Hey guys, I just realized I hadn't posted the info for these new shocks yet, and with some more just arriving in stock today, I wanted to share this post for anyone that's interested.
Dobinsons twin tube nitrogas shocks have been around for years, and with great results in ride quality and durability. Dobinsons now offers a new monotube option, with an internal resi, they're called IMS - Internal-resi Monotube Shocks. They also use IFP technology, meaning an Internal Floating Piston, which gives awesome ride quality at slow speeds, and excellent response at higher speeds too or whenever the shock speeds up in movement.
Here's the manufacturer's bit on the features of them:
Dobinsons IMS monotube shock absorbers are designed for next level performance over twin tube shocks in those hot, harsh, demanding conditions. By utilising the monotube design, Dobinsons IMS shock absorbers are able to resist fade far longer on corrugated roads, long or hard working 4WD trips, towing or racing conditions.
The larger 50 and 60mm high flow pistons reduce internal pressures, reduce the heat generated, transfer heat to the body for faster cooling and offer improved damping performance and vehicle control at higher shaft speeds on rough terrain and during big impacts. Threaded bodies on struts allow for fine tuning of height and offer further improvements in cooling. The micropolished, hard chromed and heat treat shock shaft, CNC aluminium high flow race inspired piston, and DOM seamless tubing body provides the ultimate in performance and off-road durability.
Composite piston wear bands, high quality Fuchs oil and a race style 3-stage sealing system offer the lowest levels of friction whilst maintaining durability and longevity without the need for frequent rebuilding or servicing. Dobinsons team of engineers spend hundreds of hours of testing and tuning the shim stacks and damping Characteristics in each IMS shock to ensure a balance of comfort, handling, vehicle control and off-road performance - Enjoy the ride
Just to clarify, the 80 series options are all 60mm (2.36") pistons with 66mm (2.6") outer bodies.
