    I like his video too. It's not my daily so I may just play around with it, build up some custom spacers or so.

    @Crikeymike i was about to call you when I pulled the factory setup out and notice my IMS set at 3” was the same length. My gut told me to trust it and after install I sat it down to measure and sure enough right at 3” perfectly.

    Mike, I couldn’t be happier. It rides just like I wanted it to the lift is perfect and I had zero headaches. Minus the upper control arm bolts. I can’t thank you enough.

    That's great!!

    The length a coilover sits in the box doesn't dictate the lift height at all. It's spring rate, length and coil seat height that do that.

    Glad it has worked out so well!!

    I figured as much. In my head I thought there would be a noticeable difference in the two side by side.


    I really like the way it drives with the new suspension. Super glad I went with this kit.

    Figure I'd post this here too:
    Adjusted the 3-way Dobinson MRA suspension.

    Found out that the rebound on the passenger side adjuster was missing the little metal ball bearing :frusty: Thankfully, I was saved by my kid's magnetic toy! These work perfectly! :cheers:

    See them at Walmart here Speks Magnetic Balls 2.5MM

    It's complicated.
    I just ordered a Dobson's full suspension kit and need to know if anyone has a recommendation for where to take it for a 4 wheel alignment. I'm west of Portland, OR. Thank you.

    Can't get a 4 wheel alignment on a truck with a solid rear axle. Don't let a shop tell you otherwise, they're just taking your money at that point.

    Replaced my front with new spring/shock, about 1" lift.
    Just mark the alignment cams with a paint pen and get them back to that measure.
    Post install alignment shop didn't change a thing.

    I took my truck to Big Brand tire after I installed everything, and a year later everything is still good. Think i paid like $50.

    Needs a better alignment with more caster most likely.
