Just wanted to give a shoutout to @Crikeymike and Dobinsons. Fantastic customer service. Mike was patient and answered every question I had promptly. He helped walk me through exactly what I would need for the look I wanted (slight rake when loaded) with some additional weight in the rear (drawer system + roof rack).

For the rear, we went with:

GS59-701
C59-325

And I'll be adding these front end components later on this month:

GS59-221
C59-300

I'll post pics when we get them installed. Thanks again, Mike!

Kind of a bummer...

October: requested & (promptly) received a quote
-> unfortunately, the front coils are sole out until late November

November: reach out again to see if the Black Friday deal is better than the T4R deal - it was - place order.
-> Accepted payment THEN notified me that the strut spacers are out of stock, so my order won't ship until mid-December

December 13: reach out again - it is mid-December, are we a go. Apparently, they are waiting on a container that is stuck in customs. No ETA given.

Mike has been nice throughout this experience and I realize there is only so much that can be done, but this is frustrating.
A lift from Toytec, though more expensive, would have been installed by now...

C59-302B
C59-505B
GS59-221
GS59-637
PS59-4030
PS59-4025

Looking for some rear suggestions. Currently running Icon Ext Travel 2.5 Coilovers up front and have those up to about 2.5" to clear 33s. I am currently running the Dobinson C59-327 in the rear with the Icon 2.0 shocks. However I am starting to notice I am getting a slight "bro-rake" on the truck.

I've currently got a full set of sliders, a full length Sherpa Roofrack, and an ARB 50qt in the rear. I am getting ready to add a full drawer system in the rear with an addition of a fridge slide. I'm thinking off switching over to the C59-677V to get me the 2.5" and the variable spring rate since I won't ALWAYS have the drawers full.

Thoughts?

I'd agree, the 677V coils would be ideal with that weight and still ride very well loaded or not. Just depends ultimately how much weight you add when you fully load up. Some guys end up adding airbags if they can't find exactly the right coil to suit unloaded and loaded weight

I have a very similar setup with my Fox suspension set around 2.5"-3", a Dometic on a slide in the back, and a full bed/drawer system. I have the 677Vs and I think they're perfect. Ride quality is good and they feel solid enough to add more weight.

Which hopefully they are because my rear with swing out is being built lol.

Here's a picture of the ride height with this setup.

Damn. Solid response boys! I know I'm going to need the support as I still have to load the truck up with all the usual camping gear when I roll out for a weekend. Currently the truck rides a *bit* harsh unloaded. Loaded up she drives like a plush Caddy. My concern is with the increase in static weight I'll get that lovely ride, but now I'm gonna drop the ride height.

Welp I'm sold.

I was told about the strut spacers on 12-4 and given a two week ETA, FYI.

EDIT: Arrived at my door yesterday or today, actually.

Could anyone with a V6 4wd paired with the c59-300 front springs (without spacers or extended spring perch) post a picture of the their CV's from the front view on flat ground? I'm curious of the CV angles.

I'm looking to get the 300's in front and 505 rear but my CV's are level right now with the suspension I have...so I'm trying to figure out if I'd gain any lift from them.

There's too many variables with height measurement to get an accurate idea - tire size, flat fender 4th gens vs round fender, v6 vs v8, etc.

It'd be appreciated!

Hopefully someone can chime in if they have those installed.

The front end diff housing and CV's are pretty good on these platforms, so with the lift that the C59-300's give, your CV angles would still be in good shape. They won't be flat like stock though.

Thanks for the input. Hopefully someone with the 300's will catch wind of this.

I've got the stock height springs (323's) in the rear right now. Would the 300's up front give me a reverse rake or level it? Not that I'd keep the 323's in - I'd look at the 599 or 505 but just to get some sort of idea of the height.

It could be more level, close to reverse rake though. It's what I suggest to guys wanting completely level for the street with all stock weight.

Doing it now

Edit: Can't send you a PM, probably because you haven't met the minimum post requirements.

Send me an email directly, [email protected] that way you don't have to worry about PM's.
