Dobinsons Shock absorbers

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.

Pros: firmer but less crashy
Vehicle: Lexus GX

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

Pros: rides like a Cadillac
Cons: harsh when empty
Vehicle: Lexus GX

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.

Pros: noticeably better shocks
Vehicle: Lexus GX

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.

Pros: sitting nice and level

15K later and all my RC shocks really do is keep my springs from falling out when flexing. Otherwise, they do nothing.

Pros: keeps springs from falling
Cons: otherwise, they do nothing

N3s are garbage, they rode so bad I thought I was going to wreck the truck, made the truck walk all over the road at any little bump. I ended up buying a set of bilstein 5100s and the truck rides great now. 2016 4x4 crew short

Pros: truck rides great
Cons: rode so bad
