AllDogs Lift - Anyone have one?

I am looking for a small lift on my OffRoad, for clearance and also to offset any droop from front and rear bumpers. My Land Cruiser is my main wheeling rig, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't set this up well.

I like what I saw as it uses the existing shocks and doesn't seem to require swapping control arms or a diff drop. It is an inexpensive solution to get me exactly waht I am looking for. I don't want to go the spacer rout, at least on the front.

Looking for feedback from anyone who has tried one

• Any comments on the difference in ride from stock springs
• Did you install it yourself? I have spring compressors I used on an older LC, wanted to know what you did there and if you had to get a bigger torque wrench. Back looks easy, front a bit more complicated so any comments would be appreciated.
• Did you have a shop install it? What was the cost
• Any comments on CV angle after install?
• What lift did you end up with front and rear? It says 1.5" front, but his video said 1" was the result.

Curious if someone researched the stock shock to see what the extended travel was and how much margin was there over stock and with theese springs

I see Dobsons also has springs, but months to get. Can't really tell if there is a difference in the two.

Any other comments?

Ready to make the purchase, just want to get a perspective from anyone who has installed them

Thanks in Advance

I have the All Dogs lift but have only installed the front so far. Truck is 38-1/4” from the floor to bottom of fender. A Westcott preload collar was in the truck before, installed by the prior owner, so not sure what the actual lift would be from stock. I’ve also got 285/70-17 tires. The Westcott collar also put the front of the truck at 38”.

I still have the Westcott collars on the rear and haven’t yet installed the ADO springs. I can’t compare the front ride to stock as I didn’t have the truck then, but as compared to stock with the Westcott collar, it is a fantastic ride. No mure clunking and overly firm feeling front suspension. It’s a very, very good ride.

As for install, it’s the same as any other strut/spring install. Remove the coil over from the truck, compress springs, loosen top nut, decompress springs, swap springs and reverse. Removal of the coil over and reinstall was as easy as I’ve ever done before, literally 15 min per side to remove and maybe 20 min per side to reinstall.

I don’t have a pic of how the truck sits but will snap one and post it up. FWIW, Chad and the guys over at ADO are great to work with.

Thanks for your response Mike

What spring compressors did you use? have old style compressors I used on springs for solid axle vehicles (non strut) they were always a bit flakey. Thinking of getting this. I like the bar thaat goes across holding the two clamps together. Interested in what you used
