Dobinsons Coil Spring Rear Suspension Upgrade (C59-819V) Installed on 2024 TRD Off-Road Longbed

Thank you for your detailed response. I have decided, thanks to your information, to also replace the springs on my Tacoma OR with Dobinsons to help deal with extra weight of my camper and toys within. I think I added at least 600 pounds to the truck and as such it has lost about 3 inches of height in the back.

I hope you have a great trip. It will be nice if you can report on it. I am going on a trip my self to the Vegas area to camp. I will order the new springs when I am back in a couple of weeks.

Need some advice...

So my Trailhunter build adds equipment (not including more gear).

FRONT is a rack, some lights, bumper, winch. Estimated weight is about 225 lbs. or a bit more.

BACK is a Leitner rack with boxes, bed roof, some lights, Decked drawer and CargoGlide. Estimated weight empty is about 625 lbs.

Weights are estimated at this point; fuel, water, gear will add some more weight towards the back.

DOBSON springs to offset this?

• Front Coil Spring Specs:
  • C59-822 (50mm- 2") 110-220lb Load
• Rear Coil Spring Specs:
  • C59-819V (30mm - 1.25") 440-660lb Load

Is this a good move or bad move... i.e. I need to know more. I have a lifted Jeep... and put some Airlift bags in rear to compensate for sag and trailer. They seem to have worked fine for years even with offroad action, but I mainly use them for towing. They are static when puffed up after all.

THANKS.
