MRR (thanks @Crikeymike for solid deal and helpful information on getting it all together) along with Icon RXT leafs in middle configuration, Camburg UCA, and Timbren bumpstops. Also have some Durobumps I still need to put in the front. I think next I'm gonna get some sliders and perhaps do that KDMax tune everyone seems to be talking about, although I admit I am concerned about potentially screwing something up since the ECU is a bit beyond me. Anyway, really noticable difference over the stock suspension, and while I've only taken it on a bumpy back road so far the way it soaks up the shocks is fantastic. Also gained nearly 3" all around, but will see how it settles after a few more days.

 

Never heard of them looks great

 

looks great, congrats!

 

Maybe you heard of their snorkels?

 

Yeah I was saying that the other day, they don't seem like they are as well known as say, Fox, Icon or King, but they are solid quality at a comparably good price. Also nice adjustment capabilities on the remote resi

 

Very nice

 

Looks great glad your stoked

 

Nice! how much lift did you get from it?

 

Nice set up!

 

It's about 2.75" or so. These were both the extended versions of Dobinsons suspension, and the coils I put on were their medium weight version if I recall correctly.

 

Get the tune, just got it this past week and I couldn’t be happier! The extra HP and updated transmission along with everything else that comes with the tune has been amazing. No signs of messing up the ECU, and I don’t know if that’s even a thing.

 

Oh I'm not worried about the tune itself screwing things up, more the potential for me to do something wrong (accidentally unplug the cable while it's flashing or some kind of error like that) that would basically screw the whole process up. And from what I understand even that can be undone, it just requires like a hard reset and something like jumping certain pins. It's like, if I screw some other install up I'm moderately confident I'd be able to fix it, or at least would know where to take it locally to get it done for me quickly. Not so much with messing with the ECU.

That being said, I think I'll give it a shot. I've only heard good things about it, and the price is fairly reasonable for how happy people are with it. Which of the different tip ins that are available are you running?

 

Did you do anything else besides the lift? It looks great, don’t waste your time or money on a diff drop either. I just took mine off.

 

Hows the ride on pavement and freeway. Is it stiff or plush .thanks

 

What were your intial settings? I've got most of my kit and just waiting on a few more peices.

 

Sweet setup and welcome to the Timbren family!

 

It's fairly stiff right now, but that's the nice thing about all the adjustments for rebound/ high low speed, you can really dial it in

I just set it at the recommended settings that came in the instructions, but I'll probably mess around with them a bit. Thought I saw someone post some different settings in the larger Dobinsons thread

 

No that's basically it for now, other than small things I've done like adding a factory remote tailgate lock, Diode dynamics fog lights, and RCI skid plate

 

Let me know if you get vibes or not, just curious.

 

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that, I neglected to order the bushing however heard the vibrations could be hit or miss on some trucks, so far it feels very smooth at any speed. Will likely still do that eventually to avoid any issues in future, but I don't notice anything as of now
