good to know re Dobinson springs. I looked at Eibach also. I'll admit I like the stance of the Pro's and thought the TRD Fox kit would already have the any adjustments for left/right and I was able to download the install instructions that come with it. Was definitely waiting to find the right discount and use up some Toyota rewards points to make it more budget friendly. Don't do any major off roading here, mainly fire roads and some dirt/rock roads to camp sites on the New England coast for now. Oh and miles and miles of bunker sized pot holes.

If you want minute adjustability the Dobinsons should offer it.
For the rest, I am not sure what people find in the Eibach kit, is it threaded? if so, it could be what you need. But for offroading, those are small shocks and in the rear they are also short. Even 1" lift is noticeable in rock crawling--in a bad way. I have a pair of rear Eibachs for when I need to rebuild the 8100s.
If you don't need minute adjustments, what I have but on the regular springs will give you plush ride quality. You cannot push 6112 on standard springs hard offroad w/o making the bump stops work too hard, but for fire roads at normal speeds and for choppy pavement, they are perfect on the regular springs.
The only 1 thing to pay attention to if getting 6112s is that they changed the location of the notches on the shock so that one shock can accomodate multiple vehicles. What this means is that you may get a lot more lift than expected if the installer/you do not pay attention. It happened to me a month ago when I replaced the previous 6112 preventively. The new ones came on the same settings but gave me like 1.5" extra lift. That was not fun to deal with.
But assuming they are assembled at the correct height, 6112 on standard springs seem the ticket for you. I use them with stiffer springs which make them more capable offroad and less plush on road.
Good luck!
