so how do the C59-168 / 169 ride compared to the OME stock heights? I recently swapped out the OME shocks for Fox 2.0s but now the ride is a bit more loose / side to side sway than with the OME shocks.

I went from Toyota springs and shocks to Dobinsons springs and toyota shocks. Bought the shocks a few years back and I'm too cheap to pull the trigger on aftermarket shocks just yet.
Perhaps you can take a hub to fender measurement and post it here. I can take a hub to fender measurement of my 94 with OME stock height and OEM shocks and post those for comparison.
There are times when I like the firmness of my OME dual rates, like driving on a highway or really smooth but windy road. Other times, like on every street in town, the ride is harsh. Putting in a fresh set of OEM shocks helped quite a bit, enough to keep me satisfied for a while, but it still drives around like a dump truck when going over rough roads.
how do you like that spring is it better on rough road .mine is all stock i want smooth ride on dirt road.I installed a set of the sandard height, stock load - variable rate springs (C59-210V and C59-221V) a month ago. I paired them with a new set of OEM shocks and have no complaints on ride quality.
Ride height has settled in to 21" hub-to-fender at all four corners. This is at stock weight minus half of the third row seats.
Previously the front was at 19.5 on the original springs. The PO had installed one new spring at the rear with 3 rudimentary metal spacers on the other side, so I don't have a useful measurement there.

What size tires are you running on your rig? It looks great!

What size tires are you running?I bought and installed the stock height Dobinson suspension.
1993 FZJ80 with 290k miles
Previously had Stock springs all around with 30mm spacers up front. Tokico shocks upfront and KYB in the back.
I called a few shops to get an idea of how much it costs to get it installed, most were about $500. I decided to do it myself. Took about 3 hours, worst part was the left front upper shock bolt which is under the brake thingy. Other than that it was an easy install.
Truck sits slightly higher now with a level stance with no spacers.
Ride is slightly smoother and it tracks better on rough roads. The truck still rides like a tank compared to our Highlander.
Bang for the buck? Yes it’s a good suspension kit for the money in my opinion. My favorite part is the Dobinson steering dampener. It’s much easier turning the steering wheel now.
No I didn’t take any measurements. First picture is before and second is after.
Hope this helps anyone looking to freshen up their suspension.
