Add Strut Mounts?
Here you can add new strut mounts and hardware so that you don't have to disassemble your old struts
Add Strut Assembly?
Labor charge to assemble struts, coils and new top mounts together before shipping. **Requires SC59-002 mounts to be ordered as well!!
Add Front Lean Correction Spacer?
Older trucks tend to be lower on the driver side, add this spacer during installation to level the front from left to right
Add a Diff Drop KIt?
A diff drop kit rotates and lowers the front of the differential to reduce the CV angle for reduced wear and also better CV boot angle, so that the bellows don't rub against each other so bad
Add Front UCA's?
New front upper control arms (UCA's) help get the best possible alignment on a lifted vehicle and also set you up with all new parts without worrying about the condition of the old used arms, bushings and ball joints. With Dobinsons IMS front struts, it's required to run new UCA's due to the added down travel the struts provide.
Add Airbags?
If you regularly tow with your vehicle, carry a motorcycle on a hitch mount, or have huge variances between daily weight and loaded trip weight, a set of Firestone helper air springs will be very useful. Inserts inside your rear coil springs to add additional load support, Manually inflate or deflate the air bags to add or remove support or height.
Firestone 4135 is for 0-1.5" of lift
Firestone 4108 is for 2-3" of lift
Add Front Bump Stops?
Bump stops play a vital roll in controlling the bottom out of a vehicle, and worn out bump stops just won't do the trick. New bump stops soften the bottom out considerably and add control and comfort to the driving experience.
Add Rear Bump Stops?
Bump stops play a vital roll in controlling the bottom out of a vehicle, and worn out bump stops just won't do the trick. New bump stops soften the bottom out considerably and add control and comfort to the driving experience.
Add Front Brake Lines?
Replacement brake lines aren't required for the front of this vehicle, however adding stainless braided brake lines will increase the pedal feel and braking performance
Add New CV Boots?
Given the age of the 4Runner, if you're already replacing the front suspension, you may want to replace all the CV boots at the same time

Dobinsons 3rd Gen 4runner IMS lift kit is designed, developed and tested in Australia by Dobinsons Spring & Suspension, in-house suspension design engineers, our 4×4 shock absorbers and coil springs are designed and tested to perform in the harshest conditions right across the world. As we export to over 40 countries worldwide from their Australian head office, the importance of quality is at the forefront in the complete design and manufacturing process. This ensures every shock and coil spring can withstand the blistering heat and corrugations of the Australian outback right through to the subzero temperatures of a Russian winter.

Dobinsons 3rd Gen 4Runner IMS monotube shock absorbers are designed for next level performance over twin tube shocks in those hot, harsh, demanding conditions. By utilizing the monotube design, Dobinsons IMS shock absorbers are able to resist fade far longer on corrugated roads, long or hard working 4WD trips, towing or racing conditions.
The larger 50 and 60mm high flow pistons reduce internal pressures, reduce the heat generated, transfer heat to the body for faster cooling and offer improved damping performance and vehicle control at higher shaft speeds on rough terrain and during big impacts. Threaded bodies on struts allow for fine tuning of height and offer further improvements in cooling. The micropolished, hard chromed and heat treat shock shaft, CNC aluminum high flow race inspired piston, and DOM seamless tubing body provides the ultimate in performance and off-road durability.

Composite piston wear bands, high quality Fuchs oil and a race style 3-stage sealing system offer the lowest levels of friction whilst maintaining durability and longevity without the need for frequent rebuilding or servicing. Dobinsons team of engineers spend hundreds of hours of testing and tuning the shim stacks and damping Characteristics in each IMS shock to ensure a balance of comfort, handling, vehicle control and off-road performance – Enjoy the ride

We proudly manufacture the highest quality replacement coil springs for many different applications, complying to ISO9001:2008 international quality standards from our state of the art manufacturing facility in Central Queensland, Australia.

All Dobinsons™ coil springs are load tested and scragged 100% to eliminate subsequent spring sag. We also perform spring fatigue and hardness testing using in-house state of the art testing equipment.
