Just finished an 11 hour install. New 5100's all the way around with Dobinson stock height springs. It definitley gave me an inch or two because my old springs were the original so they were saggy-baggy.

I repaired a damaged brake line (my fault) from when I did the brakes too so it was a full day. I also replaced my front swaybar links since they were leaking..

Alignment scheduled for Monday. Really happy so far. Thanks for all your help Mike! A+

Anyone with 300 or 302 front springs care to post a hub Center-to-fender measurement? Preferably 2006+ V6 but I’ll take anything.

My front has a Daystar leveling and rear has 599. The 599 took my rear up 2” from stock (my springs must have sagged like crazy). I have no idea how much lift from my current setup a 300/302 setup would give me and I’d like to figure that out.

Mine are being installed Wenesday, I'll post pictures and measurements as soon as I can. I have a stock 2007 V6, and I sit on 19" hub to fender on the front right and 21" on the right rear before. I am thinking of 255/75/17 tires on stock rims, unless someone can give a valid reason not to.

why get bilsteins and not the dobinsons matching struts?

I'm not sure what you mean? Dobinsons doesn't sell struts..

He means the shocks. They are much nicer than the bilsteins IMHO. I've had them installed for over a year now.

Ah, well I asked Mike if he sold the Bilsteins and he said no. I didn't know they made their own. The ride is great with the Bilsteins, I'm happy with it.

ya but why not go with dobinsons shocks? price? did you already have them installed and just picked up springs?

just curious....

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.

C59-300 (Teal, red or black)
C59-302 (Teal, red or black)
C59-314 (Teal, red or black)
C59-599 (Teal, red or black)
C59-505 (Teal, red or black)
C59-325 (Teal, red or black)
C59-327 (Teal, red or black)


C59-675V (Teal or black)
C59-677V (Teal or black)
C59-701V (Teal or black)

Of course, we would prefer to sell the teal for branding reasons, but so many of you this year have asked us for a color choice, so here you go!!

NOTE: the optional colors are not listed in the catalog, and are not sold on Amazon or Ebay.

Just put my order in today for my 05 v8 sport for some TRD red springs. Mike was very helpful and quick on the responses.

Thanks Mike!

I had stock springs, and put 302 on the front, and got 4”. But I had 150k on stocks, so I may be 2.5 over stock due to sag. I put 505’s on the rear, and got almost 3”. The ride is fantastic and the truck sits level.

Any dual-rate coil options for the front end? Maybe a 600/700 coil or 550/700?

No. We tried 3-4 times to make it happen, but it just wasn't working well, and with not much difference between the 2 rates, it seemed not worth the time to make them, so we scrapped the idea.

Maybe not so crazy? Stock front springs for the V6 are 13.4” long, the 302’s you put on are 15.55 inches long. That’s 2.1” difference at roughly the same spring rate (580 OEM vs 586 Dob) and with the 4runners front suspension multiplier of roughly 2:1, that would equal about a 4” lift. @DobinsonsMike can you shed some light on how Dobinsons came up with the 2.5” lift estimate given the above info? Thanks!

Here are some shots of my new setup.

It's Dobinsons C59-350 w remote Resi in the front, and their C59-677v in the rear.

Perfection. Very supportive, good ride height.
