    I installed a set of heavy duty Dobinsons springs on the front of my 2020 Tacoma a few weeks ago and I love them. Very high quality stuff from Dobinsons.

    It seems like those Dobinsons provide more balanced flex than the Kings. Great comparison.

    Nice setup! I've got a 3rd gen 4x4 4runner, 5spd manual... I've been doing some research and think Dobinsons is great; however, they don't have the presence that other companies have here in the United States... I sure hope that changes! They seem like an awesome company, with great options for the off-road community! BTW...New subscriber, thank you! I like the video clips you have here. Great content!

    Hi.
    I am going to install IMS suspension with 2" lift and 30mm spacers.
    My tire size is 265/65/R17
    I hope this is sufficient to prevent any rollovers.

    Are those the Dobinson mono tube or the twin tube?

  • @mongkulburey
    @mongkulburey 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So dobinson spring rate for the front? Rear? I know you said heavy duty, but can you specify it. I can only find front spring rate at 160-300 lbs and rear spring rate of 400-700 lbs. what did you used? I like your set up.
