    Like the title says, ditched my eibach stage 2R for the Dobinsons MRA setup.

    I’ve put about 20k miles on the eibach setup and I just wasn’t a fan of it. It always rode rough (coils were set well below the recommended 99mm coil seat height). If I could go back I would’ve definitely went the 6112/5160 route as I’ve rode in many trucks with this setup and I think it’s just a much smoother ride on and Offroad.

    Now to the Dobinsons. Holy crap. What a night and day difference. These struts ride so smooth it’s amazing. I don’t have many miles on them yet but it’s a huge improvement from the eibach setup. I’m still rolling on an Icon 1.5 AAL, but that is soon to be replaced with a Dobinson or Deaver pack.

    Stage 2 is def garbage compared to 6112. Dobinsons are great suspension.
