Great video, I just did my install yesterday. A few things I noticed might be off in your instructions: 1. Don’t grease the rear shock bushings since they’re rubber. 2. Torque for the bolts at the front and rear of the Dobinsons leaf hardware is 90 ft lbs (you provided oem torque)
@@CanadianCruisin just fyi, on my dobinsons extended travel front i found the brake and abs lines to be borderline too tight at full droop and full wheel lock. I bent a few brackets to resolve that. Also, check your clearances because my sway bar makes contact with the outer tire rod at full droop + mid to full wheel lock. In the rear, at full droop, the brake cables are very tight, too tight for my liking. Also the diff locker cable is tight by can be lengthened by bending the top mounting bracket. Safety first! I checked for cv bind at full droop and full wheel lock and did not feel or hear anything.
What is the video when you review the road and offroad performance of the Dobinsons compared to the Bilsteins? I find the Bilsteins to get unsettled over cement cracks and washboard. Is this better?
Great video, very informative! I really like the dobinson lift! I installed an ADO RC killa lift on my 23 Pro4x, but I’ve been looking at the ADO Fox 2.0 extended travel kit but now you got me looking at other options!
@@02PSU I’ve got some installation videos on my channel if you wanna see how I did it! For the price you can’t beat it imho. But I will say the recoil of front springs is a bit aggressive, and it’s quite the task taking the old springs off and putting the new springs on the shocks. But yeah overall it’s a pretty solid lift, and I love the ADO UCAs, just make sure to grease them!
Sorry for all the questions but did you guys put longer bump stops in the rear? The dobinsons shocks are 1 inch longer at full compression than the bilsteins. Just curious if you guys measured that and considered it? What bump stops did you go with?
Which coil springs and leaf springs did you install? Part numbers... Also, why did you go with the 800 lbs leafs if you have no added weight in the rear?
I can't remember the parts number but it's the heaviest front and rear they make. I plan on adding a few more things to the back which will add quite a few pounds so figured go heavy right away and won't have to worry about it later.
@CanadianCruisin yep I'll contact them regarding a few things. I'm still trying to find a 3rd party that can finance me since I'm planning to do prinsu, cbi and lift altogether.
All that into it and you haven't done the rear diff breather mod yet? It's the first thing I did when I go my truck. Less than $50 and it'll possibly save you thousands....
@@curtshelp6170 that depends on how much you're willing to cut off the fender to make them fit. You won't be able to go much larger than stock without rubbing
Good work - please another video after about a year of wheeling with your thoughts about durability and value for the $3820 invested in parts

I couldn't find the dobinsons specs so thank you very much.

@madoxx1911 thanks for the heads up I'll definitely take a look when I get a chance.
Good job. You mentioned it’s getting new wheels. If your wheel/tires are different size make sure to have them on before alignment
You bet. That's why I kept the stock tires on while the suspension settled. Then the new set will go on with the alignment
Awesome video nice detail.
Thanks 💪

Quick question can I used King shocks or fox 2.5 I prefer those brand but doesn’t show have anything for Nissan 2023

Also you saved yourself a lot of trouble buying the coil overs pre built. I learned my lesson, that’s what I’m doing next time 😅
@ApexFrontier once I did my mustangs springs a few years back I said never again lol
@@CanadianCruisin yeah it was so sketchy
How do you like the RCKilla lift? I just bought with new UCA’s from ADO.

Looks really good .. did you need camber bolts for the lower control arms for the final alignment?
Yes I added the cam bolts to the lower control arms
Nice video. THInking of this Dobinson or the Extended Fox kit from ADO for my 2023.
So far no complaints with the Dobinson

I havent changed the bump stops on mine yet but I may in the future.

Where did you buy the kit? Shipping a little $$ here in BC.
You can get it from Beacon Offroad.

@pat__pro4ex27 yeah it all adds up quick when it's done at once

It's coming. I also have the warranty so if it breaks its a free fix anyway
How does it drive after the install.
Little stiffer on road but nothing crazy. Speed bumps you feel it in the back. Other than that the same
What tires are you planning to run?
Mickey Thompson baha boss
@@CanadianCruisin What size will this lift clear?

@@CanadianCruisin Too bad. I was able to go 32s on my 2019 Colorado diesel with an Eibach leveling kit and it made a great difference.
Canada is hell on the undercarriage of a vehicle. So glad I don't live in the salt and rust belt.
hey bro do you happen to have a twin brother ? lol
I'm starting to think I might because you're not the first one to ask that question lol
And the plot thickens
