    I realize there's a ton of suspension threads out there already... Been doing a lot of research, and searching but I can't find anybody running this exact kit on a first gen.

    https://exitoffroad.com/product/dobinsons-2-0-lift-kit-toyota-tundra-2000-2006-with-quick-ride-rear/

    When I do my suspension I'll need to replace my coils too, so a complete all in one kit is kinda appealing. Kinda got it narrowed down to OME springs + Bilstein shocks, the Dobinsons, or the OME kit, but it looks like that one gives a little more lift than I really want.

    I'm not sure how to feel about the 1.2" lift blocks in this kit. My gut says they aren't tall enough to cause any problems. But I can always swap them out for add a leafs if I don't like them

    I have them on the rear of my sequoia and have been impressed, I went with stock height coils. These replaced Eibach, which replaced KYB which replaced worn out OEM.

    My only complaint is I'm not a fan of the teal.

    Depending on your leaf spring condition just replacing the the leaf springs might be in order. I finally did that on my 01 tundra after trying too many other things and wish I had done that first.

    I have Dobinsons on 5100s in the front of my V6.

    Absolutely impressed by the performance.

    I'll dig around in my emails and see which springs I actually have.

    I have Dobinsons springs C59-302. Provided about 2 inches of lift in the front end of my 2WD V6 on the bottom circlip of the 5100. Rides schmoooooov.

    Planning to use Dobinsons again on my latest project.
