Dobinson Rear Coil Spring Lift - anyone install?

[E40]

Has anyone installed Dobinson rear spring on their Ranger Raptor?? Im wondering how much lift it will give to my saggy Raptor. I have Retractable cover + RTT which are about 270lb combined with cross bars. Then there will be another 300-400lb of camping gears that i need to carry for overlanding trip.


I think this will be my perfect set up with 2” strut spacer lift from GOAT Offroad:

Btw, attached pic is an example of fully loaded set up (approx 500-600lb total payload)

What if you add spring rubbers for when you have all the gear?

sounds like a decent solution for onroad, but the rubber spacer will decrease suspension travel which i want to avoid.

I just installed air bags on my Raptor. I have a set of 1192 Sumo Springs if you are interested.
They helped somewhat when I was towing.
I used them because I leveled the front and as a consequence, when towing my camper the back sags.
I looked into the Dobinsons but the springs will raise the bed, and give you a harsher ride if they are not weighted. This is directly from Dobinson themselves when I contacted them.

Were you given a suggested static weight to reduce the harshness? For those of running permanent/semi-permanent racks and RTTs that likely wouldn't be an issue.

Maybe my google-fu is off today but I can't seem to find anything regarding 1192 Sumo Springs. Do you have any details on what worked for you bags wise?

Which airbag setup did you go with?

I went with AAA suspensions out of Australia.

Here is a link to Sumo Springs site. I used their coil measure template to size them. I also read where the Bronco people are using them.

It would be nice if Eibach made these for raptor.
I ran these rear adjustable on my 4Runner and were great for adjusting when needed
