Dobinsons MRR 3 way adjustable suspension - anyone install?

[NDM_84]

All I know is it definitely works great for me with the one size heavier rears

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don't doubt it's good, just a little confused, maybe there is something different about a Bronco; however, I do know my vehicle will def exceed the payload capacity which is 918lbs. I myself am 6'5 300lbs there goes 1/3 of payload lol. So I'm thinking I need 550 lbs front and 900lbs rear. I def don't want to lose wheel travel due to heavy weight.

I just had some Dobinson's MRR installed on my 2 Door Sas Bronco and now it looks like a Pre-Runner. I left it at the shop since the front end is so high and thinking the springs could be wrong. We are hoping that it settles and levels, has anyone had this experience after installation?

Send a pic. There are definitely different springs options, and if you got 4d you’d be higher for sure. But you got preload adjustment to investigate as well. And it will settle after being on the lift for awhile and new springs — so it could be fine after a bit.

Unfortunately, I did not take a picture but I do have the measurements before and after. Initially I was running the Eibach Pro Truck Coilovers Front Passenger 39.75, Front Driver 39.5, Rear Driver 40.25 and Rear Passenger 40.50. MRR installation Front Passenger 42.25, Front Driver 42.00, Rear Driver 40.25 and Rear Passenger 40.50. I will find out on Monday if it has settled over the weekend.

Hey are you running 37s with your Dobinson MRR kit and if so, which tire manufacturer and size and which wheel manufacturer, size, and offset in mm are you running? Also, did you do the Diff drop that Dobinson recommends? I like the kit but my issue is if I am doing the diff drop by about an inch that will offset the ground clearance I gain with going with 37s so what is the point of even running 37s? Does this Diff drop really need to be installed and can this be ommitted by installing the aftermarket RCV Axles which are much beefier and better with extreme CV angles? Not sure if you dove this deep just curious on your opinion

I installed the Dobinson diff drop with the MRRs and running Mickey Thompsons Baja Boss 37x12.5R17 on Method Wheels 704s with 0 offset. My only caution with the diff drop is your skid plates, make sure your skid plate can accommodate a one inch diff drop. RCI makes an engine skid plate that can accommodate the diff drop but it will be tight. I bought some rubber spacers off Amazon for a little wiggle room. If you decide to go with the RCVs then I recommend upgrading the front diff to a Ultimate Dana 44 so that the durability of the RCV won’t be an issue with your stock front diff.

Im assuming your wheels are 17x8.5? Do you have pictures of your build? I didnt think I would need to upgrade the differential, I thought sasquatch Badlands could handle 37s, this hobby is just asking for more and more . I just dont understand why Dobbinson recommends the diff drop when metalcloak game changer or Icon stage 8 both lift the vehicle more than Dobinson and dont recommend the diff drop, this so confusing to me.

The diff drops help with less binding, the higher you go the greater chance of snapping an axle.

wow man your build is absolutely amazing, very clean. Love the wheel selection, front bumper, and perfect amount of wheel poke. If you have more pics from different angles please do share.

OEM Sasquatch wheels with FP beadlock rings. MT Baja Boss AT - 37”. I did the diff drop.
