I have the standard twin tube nitrogen shocks with their UCA's and I love them. A little harsh when the truck is empty, but it rides like a Cadillac with 4 people and a couple hundred pounds of suitcases
Pros: rides like a Cadillac
Cons: harsh when empty
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I just slapped the full dobinsons nitro 2" lift on my 2006 sport with their confort/stock feel springs. Was about $1600 which included the rear coil conversion kit. Installed it myself on a saturday, then got it aligned at a shop. I previously had 5100 struts when I was sock height with the airbags for about a year, and the dobs shocks are noticeably better.
Pros: noticeably better shocks
Vehicle:
Lexus GX
I also just went through TreatyOak for a Dobinsons twin tube. 2.5 up front, new UCA, rear bag delete(1”) and 1” springs. Sitting nice and level.
Pros: sitting nice and level
If budget isn’t a factor I have dobinsons ims front and mrr rear on my 100 and it’s super comfy. Nearly as nice as the factory ahc system, maybe just a tad firmer.
Pros: super comfy, tad firmer
Vehicle:
Toyota Land Cruiser
Dobinson is where it's at. Rides sooo smooth
Pros: rides sooo smooth
Went with Dobinson 3” coils, struts and shocks (heavy duty shocks for the rear). Truck feels planted now, a good bit firmer and much of the dive is gone.
Pros: truck feels planted, firmer
Cons: much of the dive is gone
2021 Trail Edition Dobinson coils/struts Dobinson shocks/add a leaf and Geolander 295/70-18’s. I’m 100% happy with the height, the ride and the look.

My wife had gone to the dealer because she felt she had no brakes. In addition to the brake job, they also replaced all 4 shocks and 2 front top plates and right and left front ball joints.
Vehicle:

Bought these Dobinson shocks and coils in October, photos are in May with service records indicating only 2,000 km of driving! Within 5 months these are looking like they wont last 2 years.
Cons: wont last 2 years
