    Picking up my ORP tomorrow and since I got such a good price for my '2014 Tacoma from CarMax (24K) I'm in the process of choosing suspension options. I like the Eibach Pro truck stage 2 due to it's level of adjustability for future possible mods. (anyone running these?). I also like the Dobinson IMS system that Roland is running. I'll probably only run 275's due to weight concerns and wanting to minimize impact on git up and go. I'm thinking I'll keep 1/2- 1 inch front rake vs. leveling. I'm open to any and all input.
    Thanks folks.

    Both choices are solid and pretty comparable, IMO. The dobs set-up is progressive. The Eibach set-up is digressive with some bleeder valves early in the travel that make it feel like a progressive set-up at lower speeds.

    At the moment, the Eibachs seem to be a few hundred dollars cheaper. Maybe that's an incentive to go with the Eibachs?

    Still happy with my Dobs IMS as well, solid option!

    My experience with the Dobinsons and IMHO what makes them remarkable, is price/quality and overall behavior on/off-road. I think a sale is going on, so, I say, snap them up. :D

    Roland can you give me a detailed list of everything you ordered with input on my 1/2 - 1" rake? Thoughts on the rake as well. I'm aware of the list you have on some of your posts but would like everything that you ordered.
    PM if you'd like.
    Thanks.

    Here you go; Front: Dobinsons IMS59-50700 shocks - Coils C59-302 - Rear: shocks IMS59-50705 - Coils C59-505. That's it. I have between 1/2 - 1" rake, somewhere in that respect. I set the locking rings of my front shocks at 215/216 mm in place of the 213 mm mike recommends; that's why I'm around 2.7" maybe a little more.
    You're welcome, you have a PM :D
