I am 82" roughly to the top of my rhino rack pioneer platform (with the RL mounts). my garage height is 82.01", this is how close it is. but it slips in just fine.
Installed Dobinson's 1.75 Inch Variable Rate Suspension Kit: C59 - 222V, C59 223V

MAAAAAN, making me want to spend the money even more now. To squeeze in with 35s AND a rack!
Oh c'mon... You could fit 37"s if you flattened the tires to pull it in.
Just ordered a set of 222/223 with the adjustable MRA shocks and f/r panhards. My suspension sounds like it is going to fall apart, so this is long overdue. Currently stock weight, but plan is for a hidden winch and bolt on tire carrier.
@crikeymike thanks for all your help!

I see many of you are running 315s on OEM wheels with this setup, but how many of you also running the adjustable MRAs? Any rubbing or interference on the resivour up front with full stuff? From the photos I've found it looks like it will probably clear, but curious to hear first hand experience.
Trying to keep the OEM look and keep the wheels, but deep down I also want aftermarket wheels with more negative offset
Any information is appreciated. Hopefully find time to install this kit after the holidays.

Another data point: I installed the 222 in front and 223 in rear of my 1997 LC with plan to add an ARB winch bumper and Comeup 9.5. No big bumper or drawers in the back, but probably Slee step sliders in the future.
Before:
LF 20.125 RF 19.875
LR 20.375 RR 21
(Full tank 3rd row removed)
After: LF 22.375 RF 22.625
LR 22.625 RR 23.25
Net lift initially:
LF 2.25 RF 2.5
LR 2 RR 2.25
Now I’ve got three Land Cruisers with a DS lean!!
222/223. Stock 80, bolt on tire carrier in the back. Before and after measurements taken with about 50-75lbs of stuff in the cargo area, and the tire carrier.
Before:
FL 19.5. FR 19.5
RL 19.75 RR 20.0
After
FL 22.25 FR 22.5
RL 21.5. RR 22.5
Rear left (driver side) is sagging an inch, which is common from what I've read.
@crikeymike and everyone else.... is adding a 1" spring spacer the best solution to this problem?

Who makes that rear bumper?

No, that's not normal. The rear coil marked R or Right is taller by 10mm and here in the USA that quite often has to be put on the Left side. Check which way they were installed.
I always tell everyone to put the new taller coil where the old taller coil was, so that they get in the correct position.
Mine was same. Added spacer. Maybe drive it for a day or two to see if it settles and confirm spacer height. ..And give yer back a break before getting in there again!
Thanks, I'll have a spacer available when I swap the coils..just in case that doesn't solve the problem. It's been over a week now so hopefully will get to it next weekend.
Great. And what @crikeymike said as a general rule, always put taller spring on drivers (left) side.
