Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - from Exit Offroad

I think the medium/heavy load description is reversed in the first post, as the 314 springs are 10mm taller with the same rate as the 302. That would make the 302 the medium load, and 314 the heavy load. This is my lay-person assumption, but I do have a set of 314s sitting in the garage to replace my 300's (on 574 struts), now that I have a slimline bumper/winch (and pre-existing skids and dual battery)

Thanks, do you have any pictures of your current setup with with 302s?
I've got 300/574 struts in the front and 327/701 in the rear... My driveway is sloped ever so slightly downward, but the truck definitely has a notable rake to it

I think i'm going to go with this setup:
C59-302/GS59-700
C59-505/GS59-701
Dobinson UCAs
Once some weight is added i'll reevaluate if I need to go with C59-325s in the rear.

A year and five months is long enough. I ordered.
If you order direct, they give you a 5% discount!
What did you end up going with?

I ordered from dobisions. Not sure if it was discounted. My total was $880 before shipping.
Dobinsons 2.0" to 2.5" Lift Kit for Toyota 4Runner 2010-18 - W/KDSS × 1
Front Springs:
C59-302 - Stock front end load, 2.5" lift
Rear Springs:
C59-723 - Stock rear end, 1.5" to 1.75" lift
Front Strut Options:
GS59-700 - Twin Tube, fixed mount (not adjustable), suits 0-2.5" lift
Rear Shock Options:
GS59-701 - Twin Tube, suits 0-2.5" lift.
I ordered black struts and requested black coils with a second choice of red. Hopefully if any labor day deal pop up they will award it retroactively.

Nice! Similar to what I went with. If I can recall, you had back pains. Have you considered the more comfort valved GS59-705?

Na I'm going to add steel eventually. Plus I don't want to get butt saggy when I have all my gear loaded.

You could still use the 705, you'd just need a higher spring rate when you add the steel! You'd probably change out the spring when you get the steel rear as the 723 is intended for stock weight.

Yup swapping out front and rear coils once I go steel. Prob in another year or two. Beauty of choosing dobinsons.
No black coils for the front so black struts and teal coils all around.

Ok- after two weeks of searching there is something that I can’t find anywhere.
What I’m doing to my truck:
I’m getting King Shocks front and back w/adjusters (opting for the 650 coils up front)
Bought my Warn Zeon 10k S winch
Ordered my Southern Style Slimline Front bumper
I have RCI sliders
Now, I don’t carry anything in the back like a fridge or drawers. I do carry stuff when we camp and tow a little 17ft Casita camping trailer every now and then.
My stock shocks level out perfectly with the trailer connected.
I have read multiple post where people thought the Dobinsons OEM were too stiff.
What is my best rear coil option to keep it as close to stock as possible with a 1.5/2 inch lift? Also, need to take into account KDSS lean.
My Ride: 2017 TRD Off Road with KDSS. 90% daily driver who wants overkill for that 10 % for off-roading.
By the way, I’m amazed at the depth of knowledge by users on this site!

Hoping you could help me with my lift. Not sure what I need. I either want to level or do "2 inch front/1 inch rear". But want it to be as close to 100% even. I would have gone with bilstein's (or equivalent)on all 4. But the weight of my westin grille guard makes it harder to solve. Drops the front more than I thought.
The goal: Have an even lift to accommodate 275's with negative offset rims/spacers. What is the best way to accomplish this? Below are some measurements I took.
