    I am looking to purchase the dobinsons IMS 3/2” lift kit. Stock rear no weight. 325 or 505 spring. Almost level would be ideal. Thank you.

    I’ve got the IMS shocks. They are fantastic, and will make the 4runner feel like a nice heavy sporty german car. Dobinsons springs run high, and they tend not to settle all that much over time.

    I’d suggest coils to give you a 2/1 lift if you want it to look like a 3/2.

    edit: don’t drive it like a sporty german car, it’s still gonna be a top heavy SOB. I play it safe and consider my dobinsons to give me a “sense” of confidence on the road, which may be false confidence in certain situations:D

    Thank you. Looks like the 505 rear spring might be the best option for 3/2 leveled look. Looking forward to the upgrade. Recently I took my 4runner out on a trail with a 2.25 spacer lift and it was miserable.
