Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - from Exit Offroad

Hey guys, my name is Mike Tomczyk (aka Crikeymike), owner at ExitOffroad.com. I've been in the 4x4 industry since 1998 and have always preferred to focus on suspension for 4x4's, since it's something you'll feel every single time you move your vehicle, whether driving to work or home, or offroad for the weekend. Everyone has their own build plans for their vehicle, so no same combo of parts is necessarily right for everyone, which is why we offer such a variety - to get you exactly what you're looking for!!



I've been blasted with a lot of questions recently about our suspension offerings for the 5th Gen 4Runners, so I figured it's time to make a specific post about all that we offer. We can lift anywhere from 1.0" to 3.0" with coils and struts/shocks, and we can put together a specific package for whatever you want/need, including the added weight you've added to your vehicle.

Public Notice: Stock/New hub to fender measurements average out to 20" front and 22" rear, and all lift heights are based on that. Many people have 1/2" variance based on age and how the truck came off the assembly line. This video here shows you how to measure your baseline and lifted height:





Added Load Weight.
How much extra accessory weight have you added to your truck? Did you add a 150LB front bumper and an 80LB winch? That's constant weight, and will change which coil to buy.
Did you add our drawer system (hopefully) to the back end (150LBS) or a steel bumper with swing out tire carrier (200LBS)? That will also change which coil we would suggest.
You will want to consider that weight before ordering. If you order a heavy load coil without a heavy load, be warned that it won't ride as it's supposed to and the lift height will be incorrect.

Contact me directly if you have KDSS and I can walk you through our options for that. FYI, vehicles with KDSS should add our 15mm spacer (PS59-4025) onto the rear passenger side to correct the lean that usually happens on 1.5" or more of lift in the rear.

Full suspension builder page is here, with every part number and option offered for a 5th Gen 4runner:

Note: Vehicles with KDSS should be lifted no more than 2.5" in the rear or you will probably have a lean that you cannot correct unless you add additional parts like these: Treaty Oak KDSS Spacer Kit

Front Strut Options
GS59-700 - Twin Tube, fixed mount (not adjustable), suits 0-2.5" lift (555mm extended, 432mm compressed), can be used on stock height or lifted vehicle, use with OE or aftermarket coils, coil seat mount same as OE
GS59-574 - Twin Tube, fixed mount (not adjustable), extended travel (22.63" / 575mm extended, 430mm compressed), use with 2" coil to get 3" lift (coil seat height is 13mm higher than OE, resulting in ~1" of lift). Using this with a 3" length coil would give 4", so not recommended. Diff drop kit is required to run these, as CV's will bind at full down travel due to the extended length.
IMS59-50700 - IMS Front Struts - suits 0-3" lift - 560mm extended, 420mm compressed
IMS59-50574 - IMS Front Extended Travel Struts - suits 2-3.5" lift - 575mm extended, 430mm compressed

GS59-575 - Twin Tube, Long Travel, suits 3-3.5" lift (3" bump stop spacers recommended so shocks don't bottom out). 730mm extended, 425mm compressed. - Cannot be used with KDSS
IMS59-50705 have been discontinued and replaced by newly revalved IMS59-50701 shocks
IMS59-50701 - IMS Rear Shocks standard valving - suits 0-3" lift - 598mm ext, 389mm comp
IMS59-50575 - IMS Rear Long Travel Shocks - suits 3-3.5" lift (not for KDSS models) - 720mm ext, 438mm comp
MRA59-A701 - MRA 3-way adjustable monotubes - suitable for 0-3" rear lift. 609mm extended, 389mm compressed

Dobinsons 3-way adjustable MRA struts and shocks have their own thread, here: Dobinsons MRA - 3-way adjustable struts/shocks w/resi - 5th Gen VIDEO LINK

Diff Drop Kit
DD59-527K - required with 3" lift, could also be used for 2" to 2.5" lifts if desired to correct CV angle. The extended travel front struts will cause CV bind at full droop if a diff drop kit is not installed

Rear sway bar extended length end links
SE59-529 - Suits lift up to 4". Uses factory style ball joint ends, gold zinc plated. Repositions rear sway bar to original position to remove stress from the rear end and correct the amount of wheel travel. VIDEO LINK


Front UCA's
UCA59-002K - Front UCA Set with Senkei 555 Ball joints - Pair of replacement upper control arms to fix alignment issues with 2.5"+ lift heights. Use OE type rubber bushes on the frame end, and replaceable high angle ball joint on the wheel side. 38mm OD tube, 5mm wall thickness (0.2") HSLA steel. Fixed caster of 3 degrees built in. VIDEO LINK
UCA59-202K - Billet aluminum fully adjustable UCA's with 555 ball joints and OEM grade rubber bushings - Full Video


Front Strut Top Caps/Hats
SC59-001 - New upper caps - don't waste time pulling apart your old strut assembly just to get the cap off, buy new. Or better yet, we can assemble the units before shipping so you can install at home faster.

Front Top Mount Strut Spacer - new February 2019
PS59-4030 - Single 1/4" machine alloy strut spacer, anodized black, suits almost all Toyota's from the 90's to current. Drilled with 2 bolt patterns to fit multiple vehicles. 4Runner 3rd, 4th, and 5th Gen. All Tacoma's 1998 to 2023. All GX470/460. All FJ Cruisers. Can be used to correct a vehicle lean if one exists, or to add one to both sides to add 1/2" lift.



Rear Coil Spacers
PS59-4025 - Single 15mm Poly Coil Spacer to correct vehicle lean - recommended for vehicles with KDSS, install on the passenger side


CV Boot Kits
High clearance CV boots for the outer or inner position of the front shafts. High quality materials, includes all new grease and clamps - great for lifted vehicles with higher angle CV's which are prone to boot failure. Boots have better designed bellows, less likely to rub and make contact with each other for longevity.
CV59-554K - Outer CV Boot Kit
CV59-557K - Inner CV Boot Kit

Comparison of stock to the Dobinsons CV boots installed


Front Bump Stops
BS59-560 - Adjustable front soft hit bump stop made from high quality rubber, Suits 0-30mm Extension


Rear Bump Stops
HBS59-010FK - Complete Hydro Bump Stop Kit to replace the factory coil isolator and internal bump stop, CNC Machined 50mm Billet Aluminum Piston, EDP Coated 3mm Thick 56mm Steel Body



We stock these parts in Miami, but if we were to run out, or have to make a special order, or custom make some coils, they would ship from Queensland, Australia.


What we get the most demand/requests from customers is our 3" front and 2" rear (leveling the vehicle), or 3" front and 3" rear progressive/variable rate coils with long travel struts and shocks. This will give the most travel and flex with just a few extra components needed. We also have options for 3/3", 2/2", 2/1", 2.5/1.5", or whatever lift height options you want to run. Lately, 2" front and 1" rear is very common (300 and 599 coils).


Added 8/29/17: Here is an album I just created trying to collectively gather all the photos I can of installed Dobinsons products. I'm showing the part numbers used and lift height gained, where possible.
Check out gallery here

Update 12/15/17.
Bring on the kicking and screaming from those who have already bought.....

Due to popular demand and an amazing amount of requests, we have brought our most common 4Runner (and Toyota) coils to the US in 2 additional colors. Red and black. Now these part numbers are available (depending on stock) in classic Dobinsons Teal, TRD Red, and/or Black, depending on part number.
