Dobinsons IMS

[Frenchy]

Well I finally took the time to install a set of Dobinsons IMS on my Frontier. This was after having both the GS Twin Tubes and the MRR Adjustable Shocks and Struts.

To say the least I am very happy with them. One of the biggest concerns I had with my vehicle and it might have been an issue with the ranger at the time as well is the vehicle being shook to death on concrete paved roads. With these installed I don't have to worry about that issue anymore. Along with that the vehicle still very well planted on dirt roads with washboards throughout them. Instead of having the rear end kick outside ways, the vehicle just keeps on trucking right through.

No yes I do feel bumps here and there on the road but then again I do have a pickup truck and not a Rolls-Royce. That is something to keep in mind.

Is this something I would recommend to you guys? Absolutely! Just remember that you have plenty of options for the leaf springs in the rear along with the coil springs up front. It all depends on the weight you're going to be carrying with your Ranger to what Springs you should select. Also keep in mind but if you keep your truck empty you probably won't be too happy as it will be a bit stiff.

Yes Dobinson's stuff is very good, I didn't realise they were selling in the US now. They have a very avid following over here. The factory is in Rockhampton in Queensland, about 500 km from where I live. They are one of the few spring makers here to still make springs the old fashioned way, hot rolled, and oil quenched.
Most have gone over to cold rolling which is faster and cheaper, but I find those springs often sag and break more than the old skool ones, probably because of the stresses put in the steel in manufacturing.
Their shocks are top notch too, especially the remote reserve ones.

To my understanding they have been selling in the states for at least 5 years now. Possibly even more.
