Shock absorbers Rough Country or Dobinsons
Reviews
I settled on Dobinson IMS, definitely a higher price point but worth every penny.
Pros: worth every penny
Cons: higher price point
Vehicle:
Toyota
Just change shock absorbers. I would very much recommend adjustable ones eg Dobinson. Bilsteins are great but they have very specific valving which has a lot of low speed damping, eliminating body roll but resulting in a bumpy ride under 60km/hr. At high speed they’re awesome. Some of the US spec ones have softer valving (5100s)
Pros: eliminating body roll
Cons: bumpy ride under 60km/hr
Vehicle:
Toyota
My MRR’s have the exact same symptoms. Also around 30k miles. Dobinsons is awesome and is taking it in on warranty no questions asked really. They’re the best.
Pros: taking it in warranty
Cons: same symptoms
Mileage: 30000 km
I’ve got Dobinsons MRA’s on my patrol - highly rate them! I’ve just finished a 7 month lap including the cape and Tele track. Being able to dial them was a godsend for corrugations, definitely helped to dampen the vibrations.
Pros: dampen the vibrations
Cons: rear bracket placement
Vehicle:
Nissan Patrol
Mileage: 23000 km
Got me some Dobinsons twin tube shocks and heavy duty coil springs. Totalling to 3’ of lift ✅ money well spent
Pros: money well spent
Happy to report Dobinsons MRA92-A2522 12” travel fit quite neatly in the Archive Shock relo. The 3-way adjustment and massive finned external reservoir are clutch. The ride is massively improved.
Pros: ride massively improved
Part number: MRA92-A2522
I’ve got the Dobinsons remote res shocks in my Navara. The shocks are real nice. Plenty of adjustments available.
Pros: plenty of adjustments
Vehicle:
Nissan
With that said the lift part of the kit . Pucks or springs are not bad , it’s usually the shocks they sell that are junk .
Pros: pucks or springs not bad
Cons: shocks are junk
Have installed a bunch of their lifts and shocks. Decent lifts for the price. Shocks I'm not that impressed with.
Pros: decent lifts for price
Cons: shocks not impressive
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
