Dobinson IMS worth the extra grand over Bilstein 6112/5160?

    Hey guys,

    I'm planning on ordering my suspension set up Monday and have been waffling hard on which set up to get. I'm looking at a Bilstein 6112/5160 setup and a Dobinson IMS. I'd be using the Dobinson heavy duty leaf spring package with both. I was leaning towards the IMS set up but with it being almost a thousand dollar more I'm wondering if performance wise it's worth the extra cash at this point. Any opinions would be appreciated.

    For the front, no. Bilstein 6112 is hard to beat. Rear end, 5160 is good, not great.

    6112 front and 8100 rear would be amazing. But I've never tried it or seen it.

    Appreciate the feedback. I've been leaning more that way, especially since I've been thinking I should probably get UCA's as well.
