Nice video. Looking to replace my stock shocks on my 2024 Tundra and install Rough Country M1s to make the front end level. Trying to locate the Torques on the hdwr what is removed for this job. Do you have recommendation on where I can find that info?
Great video wish this was available when I got mine . I beat myself up putting them on haha . I see u have ur rear reservoirs upside down that’s different than mine . Wonder if it matters . What settings are u using on road and offroad on ur high speed low speed if u don’t mind sharing
I have this same exact setup on my 2022 tundra. Getting noise in the front and I think it’s the sway bar. The original owner didn’t install the drop kit. Hope this fixes the problem. Investigating more soon and installing the kit when they get it to me. Thoughts? Thanks
I have the Westcott and have been eyeing the Dobinson’s IMS. I thought the 3/1 would make it level, but is the 3/2 actually level? Also my truck is a street queen with the exception of a few camping trips and fire roads a year. I know it’s not optimal, but could I get by with stock UCA’s?
3/2 does leave you with about 3/4" to 1" of rear high rake, so 3/1 will definitely be closer to level, but trucks do come with some rake for good reason. You are more than likely not going to be able to get it aligned back in spec with the stock upper control arms, so technically you could get away with it, but you will probably wear out your tires pretty quick and it probably will not drive down the highway well due to the positive camber and low caster you will more than likely be stuck with.
The wheels are a 17x8.5 ET0 Fifteen52 Range HD and the tires are a 37x12.50 BFG All Terrain. The owner did a little trimming to the lips of the plastic fender flares and to the liners, spaced out the bumps a quarter inch, and they mostly cleared.
Ive read leak issues with the CV when adding spacers. I'm pretty new and still reading but with the Dobs kit you dropped the swaybar but do you also need to drop the axles as well?
Technically you should probably be doing a diff drop on these Tundras with any extended travel coilover or you need to get the TRD spec axle shafts. We did not see any bind at full droop with this set up but it was close enough to where if there is any movement through the soft bushings that mount the front differential, you could be in some trouble.
@ShockSurplus thanks! I was considering the trd cv's but I'm not going crazy offroad just bringing up some space for some larger tires. On a budget, I think the 1.75 level with a dif drop is the route to go. I take it since those will cancel out for close to factory geometry the sway bar drop won't be necessary? Also, I love the channel. Edit, icon says required for any lift over 2.25 so I think I'm good?
If we are being honest, we really do not like the whole idea that X lift means you need a differential drop. If a coilover has enough travel to cause CV bind at full extension, it does not matter how much lift it is set for because the suspension will still extend to the same point at full droop. Sure it will be less likely to fully extend when set for less lift, but the possibility for CV bind still exists. We are usually anti Diff Drop but these Tundras seem to really need it and at $150-250 it is good insurance.
Dobinsons recently released their IMS 2" lift kits for the 198+ Silverado and Sierra 1500s. No MRRs yet and they haven't done anything for the older trucks, but I would not be surprised if some parts are coming soon. With that said their are tons of other options available for GM Half ton trucks and SUVs of every generation so if you give the team a shout, I am sure they can get you set up with something you'll love even in the absence of something like these MRRs. www.shocksurplus.com/pages/contact-us
Suspension lift will NOT fix fender rub issues. Body lifts/compression stop extensions will. Nothing short of lowering the travel range relative to the fender will fix fender rub issues.
Yup, without limiting up travel, trimming, or body lifting, you wont fix bump rub, but good suspension lifts that increase droop travel certainly are a good "solution". If lets say you need to space your bumps to reduce upward travel by an inch to clear a set of tires, if you have a suspension that allows it to sit 3" higher with 3" more droop travel, you still have 2" more travel than stock. Or you can do like we do and get out the cutting tools LOL

Did you install the insulation from the OEM rear coil springs to the new dobinsons 2 inch coil springs? If so... Is it required? Ty
Did you take out the arm in the rear when you did it or leave it on?

text our guy Jeff who owns one of these Tundras, he has some insight real time - 213-433-3616

@@ShockSurplus Thanks so much for the response and explanation
Where are Dobinsons shocks manufactured? I know they make all the springs in Australia but I’ve never seen any mention of the shocks.
Same thing with the shocks! All of their stuff is made in Australia
@@ShockSurplus Nice, good to know. Thanks.
I been waiting for this kind a Video and now cannot wait to installed mine. What size of Wheel & tires are in there?
The wheels are a 17x8.5 ET0 Fifteen52 Range HD and the tires are a 37x12.50 BFG All Terrain. The owner did a little trimming to the lips of the plastic fender flares and to the liners, spaced out the bumps a quarter inch, and they mostly cleared.
Great video ! how much for that complete kit ? thanks
between $3-4k, depending on your options and UCA selection
How was the alignment?
went into spec without a hitch
@ love to hear it when a lift kit doesn’t make the front geometry impossible to correct

Do you do any on the 1500 GMC ✌️🙏🇨🇦🇺🇸
