    Dobinsons MRR Shocks

    I ran MRRs for a few months. I made the switch from BP-51s. The MRRs had much better large hit damping than the BP-51s. Not surprising considering the larger bore/piston. I wasn't as happy with small bump compliance for the front shocks. Regardless of damping adjustments, the front always...

    Help With Rear Spring Selection

    Exactly my experience as well. I have around 800-900lbs static and the rear was too soft with the 547 springs. Even through the fender to hub measurement at 23" was pretty ideal, the vehicle just felt too soft in the rear when going over bumps, etc. I swapped to 549s a couple of weeks ago and...

    ADGU vs Trekboxx

    I have been running the Trekboxx Bravo for 4+ years now. The craftmanship is fantastic and have had zero issues. The Bravo weighs 200lbs empty.

    Build 2021 LC200 HE Build (Sven)

    I pulled them off upon taking delivery of the vehicle. They are boxed up and sitting on a shelf in the garage. Realistically, I will never use them. But, going to keep them for now.

    Build 2021 LC200 HE Build (Sven)

    The 549s feel great. They have the same free length as the 547s, but have a spring rate increase of 50lbs. I did gain about 5/8" of height in the rear versus the 547s. Overall, very happy with the change.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Swapped the rear springs from Dobinsons 547s to 549s. Also installed a new set of bags as my old set was leaking. Truck feels more balanced and composed with the higher rear spring rate.

    Build 2021 LC200 HE Build (Sven)

    I ground the outer edge of the front bump stop smooth and I am not running the front bump stop. I have Durobumps in the rear bumpstop mount and they seem to be providing enough cushion to prevent metal to metal on the front stop. If I ever hit, then I will add a very thin bump there just to...

    Build 2021 LC200 HE Build (Sven)

    Made some suspension updates over the last few months. Removed the BP-51s and OME 2723 rear springs. It was also time to rebuild the Icon front UCAs and rear LCAs, so did the shock swap at the same time. In November, I installed a custom set of Dobinsons MRRs and C59-547 rear springs. The...
