Dobinsons 2nd Gen Tacoma Suspension Options

Thanks! Just want to be sure.

 

Finally got the truck set up with the 3" Dobinson's kit + new leaf's in the back + UCA's:



Very happy with the results especially after 75k on a rusty east coast stock suspension. Stiffer ride of course but feels beefy - like a real truck now. Mike @ Exit OR was very helpful with getting me set up. Highly recommend this kit.

Some before and after:







Didn't end up using the CV boots if anyone needs:

 

Looks sick. I'm installing my mrrs this weekend coming up stoked.

 

Thanks, also stoked - can't believe I waited this long to lift the truck but at the same time glad I did my due diligence. Now I can really enjoy it.

 

Made my own greasable bolts so all three are greasable now.

also, aligned last week in time to get em dirty this weekend:


Also, if you’re doing springs make sure your e-brake cable doesn’t look like this. The existing bracket doesn’t reach the threaded hole in the spring retainer and if you do what I did, make sure you bend the bracket for a smoother transition. Honestly you can probably cut it off with some tin snips potentially. At the short distance from the adjacent restraint it’s mot really doing anything. Might also be able to ad a standoff and longer bolt to attach to the provided install point:

 

Just want to say thanks to @Crikeymike for getting me these such a great dude to deal with.

Still have to raise the ride height a bit once my Deaver leafs show up.
But the drive home after install impressed me rides great and noote nose bombs hitting bumps. Can't wait to to try these off road.

 

Looks great! What coils did you go with? are you looking for 2 or 3 inches of lift?

 

I went with the C59-354 coils and the MRA59-A220's shocks. Right now sitting at 22.5 center of hub to fender witch is 2.5ish of lift but wanting more towards 3 inches. So I'll crank the height up once I get my Deavers in. I was gonna do it yesterday but was just getting to tired to more work so I left it

 

Awesome, I saw your posts on IG over the weekend. You've got more stuff on your ride than I do!! Guess I need to blow some dough on my 4Runner now. LOL

 

always spend more money lol

Question mike so you guys set it at 218 and 213 mm, when i first got it together i was at like 2- 2.5" of lift and now after driving around for a day and a half im only at 1.5" of lift, whats the max i can lift that seat up?
thanks

 

Max lift on IMS/MRA is 3.5"

 

What about the pree load is there a max measurement?

 

Not specifically, but coils can hit a level where they won't give any more lift once they're preloaded to a certain level.

The most I've had some set to was 230mm, using shorter coils to achieve the height a customer was after.

 

Awesome thanks Mike!

 

First trip out with the lift this past weekend - rode like a dream on everything from rocky trails to ripping on desert washes:



Stoked

 

Great to hear!! Got any videos of the truck in action by chance?

 

Just emailed ya.

 

What size tire are you running? And can you include what PN's you purchased to achieve this look?

 

tires are stocker size 265's since i was running them pre-lift.

@seminariii do you have additional weight up front on your truck? Also, are you running a spacer on just the drivers side or both sides?

I just ordered the same set up. I currently have a 3inch spacer lift up front (on my 08 AC 4x4) which looks great but I’ve been worried on wether or not I’ll be able to achieve and hold that same height with the Dobis.

Awesome truck btw.
