Installed my Dobinsons Springs today. Considerably taller than the worn out stock suspension.
.
It's a 2.5" Lift, but it netted around 4" in it's brand new state. We'll see after I drive it around a bit if it settles some. I'm not impressed at all with the trail gear extended brake lines so I haven't been able to drive the cruiser yet to test out the suspension. I have some longer OEM brake lines on the way so hopefully I'll get her back on the road soon. Still need to sort caster and get it aligned.
Edit: couple folks have asked about the OEM lines. I think i bought mine from a toyota dealer, but Wits End sells a kit here.
Also installed Delta front Sway bar drop kit, Panhard drop kit and bumpstop drops. I think I'll take the dobinsons sway bar drops back off and paint them black, the zinc looks a little goofy.
Before lift:
FD 33"
FP 33 1/2"
RD 34 3/8"
RP 34 1/2"
After Lift:
FD 37"
FP 37 3/8"
RD 39"
RP 39"
