    Initial thoughts of the Dobinson rear springs: just as advertised lift of 1.5 inch, extremely smooth oem quality ride, and I can adjust the King shocks for more dampening :thumbsup: Very pleased with the quality of Dobinson :thumbsup:

    I'm keeping the Metal Tech springs til I get more weight in the rear.

    I'm assuming lifting the T4R is similar to the Taco in the front, but what about the rear? Can't be as simple as just springs and shocks, right?

    I believe so. I may have picked up a couple of things for myself today...from Santa of course. :santa:

    How about you? Will your Christmas stocking have a bulge in the form of a fly reel?

    Very simple to do the rears. loosen upper and lower links but do not remove, remove shocks, use spring compressors and get the springs out. Install is the opposite. Super easy to do and that's with KDSS also! :thumbsup: I don't understand why people say installing a lift on a KDSS 4Runner is difficult :notsure: It couldn't be anymore easier :thumbsup:

    Should be simple then, especially since I don't have KDSS. Just wasn't sure if there are any additional parts that need to be upgraded. Most likely going to lift 3" like I did with the Taco.

    Cool! I originally had it at 3" in the front and 2" in the rear but my 4'11" 65 yrs old mom struggles to get into my truck so I ended up lower it to 2.5" and 1.5" to help her out. :thumbsup:
