Dobinson or Eibach

I've been looking at Eibach, toytech boss, elka 2.0 and now Dobinson. More i research don't know I need coilovers. Rather set it an forget about it. Majority of my driving 70% road, rest logging roads, hunting, few light offloading adventures. Was only looking at 2/1 or 2/2 lift for my needs, will add full plate front bumper under 150lbs. Looking into Dobinson hard know over Eibach.

 

Yes, the C59-352 with the GS59-220 will get you the full 3" up front.

I've been on here for a few years now and am just the go-to guy for Dobinsons and all the options for the Taco's. You want sour cream too?

 

What is in stock vs what's on a ship heading here from down under?

 

No 302 or 314 coils are in stock, due in 2 months. All other Tacoma coils, struts, and shocks are in stock except the front IMS.

 

Wow, you never offered me the sour cream.

 

@Yellafellaaa
Dobinson 314 springs with 220 struts and shocks
Dakar med leaf pack
Ecgs bushing
spc ucas
Head strong 1/4 inch strut spacers each side give it a 1/2 more lift up front
Carrier bearing spacer
Diff drop
sema rims
Ko2 285/70/17 about 32.7 inches high

Do not like the Dakar med leaf pack had to put one inch blocks with them to obtain a little rake. They sag a bit for me. Will def go with rear dobinson springs soon

 

Did you install everything yourself? Was it difficult ? How does the suspension compare to the stock suspension ?

 

Yes I’ll take some for my Taco haha.
What is the difference between the 314 and 352 coil? Besides the 352 being able to carry a heavier constant load since both the coils are rated the same lift height. Would both coils be the same lift with no constant weight?

 

The difference is the spring rate, but yes they both sit at the same height

 

@Yellafellaaa i did not do any of it. I had place do it didn’t want to mess it up. I was worried mostly of the alignment.
The rest seems easy enough. The stock was pretty hard. I think my ride now is perfect.

 

I was trying to do it all myself. It seems like a lot to handle. It might be awhile before finally have a lifted taco.

 

I got together with some AL TW guys and they helped me do mine. This was the first time ever dealing with suspension. It's all holding together
Although, I did forget to torque the back driver lugs and sheared off those studs......was a $250 lesson learned

 

Well when I’m ready I’ll signal for help for some TW guys to come haha.
And ouch. That sounds like it hurt. I hope that doesn’t happen to me. I’m the type of person to forget something too.

 

Definitely check the GA thread. I'm sure there's guys that will help. I was just tired and got careless. Lesson learned I'm just lucky that it didn't actually come flying off the truck while I was going down the road. I was in a parking lot when I saw the tire wobbling

 

I know a lot of Dobinsons coils are sold out right now, but there's a price increase next week, October 1st, on all coils!! Any orders placed until then, even if they're on backorder, will still get the current pricing.

Just a heads up!!

 

Reviving an old thread but I’ve got the Dobinsons MRA rears on my truck and couldn’t be happier! Also ordered from exit Offroad and Mike is extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things.

 

I went Dob's. Here's my post about what used for my set up.

I just got the Eibach stage 1 kit on with Icon RXTs in the back. Don’t think you could go wrong with either though!

 

Eibach stage 2R
3 inch lift in the front, 1.5 in rear.
