Shock absorbers Dobinsons or OLD MAN EMU

I'm on a 2" IMS setup and relatively stock weight. They are "firmer but less crashy" than stock, if that makes sense. If you're loaded they're extremely nice. They're also a dream on dirt and gravel, and the low speed dampening is still strong enough that they don't compress too much when hitting harder rocky obstacles.

I have the standard twin tube nitrogen shocks with their UCA's and I love them. A little harsh when the truck is empty, but it rides like a Cadillac with 4 people and a couple hundred pounds of suitcases

I switched out to some medium Old Man Emus on my 2014 Limited after the stock XREAS system started leaking at 120k. Rides great and the slight lift allows me to get onto some steeper trails without worrying about pulling my front bumper off.

Old man emu are the best. Just fit those and thank me later.

I just slapped the full dobinsons nitro 2" lift on my 2006 sport with their confort/stock feel springs. Was about $1600 which included the rear coil conversion kit. Installed it myself on a saturday, then got it aligned at a shop. I previously had 5100 struts when I was sock height with the airbags for about a year, and the dobs shocks are noticeably better.

I also just went through TreatyOak for a Dobinsons twin tube. 2.5 up front, new UCA, rear bag delete(1”) and 1” springs. Sitting nice and level.

If budget isn’t a factor I have dobinsons ims front and mrr rear on my 100 and it’s super comfy. Nearly as nice as the factory ahc system, maybe just a tad firmer.

Dobinson is where it's at. Rides sooo smooth

Went with Dobinson 3” coils, struts and shocks (heavy duty shocks for the rear). Truck feels planted now, a good bit firmer and much of the dive is gone.

Glad you ruled out old man emu. I have them on my 100 and they are rough!
