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 really not good at all.

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 get more lift.

Updated the first post's photos and info. Added the LT rear shocks as well

Bumpity bump bump 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 get that question all the time.

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.

Front diff drop kits finally came in for the 250 Series. DD59-644K - Diff drop kit for Land Cruiser 250 and 2024+ Tacoma

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 spring that suits that weight range and the lift...

Pull one off and check if there's an OEM part number stamped on the inside of them, then you can google it to see if someone sells them.

Yes. Base model axles don't have good articulation in the CV joints themselves but the TRD Pro axles do.

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 has gone thru 4 sets of axles because he lifted it...

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 real quick...
