    Take a look at Runnin4tacos too. They answered a bunch of my questions and are pretty competitive on price.

    I ran that kit on my 2018 4runner. By far my favorite setup. Perfect blend of cost, comfort and performance.

    Overland outfitters and Wheel Every Weekend put together a video series where they blind tested some of the top brands. They did these tests on a Tacoma… but still interesting FWIW

    edit: it was a multiple video series with lots of good info, but below is the conclusion video (spoiler alerts)

    I got my Dobinson 2/1 IMS installed today.

    Full lock the tires rub on the mud flaps.
    Is there another option of mud flap without the hump on the inside like the OEM flaps.

    I’ve seen someone recommend the weathertech mud flaps for this exact reason. Check them out.

    Sry for being this back from a while ago, I have similar set up to you, but on TRD pro, can I use same springs on the fox shocks to get the same result?

    appreciate it

    curious where your caster setting is at, have you tried setting to max caster, does it clear?

    Just wondering the caster setting everyone is ending up after various lift heights (by setting the lower control arm can to the max caster setting)

    That is the OEM 3rd Gen Lift kit btw.
    3” up front and 2” at the back.

    Once you read through the thread that @cruiserhead provided you will learn all you wanted to know and more.

    285/75/18…technically a 34.8 diameter but equates to 34” exactly when mounted and loaded.

    So much to go through but not finding exactly what I need. I have a 2023 Tundra SR crewmax 4x4. I only want to add higher rate springs for the rear without really any lift. I tow a camper and the tongue weight is 600lbs. Do the higher trim levels than the SR have higher rate rear springs?

    My guess is that all Oem coils on Tundra are about the same.

    Dobinson has more HD springs available: https://www.dobinsonsdirect.com/pages/product-result?rq=mk_toyota~md_tundra~yr_2022-on

    And OME had HD springs as well.

    Just sharing to spread the knowledge…

    Looks ICON has a slew of new kit combos, including their IIC Control Modules (adjust your ride from the cab or phone). They also released a few new rear coil options now.

    Update*

    Added a 140lb C4 rear bumper and lost about an inch…

    This spring/shock combo is A LOT better than stock btw. Stiffer than factory.

    I installed my Dobinsons IMS kit today. Pics coming soon.

    Everything went smooth except the rear coils. Just too damn long lol. Ended up leaving my 1” spacers and stock rear coils in. However, I did install my rear IMS shocks.

    I needed longer brake lines and Yotamafia has a long lead time. I order coachbuilder Tundra rear brake line relocation bracket from 2-2.5gens. It worked perfectly. https://shop-coachbuilder.myshopify...ke-abs-relocation-kit-provides-2-25-of-length

    So if anyone wants a cost effective alternative to extended rear brake lines, this is money. I didn’t use the abs bracket that comes in the coachbuilder kit. I looked it over and couldn’t see how it could be used. I did bend the abs brackets to gain length.

    I also installed my track bar relocation bracket I bought in ebay. In needed to persuade it into place. It looks and operates exactly like the one that comes in the 3.5 RC Lift kit. It squared up my rear axle evenly. I will hold on to my Dobinsons track bar for now and I’ll maybe install later.

    The ride is incredible compared to my preload spacer I had installed. I will figure out my rear Dobinsons coils later. I still need to get an alignment and will provide final verdict in about 100 miles.
