Dobinsons lift

[Sgb020]

I need some advice. I currently have bilstein 5100’s on all four corners at 60k miles on them. I want to change out my shocks with dobinsons twin tubes with 2in dobinsons standard springs in the front and a 1in dobinson springs in the back. I plan on adding the dobinsons upper control arms as well. Should I go with the 2in or 2.5 springs up front? I was hoping the dobinsons twin tubes will be softer than the 5100’s or would the twin tubes be a downgrade? Any advise would be much appreciated!!!

I don't think too many people are running twin tube Dobinsons in the States. I changed out 4600's for Dobs IMS and they are not as harsh as the 4600s over choppy roads, which is what I was hoping. Dobinson has a thread for 4th gens here on the forum, you might pose your question there, Mike will probably respond.

My dobinsons twin tubes are almost as comfortable as stock. Be sure to get the extended travel version because if you lift it with taller springs, you will lose down travel, which will give you a harsher ride.
