Dobinsons Suspension Heavy Springs

[medguy]

Let me preface this by saying I emailed Dobinsons USA and was told that they will release their IMS Shocks and Struts along with a diff drop kit in the next 2-3 months. The IMS is height adjustable along with being compatible with the many different Dobinsons springs.

One of my biggest questions was regarding their current spring offering C19-566 which is rated for 0-110lbs on the front of a 2.7 4 door Bronco. I expressed my concerns that it is an inadequate payload as my bumper, winch, and skids would be close to 300lbs. I was assured that my payload should be fine and would still get 2.5-3" of lift. Interestingly enough they offer springs rated for 300lbs for the 5th gen 4runner. I ran that setup on my 5th gen. This is a direct quote from Dobinsons, "Dobinsons can design a stronger spring if needed but we haven't seen the need for it as of now, the IMS are adjustable and you raise the seat if you need to lift more. We didn't want to raise to much the spring rate as the ride frequency number goes out of our desired range."

Apparently the C19-566 springs are also compatible with the stock yellow bilstein springs. For those of you looking for heavier springs.

Dobinsons makes good stuff, I'll attach links to the pages I was looking at.

If I look mine up, a 4 door wt, they do list a 150-350lbs spring option

I want the extra capacity with little to no lift over the factory height.

I believe that you are looking at rear springs. I need that much up front. What was the part number for the springs you were looking at?

Have you looked into the Old Man Emu Set up?

I need my Bronco to get built first. WT so I need Fox compatible springs. The OME is great stuff.

You're totally right. I didn't even catch that. I just kept scrolling down until I saw four-door.

Has anyone actually put these on a SAS Bronco stock Bilstein front or rear? I called Dobinsons and they said they would work. I tried ARB and had to send them back. They would not work on rear stock Bilsteins.

Interested as well

According to @Graham1911 they do work with Sas Bilstein shocks. (At least the rear's).

Yep, they work perfect, I have the ones for 150 to 350lbs added weight on rear. I have 200 plus lbs on rear with heavy bumper, tire carrier, Hi Lift jack etc. The rig felt squishy and the rear sagged when I put any cargo in back. The Dobinson's solved all of this.

Has anyone compared these to the Eibach’s?

Eibach did not have these out several weeks ago when I installed the Dobinson's. I tried the ARB but they would not fit. I called Eibach and they told me they were still working on rear HD springs and did not know when they would be released. I found the Dobinson's and they work perfectly. Keep in mind, I do have a 3" Zone lift on my SAS Bronco. It lifts the front 3" and the rear 2". I simply removed the rear Zone stuff, (pucks) and installed new springs. That put the rear .25 to .5 of an inch higher. That is with about 200lbs hanging on rear.

Interesting. I thought the 500 buck kit on Eibachs included the rears.

They do, but Eibach has been developing HD springs for those with added weight (which is what he was looking for). They were not available when he talked to Eibach, but it appears they will be available soon based off what another user posted in another thread.
