    Dobinson's MRA Extended FRONT Shocks, Install DIY

    Awesome! What have you found works for you as far as the adjustments go? What kind of weight/ use does your truck have?

    I couldn't remember which ones you had in front already but I knew it was one of the newer sets from them. I know you wheel probably pretty similar trails to me so it's great to hear you've had a good experience with them so far. Is there anyone else running these MRA in the front on a 100...

    Very possibly. I do remember making a mental note when I installed the TDs that they were very slow to rebound. Hence why I was sure that they still had good life in them when Wermz suggested they were bad. But they're definitely bad now.

    OK so a quick trip to Mr. T this morning to pick up a lower shock mount bolt and bushing washer. Took me about 10 minutes to button the truck up once I got home. For the initial settings, I turned HSC/LSC to the minimum setting, and I set the rebound at the bottom of the shocks to "4" (I...

    To be fair about the strut compressors, I wouldn't have been able to do this very easily/ safely without a press. I could have pushed it down myself, but then I'd need a second person to affix the ties in quick order with me in the way. It does make a great case for having a shop press...

    Hopefully so. I've got a set of the solid axle flavor the back that I'll install later this week once a new 22mm flexhead arrives. For anyone curious, I am replacing Tough Dog 53MM Ralph front shocks and the 45mm adjustable rears. They've been on the truck since I initially lifted it, 3.5...

    So there you go. They're installed. Next you'll have to adjust them to your preferences. I'd tell you how to do that, except I have to wait for 2 pieces of Toyota hardware to replace damaged parts from my truck. IMO, given the price of these units as well as the average age and useage for the...

    I would suggest compressing the shocks for ease of install. My old shocks were toast so I blew on them and they compressed, but the new guys are strong. I ended up using my shop press to slowly compress them into a manageable length, then used 2 big zip ties to hold it with another smaller zip...

    This is a simple install thread with a few points and tips that weren't included on the instructions in the box. There weren't any instructions in the box. So, start by opening and inspecting what you do have in the box. Mine arrived pretty beaten up with some of the hardware and bracketry...
