    For someone that needs new leafs (167k miles on stock TRD leafs currently), is it worth going with Dobinsons or is the 3" really worth it?

    Are you comparing dobinsons to a spring under axle system? Two completely different suspension classes

    Spring under is a longer travel, you’ll need a longer shock with a fabbed upper mount, most people cut through the bed and mount the shocks in a bed cage. If you aren’t looking to go deep into the rabbit hole, you don’t need spring under
