I'm wondering the same thing. I've heard great things about them on Land Cruisers but can't find much on the 3rd gens.
I had OME springs and bilsteins on my range rover classic and wasn't a fan of how they rode with no weight in the truck. So I'm looking for an alternative for my new 3rd gen.
I'm really curious as well. I've been disappointed by every shock over tried so far, they are all too stiff, but I heard that twin tubes are soft... So I'm curious
Also waiting for any real world feedback from anyone that has gone this route w/the 2" kit for 3rd gens. I've heard praise from a Toyota off-road mechanic. I went to search online, but can't find enough user info to confirm. I'll continue the search and post any links I may find.

I can see the rear travel is slightly greater than the Bilstein 5160, but haven't been able to confirm travel on the fronts Bilstein 6112. I'm stuck in deciding between Bilstein vs Dobinsons. Anybody have experience based recommendations either way? I've had a mechanic speak to the smooth ride of Dobinson's, but other than that I haven't heard enough Dobinson's user feedback.

Jross's Shock List 6112 4Runner and Tundra versions compressed and extended lengths confirmed on the chart.
I can only speak for the Dobibsons rear coils. The progressive one (137v?) that lifts 2.5 inches. Mated with bilstein 5100. I like the springs a lot. I probably have a constant 150+ lbs (rear cargo setup with some gear, 90lb bike rack, and a cargo box). Loaded up for weekend it rides level. I could use stiffer shocks for on road as that’s the majority of my driving. It’s a wonderful set-up for off-road though. I wouldn’t be afraid to go with the dobinsons if they are stiffer shocks. my .5 cents...
I just ordered the light /med 2" coils springs. frt & rr. will go with Bilstein 5100 shocks. I'll review once installed. But coils are sold out at Exit Offroad. Said they are coming from AU won't be in US untill Nov

I'm interested in getting these as well. Are the part numbers for the springs you ordered C59-276 (front springs) and C59-131 (rear springs)?
