    Redoing the suspension on the 2000, has anyone run their lift kit? Seem like Dobinsons is gaining steam on the 3rd gen, but haven’t seen anyone run some on the 1st. Curious about the pros/cons of those who’ve run them!

    Everything but the driveshaft. B03A - 410
    Seems to be very popular with 80 series Land Cruiser, followed by the 5th gen 4Runner, 100 and 200 series Land Cruiser. Noting the product is made in Australia and should be adopted there first. I run the lift with their IMS shocks on my 100 series and love them.

    I like the Internal Floating Piston Monotube design over twin-tube. Pensky (no connection with Dobinsons) describes the difference in design and the price difference reason.

    I've seen people buy a brand new 200 series and immediately replace the OEM suspension with Dobinsons IMS/MRR monotube.
