    So what dobinsons front setup should i get? I will have a winch bumper and winch but its a 10k synthetic line at 60 lbs, and the bumper is only 121lbs. Should i just get the stockload since its under 220??

    I'd suggest the heavier rated coils that suit the bumper and winch. It's additional leverage over the front end, sticking pretty far out over the front suspension.

    Either the C59-610 or C59-578, depending what lift height you're looking for.

    I see they finally got the shackle end covered. When I replaced my leafs months ago I bought 2 sets of greaseable pins, and they only fit the fixed end properly. I called dobinsons and told them about the fitment issues, and sent them pictures. They said they were going to address the issue and they did! That's awesome! Now I need to the shackles though :spending:

    I just noticed the greasable shackles came back into stock recently. I see that they now come with the greasable bushings for the top and bottom of the shackles. My question is if I want to buy the pins for the fixed side how would I come across the correct greasable bushings for just that spot?

    TIA Mike

    Those are in the PB59-1102K bushing kit only. I haven't heard if Dobinsons will sell those as a new separate kit yet.
