Total Chaos / King Coilover Kit

Thanks for all great experience shares.
It’s very helpful!

Today, talked to RPM Garage (local tech here) which I tend to have them to install the set. They told me that Dobinson is a bit stiffer ride in town without heavy loaded compared to Icon, but handle loaded better while off-road.

I would consider you fairly heavy loaded. Basically the same as me, and I had to add a .5" spacer in the rear and lower my front to 2.1" of lift to gain just over .5" of rake. Perfect for when I pull my camper.

I had Frontrunners drawer system + fridge slider installed permanently in my LC cargo. It is 150lbs with nothing in them. Every off-road/family camping trip, we loaded a lot of stuffs + hitch mount spare tire carrier, so easily total weight added up to 330 plus lbs.

Dobinsons 817V (175-330lbs) is the right springs for me ! Thanks much for your information !

Where did you get the Dobinsons from?
Would you give me name and contact information of it? Many thanks!

General, looks like that specific springs in back order!
Probably, some small shops still have them in stock…

I got mine direct from Dobinson. I called them because they were showing back order. Only took them about a week to ship them out.

Talked to Dobinsons and was told…Backorder: RED springs in mid Feb while Black in few more months!
I got everything ready (TC+Adjustable King suspension F+R and fair installation labor fee), but the springs hold me back!
While waiting…I hope other companies like Old Man Emu will have springs for our LC.
