Dobinsons rear coils w/ Westcott preload collars on struts

Did not realize how soft the suspension would be on a 2024 Tundra TRD PRO. I bought the Westcott preload collar lift kit but later decided to use a pair of Dobinsons progressive rear coils that will lift the rear 2". So this should lift the rear just .25" more than the front and stiffen the ride but reduce the squat when I tow my boat. When I lift the rear 2" I'm wondering whether that might hurt my Fox shocks. Looking for advice from anyone with previous experiencer knowledge ?

 

If you haven't lifted it yet, jack up the rear end from the hitch or frame and measure how much droop travel the shocks have left from ride height until you get off the ground. You want at least 2" of droop left once lifted.

Some stock shocks just aren't up to the task.

 

I'm already in the middle of my build. I've installed the Dobinsons coils and I'm ready to finish up the front end now. It is up on my 2 post vehicle lift. I guess my concern is over-extending the FOX shocks. It will take them out of their bypass zone ?

 

Well..... I've finished my suspension mods and It's back on the ground. The stance is just what I expected and I'm happy but I thought my track bar in rear would line up after I sat the truck down, but NO it's not lining up. I'm looking for advice now.

 

Did you get the entire Westcott kit or just the fronts? If the entire kit it comes with rear strut spacers which are around 1/4" - 3/8" which I would definitely install for a little more wiggle room on droop.

I have a 2023 Pro with both the Westcott and DRKDSS BOTCK although I did not use the preload spacers as I wanted 1" in the front and 1" in the rear. First Hole on the BOTCK aligned everything perfect for my setup. Since you are at 2" in the rear compared to my 1" the top hole may work out better for you but no matter what either setting is better than stock with the rear lift.

I also went with Duro bumps up front and Timbren active offroad bumps in the rear.

 

New Dobinsons coils are not relaxing enough to allow the track bar to line up. I'm going to put some weight in the bed to drop it enough that the bar will line up. Setting the truck down on the ground without moving it at all, I have 3'' of lift. Since it was supposed to be 2'' I'm betting it will settle down an inch with some driving and some weight.

 

I might be wrong about the idea of weighting down the bed enough to attach the track bar. Not sure. I have the Westcott preload collars in the front but not the top spacers. I replaced the rear coils with Dobinsons C59-841VR progressive coils in the rear........... Okay I just checked my numbers. These new coils from Dobinsons are supposed to add 2'' with a 110 lb. load. Mine are 3'' right now with no load and no break-in. I just might need that track bar correction kit. Thanks for the link !
