Just swapped c59-185s in to replace the c59-167s. The c59-167s were perfect before when I was more stock.
C59-167 - 2" lift with stock weight inc 3rd row seat, 1.5" lift with 150-220LBS constant rear weight, linear rate (485/495mm free height...
Do they use a swivel joint where it meets the resi and the shock body? Maybe if it's a rigid mount, it came loose and could be tightened up, potentially saving from a rebuild.
If it's how the hose was crimped at the fitting, then that's...
Not my site. My site says this:
100 Series and Lexus LX470 (1998-2007) – Dobinsons C59-185 – 1.5″ lift, linear rate, with 440LBS constant rear weight
Same info as on the first post of this whole thread.
With less weight than listed, you'll...

Surely some of you have been running IMS for quite some time now. How about posting up some photos of them on your rigs? I'd especially like to see some of the earlier users of them, to show how they've lasted over time. I...
Updated the first post to all the updated information with all rear shock options, front diff drop kit, front sway bar relocation bracket kit, and rear hydro bump stop kit.
I'm running a similar setup:
Dissent rear as you have it, rock sliders, no skids though.
The C59-167 I bought 1.5 years ago generally ride fine, but having the car empty it sits fairly level (so hanging down packed...). Debating at the moment...
Here we go guys, here are all of the parts that Dobinsons offer for the new 2025+ Toyota 4Runner. Pay attention to the Hybrid and non-Hybrid options, as the coils lift different amounts between 2, since the Hybrid weighs more than the non...
If you run longer rear shocks than I have listed in the first post, then yes, you'll need to extend brake lines and bump stops. You'll be trading up travel for down travel, so unless you're rock crawling the cruiser, it won't be very beneficial...
C59-175V give 2.5" of lift with 220lbs added on and behind the rear axle. Sounds like you're probably 300lbs with the bumper and tire on the back. So you'd probably be 2-2.25"
You add up how much constant added weight you've got, then choose a...
A 3" front lift will definitely give you axle problems if you don't run the upgraded ones or if they don't provide a proper diff drop kit for it. They might not be aware of that problem.
I had a shop call me the other day to say their customer...
I had a 2-1/2" OME setup, bit of a harsh ride though. I am now on a 3.5" Dobinsons lift and 35s with the following:
C97-144VT front coils - 3.5"
C97-145VT rear coils - 3.5"
MRA45-A912 front 4" length shocks for additional travel
MRA59-A687 rear...
My son and I were going crazy trying to troubleshoot some clunking/poppings noises coming from the front end. I was worried it was the control arm bushings. Luckily I saw your post and checked the cross member bolts…viola! Clunking/popping...
Throwing this out into the mix, in case anyone wants to leave all the stock suspension alone but just lift the front 1" to level out the vehicle, or if the suspension kit you're waiting on has a long lead time and you want to throw something in...
The bumper and the mounting kit are sold as 2 separate SKU's now, and have been for most of this year. Tha price is only for the bumper, no mounting brackets or hardware, which is hundreds more...
Just added details for the new Powerbrake front Big Brake Kit coming out in July.

Hey Guys
