Dobinsons IMS Struts and Shocks - Adjustable Height Monotubes - 2nd/3rd Gen Tacomas

Front IMS came back into stock today. All backorders will be shipped next week.

 

Got a heads up from production, rear IMS shocks are in production now and should be here in 3 months or so. I'll update the thread here when I get more details and a better ETA.

 

Any update on rear IMS shocks?

 

No official ETA yet

 

Dang these rears are taking forever. I’ll be ordering a set of fox rears for now since one of my Icons are blown.

 

Got everything on yesterday, getting it aligned ASAP. Seems to respond well off-road on rough terrain. Seems a bit more stiff than my Icon setup but I also went with 700# this time over the 600# I had with Icon in preparation for a bumper and winch.

 

Hey, any word on the rear IMS shocks?

 

Not sure why they're on the way first, but the extended travel 941 IMS are on the water, and should be coming arriving in early October. Still no date on the standard 940 rear IMS's yet.

 

I'll set my calendar. I've been waiting for these to arrive before I swap mine out.

 

Just added them to the website today so that people can place backorders if they want.
Specs are on each page there.

I have a few questions about the front struts, the IMS59-50220. I see that they’re extended travel over stock.

1) At full droop could the angle be bad enough for the CV to bind and do you need to run a diff drop to prevent this? I’d set the spring seats for no additional lift, just 2” from the coils.

2) Is the compressed length longer than stock (do you need to adjust front bump stops)?

3) Are there any issues with running these with stock UCAs? Conflicts due to the extended travel?

Any info is appreciated, thanks

 

Hey bud, to answer your questions:
1. No, a diff drop kit is still not required.
2. Fractionally, so a long bump stop is not required, unless you'll be doing the type of driving where you do bottom out often (aka desert running, etc). Then upgraded bumps should be added anyway.
3. You won't get the extra articulation/droop with stock UCA's. You have to run aftermarket arms for them to get full extension. The stock arms could also hit the coil at full droop since they don't have the clearance that aftermarket arms have.
