You can check with, 1st gen offroad channel for info. Nice setup ⚡️
Great video it was very informative. I like how you mounted the brackets for the front and rear shocks instead of the original way. Definitely want to go with this same Dobinson MRR kit for my 2020 Tacoma TRD Off Road 4x4. Subscribed 👍
Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback! 🙌🏻
I wanted to ask how did you get Exit Off-road to set the coilovers to 3” of lift. I saw there is an assembled option, but it doesn’t give you an option to set the lift height after you select it or the spring rate.
It should say this, “Select Lift Height *
Leave a note during checkout if you have a special request for the lift height, and/or if your front end is a lot heavier than normal (aka 300LBS of added weight)”
@@Castro1265 Thank you I did see that it’s available if your only buying the front MRA coilovers, but not available if your getting the full lift kit with the rear shock and leaf springs. I’ll make sure to call before I place my order with them once I’m ready. Thank you very much for your help I really appreciate it.
@@diruelas Ohhhh I see, yeah just call or leave it in the comments on your order.
You routed the reservoirs for the front wrong. Look at the instructions on the exit off-road website. That's why you didn't like the bracket and didn't like the routing. You were supposed to drill holes and use the hose clamps you didn't use. Actually after watching it again you also have the brackets reversed. Flip their sides. That's why you couldn't tighten the bolt when it was on the truck.
I'd recommend everyone look at the exit off road site for instructions.
I appreciate the feedback. I’ve built multiple racecars in the past and I’ve done a lot of suspension work. There are recommendations for installing suspension but things like the reservoir can be installed multiple different ways for ease of access and such. I chose to do mine like I did, and I have had zero issues so far. But again thank you for the feedback!
Hose outlet should be at cab side
Great video! I blew my Dobinsons 220 extended struts out in Moab 2 weeks ago, time to upgrade to MRRs! I noticed you didn't mention extended brake lines in the rear, I'm assuming your previous rear suspension was also long travel and you threw on the 24" lines back then? Just an important thing to mention when throwing LT in the rear of Tacomas, and should probably be done even if just doing extended travel as well.
Great point! Yes, right now I have brake line spacers. I do have 24” lines ordered but they are on backorder from R4T. They should be here in about 1 more week. Thank you for the comment and watching!
Hey! Mate Jazz here from down under Perth Australia.Great info on install and video much appreciated 🙂 There's so many lift kit suspension brands out there as they all claim to be the best for their brand but I've got a 2018 Mitsubishi Pajero sport exceed and I'm getting it kitted out.I'm also thinking of Dobinson MRA all round as they seem to be extremely good ride and I like the fact you can dial in custom settings.They are made in Eastern States in Australia but expensive here all up with install $4650 Au dollars so my question is it easy enough to install myself as I can get fronts preassembled just be mindful of speed sensor and brake lines I guess so do you fit everything tweed em so the bolts hold then lover on ground and then use a tauque wrench to tighten upper control arm and bottom strutt mount bolts to factory specifications plus I noticed in some videos they put washers for spacers to fill any gaps on bottom strutt bolts area and they use grease on nylon bushers before they insert em to avoid dry friction rub.I would really like to install myself as would be better satisfaction from doing it myself but a bit scary lol.Sorry for long message lol thanks man 👍
How do you like the upper control arms?? … personally don’t care for that upper ball joint style, they can move when wheeling hard, I like the fixed ball joint style with the caster preset. Jba would be my go to
I agree with you. After a lot of wheeling, I decided to upgrade to Camburg UCAs. They are better for daily/weekend warriors that don’t wheel very much.
Looks good thanks for the video. I'm about to buy the same setup and was wondering how the ride is with the stiffer spring seeing that you don't have your front bumper in this video? Right now I have skids/ sliders but not getting a new steel bumper for several months.
Thank you for watching! Honestly, it was not bad at all. I went from Bilstein 5160/6112 to Icon Stage 3 to Dobinson’s. Icon’s are incredibly stiff so I didn’t mind at all. Plus I installed my front BAMF front bumper a couple weeks later. I would recommend getting the heavier spring rate if you plan on doing a bumper in the future as well.
I subbed. Are you going to the Overland Expo next weekend in Llano?
No, but I will be at Rendezvous in the Ozarks
@@Castro1265 never heard of it.
Is it a private deal, or an actual event?
