    Couldn’t have said it better. The issue comes along though when you have people who don’t know that they are meant to be rebuilt.

    Interestingly enough the Dirt King shocks are made by ELKA and tuned by Dirt King. Sort of the same idea with Carli Suspension and their tuned Kings.

    Adventure Motors in KC is installing MRR's and 285/75/17 tires this week. Looking forward to sharing photos after I pick it up.

    Did my first trail with the new Dobinsons, I really like how they handled at speed and while crawling. Really good control overall. IMG_3308.jpg

    MRR’s + the OTT tune have made this an entirely different truck.

    I’ve been toying around with different settings but lately been running 5 lsc and hsc front and rear, 2 turns rebound front and rear. Seems to be pretty good for me.

    Had my Dobinsons for about 10k miles now and they ride even better now than out of the box. I found a nice spot where it’s stiff but also takes bumps like a champ. Honestly been much happier with them than I was anticipating.
