With the C59-599 in the rear with the comfort shock. Let me know what you think! Thanks
Yep, that's exactly right. I've sold that combo many times to forum members here, but I don't recall anyone's names.

Right now I don't have any extra weight, but I'm planning to add some typical stuff in the near future.

Since your truck settled at 1.5/2" did you consider adding 1/4" preload to the front?

Would it be possible to drive a couple hundred miles after the install to let things settle, measure, then jack the truck up and dial in some preload? I mean summer, pavement driving on clean dry roads so the threads don't get fouled up.
Perhaps, but you won't see if there's dirt or grit in there when raising the adjusters up. I'd suggest setting them to a higher setting first, then adding the weight like you said and it will come down then. Then you'll only need to set them during the first install and not have to adjust them afterwards.

Hi Mike, I placed my order for the IMS kit this afternoon. I missed your response here but worked it out over email to just have the preload dialed in at install. Thanks for all your help, I'm really looking forward to getting it installed and will report back with some numbers and pictures.

Finally got my complete IMS kit installed this past weekend. After a long wait for springs I went with 302 springs in the front with standard travel shock and 505 springs in the rear with the comfort valved shocks. I went from a Bilstein 6112/5150 set up so I dont have measurements over stock but the ride is more stiff and a much more controlled feeling and i am enjoying them so far. Thanks to Exit Offroad for the help and quick replies to any questions I had.

That's great to hear!!

You've got to raise your post count up so that you can post some photos of it. A lot of people ask for the comparison of the 6112's to the IMS, so you'll probably get a lot of people ask you about it in the future.

Hey Mike, looking to swap my 675vs with some 677vs now that I've got my drawers in the back full time. The 675v was great but sagged a fair bit when loaded down for a 10 day trip.

I saw they're available for backorder on Exit Offroad, but had a question. If I order a set on backorder now, is there any way to know/guarantee that they will be part of this June/July shipment you've mentioned previously?

As long as you order teal, as of right now there are plenty coming that aren't sold so you would get a set of those. First in, best dressed.

That is of course unless the ship doesn't sink from a megatsunami or something else. No guarantees for that reason.

Excellent! Thanks for the quick reply. I think I can handle teal springs haha. Currently have red, but they'll be covered in mud soon enough.

Any more info on that exclusive pricing in your signature....

Even though you don’t have before measurements from factory, could you provide measurements from center of hub to fender on all four corners? Which 4Runner trim do you have? Did you put anything to correct lean either way whether it’s the standard drivers side lean or KDSS lean? Thanks.

Hey Mike, do you expect a good amount of teal 300s coming in on this shipment as well? It looks like all colors of the 300s are currently cleaned out on your site.

Thanks!

There are a few sets of C59-300 in teal still available coming at the end of June, but I expect those to be sold within the next week

1 less - order placed! Thanks for the quick reply, and thanks for all the help in this thread.

(another thanks for the little memorial day sale to save a few bucks!)

Finally got to put my suspension parts on this weekend. Went with the 314 coils on 700 struts up front and 325s with 701 shocks and adjustable sway bar links in the rear. In posts many pages back now mike convinced me to go with dirt king fab UCAs. I'm a very glad I did seeing how you still can't get the dobinson ones and the dirt kings are made in USA so aint got to wait on a boat ride. Ordered the shocks and springs like the last day of the November 2020 sale and got them late February. Ordered the dirt king UCAs mid March and had them in like 4 weeks. Was able to use a friend's branick strut compressor to assemble struts so it was pretty easy. Have put maybe 30 miles on it, hopefully will get it aligned later this week. So far I'm very happy, rides so much better, doesn't feel like it's going to face plant when braking now. Stock springs didn't seem to like the bumper weight. I will report back with measurements once it settles a bit, but roughly 3"/2" like listed in spring info. Yes current lead times suck, but dobinsons products seem very high quality and mike is awesome to work with.