Hey man, I installed the same on my truck and so far they've been great. Have you been playing around with the settings more? In this video you said you were at 5 and 5 all the way around and didn't mess with the rebound. Have you changed any of that yet? I have adjusted mine a few times on-road and off-road but still trying to figure out what I like best. I also noticed that you covered the rebound screw in the rears. When I installed the rubber boot I zip-tied it just above the screw so I could still have access.
Awesome! I’ve been running my high and low compression setting at 1(lowest) I absolutely love it! When I air down offroad it’s to 16-18psi and my truck drives like a cloud offroad. I’ve never touched the rebound to be honest. I didn’t cover the screw completely I can still turn it if I needed. Thank you for watching the video!
How has the MRR setup been so far? I have been looking at upgrading my Eibach stage 2R kit to this.
I recently went full long travel and Dobinson did not have long travel suspension available so I am running Locked Offroad shocks and plan to switch back to Dobinson very soon. Dobinson shocks have been hands-down the best suspension I’ve ever ran! Highly recommend!
@@Castro1265 Good to know!
Hey man did you sell the Dobinson MRR front and rears?
Yes!
I have nearly the exact same setup Dobinson MRA with the Heaviest 700lb springs, the rear MRA's and Dobinsons 111R rear leafs. I have had them on for about 3 years through maine's harsh winters. I got them during the beginning of the pandemic. just wondering what your height is set at? from reading the guide included with the shocks I set mine at 8.25" from the center of the lower bolt to the spring seat as the instructions said.. but i am noticing a noise in my front end when hitting any pothole and only on the drivers side.... I do have CBI steel skids, mobtown HD sliders, and a SSO slimline hybrind with stage II, and a smitybilt !0k COMP winch.. had my mechanic check the suspension, and everything was tight.. he had no idea where the noise is coming from... its driving me nuts...
I’ve never had that issue. Have you checked the clearance between the slid plate and your exhaust? I was told by Dobinsons the max height is 226mm from lower bolt hole to spring perch that what mine are set at.
What spring weight rate did you chose in the front coils and how mani inch lift did you get ?
Thank you for watching.
Dobinsons 2-3" Pre-Assembled MRA Tacoma Coilovers for 2005-2022
Select Coil Spring Color: Teal, Dobinsons Classic Color
Select Spring Rate: 730LB Spring Rate
Select Lift Height: 3.0" Lift
What's your settings for rebound and compression
When I’m driving on the street I keep everything in the middle. When I’m on trails I keep everything on as soft as possible. I still need to figure out what setting I prefer to be honest.
Can I know what is coil seat measurements for 3 in set? I also have 354 coil springs, and I want to put them on shock bsorbers right way. Thank you
1 7/8" from the bottom of the threads to the bottom of the lower collar on the coilover. I can send you a picture on IG if you have one. Just let me know. Thank you for watching!
@@Castro1265 ____hunter.lin93 Thank you for reply
@@linshifeng1041 Sent you a message on IG. No problem!
The part # you showed for the rear ends in a941 which is for extended travel. Do you have extended brake lines already?
Correct and yes they were on backorder from R4T but I’ve installed them since this video.
Okay thanks. I was trying to decide myself whether to go with the extended travel or not. The extra droop for rock crawling seems good but it does limit your up travel which I thought maybe a downside?
In my opinion, the extended travel is well worth it. Just make sure you have a good bump stop set up. I have the archive garage ubolt flip kit and bump stop.
Cool. I have timbren bump stops now. Thanks for the advice
No problem!
What are you doing with the icon setup? Any particular reason for the switch or just leveling up because you can? Assuming you're going for bigger tires.
Great questions, the Icon’s didn’t seem to like the weight I have in the rear even with my Deaver stage 3s. I also wanted a upgrade for less maintenance such as rebuilds. This suspension should be lifetime suspension. Yes, I do plan on going 35s very soon. Thank you for watching!
Icon's are for sale btw
@@Castro1265 how do you like the ride with the dobinsons on the tacoma? I have OME on mine and it rides a little stiffer than I would like. Not adjustable so it is what it is. I have the Dobinsons on a Landcruiser and love it, but that's just a different machine than the Tacoma.
I went from Bilstein 5160/6112 to Icon stage 3 to Dobinson’s. World of a difference! Especially offroad. They aren’t even comparable. I would highly recommend them.
@@Castro1265 good to hear. I love them on my 80! thanks for the response.
This shows the brackets and hose orientation. Looks like you had the brackets on the wrong way around to start with.

Thank you for the feedback and thank you for watching. I decided to route my hose differently. There’s no wrong or right way to do it. I wheel my truck quite a bit and have more than enough clearance everywhere.
