    Hello everyone!

    I picked up a 2018 SR5 TRD Off Road Crew Max with only 18k miles a few months ago! Excited to be here and excited to be back in a Toyota truck after years of messing around with VW’s and Subaru’s.

    Can anybody give some feedback on Dobinsons suspension and how they compare to Fox or Kings or Icon? Looking to upgrade to a mid tier system that will improve overall comfort and handling on and off road.

    Thank you!

    I've done a ton or research and here are my impressions.
    If stock suspension is a 3 out of 10 for performance, then something like Bilstein shocks are about a 5, Dobson maybe a 6 and then I'll generically say that King, Fox, Icon and ADS are in the 9 range.

    Thanks for simplifying it @DividedSky. The shop I called said he’s a Dobinsons dealer so can get them at a better rate but can do any of the aforementioned brands. A 6 is nice but a 7 or 8 for a little more would be nicer, idk.
