Dobinson leaf's for your rear and their struts made for it. I did this for my Tacoma and absolutely love it.
Dobinson leafs and rear struts give me 2-2.25inches of lift depending on the weight in the back. 0 issues with the Dobinson leafs, no squeaks, comfortable ride and 0 sag.
Swapped out the Toytec Aluma Boss 2.0 for Dobinsons MRR long travel in the rear & extended travel up front. Added Dobinsons billet UCAs and 600lb rear springs. Night & day difference in ride quality on the 2+ hour drive home
Dobinsons ims is awesome. Multi stage valves so you get a soft ride without compromise to the handling which is difficult to achieve
I went with Dobinsons twin tubes on my GX470 and they’ve been great. Pretty comparable to the sport setting on the OEM shocks I’d say.
Personally I went Dobinson MRAs which have handled outback travel and tough tracks. Some prefer them revalved but mine is heavy enough to work well with them. Unlike their springs it seems to be a decent product.
I ripped them out the same week and went for Dobinsons MRR. Honestly? Night and day. The ride is smoother on-road, planted in corners, and off-road they just eat up washboards and corrugations. I’ve hammered them through tracks that would’ve rattled the Bilsteins to death, and they haven’t skipped a beat.
I settled on Dobinson IMS, definitely a higher price point but worth every penny.
I originally went with 5100s and an inch block and hated the leveled look on my truck. I instead went with Dobinson leaf's and their version of struts made for 2 inches of lift so now I'm 2x2.
I bought these new in the box got them installed today and both struts immediately have problems. I replaced my old N3 struts that made the truck ride terrible and with all 3 dials set to the softest setting it rode about the same if not worse than the N3s.
I see all the dobinsons positive remarks here. I've also had good experiences, but at the same time on my 80 I had the yellow nitro shocks and those are the only shocks I've ever had leak on any 4x4.
