hey mike. i’m looking to buy some coils from you. do you have the 302s in red in stock? if so, do you have any active coupon codes?
Dobinsons 5th Gen T4R Suspension options - lots of choices
Order placed . IMS 2/1 lift. Currently have a slimline bumper/winch and rsg sliders.
Mike, was debating 2/1.5 vs 2/1. What do you recommend to level out but keep some of the rake when loaded? I usually only carry the kids and some cargo.
Thanks, J

2/1 should do the trick for you. 1" of rake is usually enough on these models, that's what I have on mine.

All the variable rate coils are only for 3" of lift, and then different rates of them to support different weights.
We don't offer linear versions in 3", so there's no comparison to be made.

Yes they are compatible. Those 238 coils are not normally stocked anymore though. The shortest height front coil is the 296 that's normally in stock.

Hey Mike!
As the IMS are based on the MRAs, are the compressed/extended lengths the same?
Thanks!

Hey Kevin,
Yes, extended are identical. The MRA compress the same as the twin tubes. The IMS compress a fraction longer than both because of the IFP, like 5mm or so.

Pulled the trigger on the Dobinsons 3/2 and UCA’s. Can’t wait!

I swapped out my C59-327 for the C59-677v. Boy, it was a pain installing the driver side coil. Unbolted the LCA and had to use spring compressors to get the taller coils in. I added a full steel swing-out bumper (300lbs) recently which caused the C59-327 to sag and thought the 3" 677v would alleviate it. The 677v gave the rear a very marginal lift but rides much smoother over bumps than the 327. I'll probably just lower my front coilovers to even out with the rear. Don't want to think about uninstalling the 677v and and ordering the 701v or 749v coils, at least not yet. I'll probably do full out do a long travel rear the next time I swap coils again. That would mark my 8th time changing out my rear coils lol.

Did you get it solved? What did you do?

No not yet. Honestly I haven't opened the little bag. There's 8 pieces in the bag. I watched Mike's control arm video but he skipped over the abs line quickly.

I’m not sure how much if at all this picture will help but here is now line is attached. I had mine installed by a very well known shop in my area.
Looks like just they attached it with one of the nuts in your picture to me.

Yes this is how it goes on. I don't know why there was that little bolt in that other bag. From memory it was just washers and nuts before.
