Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - from Exit Offroad

[SoFloT4Run]

Closer to 2" in the front. I have not measured since the install, about 2500 miles ago. I will re-measure to get an exact number.

Hub to fender please. I have a sudden interest in these coils. thanks!

Basically 2”, no noticeable lean... With the 599's on the rear, there is still a slight rake, which I personally prefer.

Thanks for the measurements! Its crazy how you pretty much got 2in of lift when its advertised as a 1-1.25in lift. Truck looks great!

Mike has already given me some great guidance, but hoping to see some real world examples. 2016 TEP non-kdss. Adding shrockworks bumper in coming weeks but no winch. Current recommend is 300/599 combo with standard length shocks/struts. Looking for the 1-1.5" lift range. How do the 300s handle front end weight?

Anybody heard from Mike at Dobinsons lately ?
I sent him a couple of PM but haven't heard back. Vacation Maybe?

I replied to about 10 PM's yesterday, but haven't received any from you. Send me an email instead, link in my signature.

I'm here this week, but out all next week.

Mike, are you planning on having any specials for black friday? I am looking to go a little taller in the front.

Just slapped a little lift kit on. So buttery, a single tear was shed. C59-300, C59-723, twin tubes front and back. Keeping about 100lb in the rear for a bit to help the springs settle.

Beautiful. What type of springs did you go with?

Nevermind. C59-723. Duh.

Looks good. Are you still running 265s? Also, did u go with the comfort shocks on the rear? If so do you recommend them with under 100 lbs in the back?

Anyone feel free to chime in. :wave:

Thanks mate. Tires are 275 ko2s and rear shocks are the softer ones, GS59-705. I’ve read the rear should settle by 0.25-0.5” so I’m helping this along with two dumbbells in the rear temporarily. But to answer your ques yes I recommend, setup is butter w unloaded rear as well

Awesome! Sounds like overall you are roughly 2” lifted over stock. Taking into account for a slightly taller tire and lift. Plus from what I read you get a bit of extra load carring capacity.

Anybody from Los Angeles /SFV, Know of a shop that is capable of installing my Dobinson suspension ? The local shops out here only do Jeep.

Also what is the average cost of your installation including alignment.
I was quoted 650 with alignment and they said it might take a day and a half.
sounds like a little much.

Mike D - You think using the C59-505 - Stock rear end load, 1.5" lift. 405/405mm, 17mm wire, 220LB, would be almost identical to the KDSS spring of
C59-723? paired with the softer valve of 705 shock? @Dobinsons_Mike.

I want to raise about 2 inches all around. Keep the rake the same. Use the same C59-300/GS59-700 in front. Minimal constant weight, non-kdss.

Just had the C59-300 & C59-599 installed. Front gained exactly 1.75" both sides as advertised. Rear got 1.875" & 1.625". It doesn't look terrible, but I was really hoping for only 1". The ride is great. I have them paired with 5100s. VTX wheels with stock size tires.

Anyone know if the top caps and hardware Dobinsons uses will take a top plate specer? Just incase i add a low pro and want to get my lift back.

Looks good. What clip setting on the front 5100s?

Got a similar more-than-advertised lift in the back with the 599's initially. Stick one or two of your stock tire/wheel's in the trunk for 500 miles. Got mine to settle to the advertised height.
