OME vs Dobinsins

If you are focusing on how it rides on-road, I think you’ll love the IMS shocks. But you have to define comfortable for you. IMS will give you a more firm, well damped ride. It’s more firm, but not at all harsh IMO.

I aimed for 2.5/1.5 and ended up closer to 3/2.5 for a while before they settled into target range, so keep in mind they may run a little high.

My recommendation for a DD with weekend warrior duty is to minimize what you have to change. In other words, aiming 2.5 or less to keep as much stock as possible to avoid relocating swaybars or diff drops. A moderate lift will also preserve your down travel. Do your research into the potential problems that diff drops may cause!

 

Contacted Crikeymike and order placed today, everything was in stock.

update - the order shipped today 5/20, now that is fast, especially when I ordered the fronts strut/springs assembled, hope to get them installed over the holiday weekend.

 

Install complete and I am very happy we chose Dobinson's. Everything fit like it is supposed to and the ride is amazing.

 

What kit, parts etc did you get. Also, how is the brake dive and handling compared to stock system you had.?

 

This thread has the shocks/springs we ordered:

The ride is greatly improved, as is the nose dive. The 4Runner now rides a little more firm but comfortable....feels stuck to the road. Bobbing around/floating on the road and leaning in the corners is much better with the Dobinsons.

We also installed JBA UCA's and Spidertrax wheel spacers.

 

Did you ever get a response?

 

how is the ride holding up?
