5100s vs Dobinson Quick-Ride?

Mine is 2wd. No CV angles, no diff drop kit.
Maybe @Mack7n can answer.
But I think I read from him that CV angles were fine and no diff drop kit.

 

Truck came out really nice. Good luck with it ☘️

 

Yup CV angle is completely fine, no need for diff drop.

 

Initial plan was 5100s but seeing this setup I might change my mind. What are you guys averaging for front lift with the quick ride setup?

 

Curious what size tires you are running and if you have a ground to fender measurements. Thanks. Also are u on stock uca’s?

 

BFG K02’s 275/65/18.
Ground to fender— front driver’s side- 38”, front passenger’s side- 38.25”, rear driver’s side- 39”, rear passenger’s side- 39”. Yes on stock UCA’s.

 

How do my measurements compare to yours with the light load springs?

 

I am running 265/75/16. So my tire is about half inch shorter. forgot to get hub to fender and only went with ground to fender. I am at 36” in front. I have the 314 medium loads on the way. I put a 3leaf AAL in the rear and took the OL leaf out for a 1.5 lift in rear. I sit at 37.5 in the rear. Do u have a 2” block to gain a two in. Rear lift?

 

Yes. I used the 2” tapered blocks.

 

Looking good!

 

I am really liking this setup, strongly considering it.

 

I'm loving it so far. Got about 1k Miles on the kit, and have been extremely happy with it. The railroad tracks down the road from me, used to hit hard when going over them. Now, the truck floats over them w/o an issue. It does seem to handle the bigger bumps much better than the smaller ones by far, but I'm also running LT Rated tires, so makes a big difference in ride quality. I'm tempted to just go and buy a set of 4/6 ply tires to see the ride difference.

 

Dobinson site is a bit of a mess.... Not the easiest to put a kit together

 

I spoke directly with @eevaldes he was extremely helpful, and was knowledgeable when I wanted to change the kit around slightly to match what I was looking for. I'd suggest hitting him up for assistance, and he was prompt with shipping times, and good on price also.

 

Thanks brother!

 

Hey man! Yea, let me know if you have any questions on the different coil spring options available for the Tacoma. We have lots of experience specifically with Tacomas and Dobinsons suspension.

 

I'm close to pulling the trigger on the GTS kit and have two questions. Has anyone that installed this kit on a TRD OR needed to install either a trim packer or thin spacer on the driver side to make up for the lean? Are the rear brake lines long enough to handle the flex on a rutted trail?

 

Mines installed on a sport, not sure if there is actually a difference between the 2 trucks when it comes to the lean and rear brake lines. I don't notice the lean in mine anymore, and ive been doing a ton of off roading, with 0 issues.

On a side note, just purchased a brand new Kawasaki Teryx4, hauling it with a 6x12 trailer, and the truck sits perfectly level while doing so (roughly 2200lbs towing weight, and 400lbs tongue weight)

 

Congrats on the new SxS. I appreciate your input and the information that you shared here and in your other thread. It helped make my decision over the two other kits I was looking at. I'm also going to be towing a small squaredrop camper (700lbs + gear) and you just answered that question as well thanks.

I have a pm into @eevaldes and will be ordering this kit from them soon.

 

Glad I checked the site again, Dobinsons kit made it to top of my list.
Quick question: is there a "true" leveling option vs lifting both back and front 2" and how much $ would you figure to send a kit to Canada? PM is fine if you don't want to publish your rates publicly.

Thanks!
