Yes. I just installed the Alldog's at the same time I installed my winch bumper. I got about an inch.

I have front and rear. Got 1.5" front and 2" rear. Make sure if you get them you are getting the newer lots. Apparently the previous lot did not provide as much lift to the front.

After installing my winch and Bumper it is about 1.25" in the front

I have the all-dogs springs front and rear. I think I got an older set because the front was only lifted about an inch and the rear was lifted at least 2 inches. The ride up front is fine but the ride in the rear is very harsh. The only extra weight I have is from the Toyota rock sliders and the trail hunter skid plates. I would not recommend getting the rear springs unless you have around 250 pounds of extra weight constantly in the rear of the truck.
I’m not keeping these springs on long term. They are just a placeholder until some proper lift kits come out from bilstein.

you can use the ADO front springs on the 5100s also. they sell a ton of 5100 kits for the nissans with their ADO springs. it will ride better with their springs in theory since the preload is at the bottom setting.

That’s definitely an option but since I have the trd off-road with the piggy back reservoir bilstein’s already it wouldn’t be much of an upgrade since it’s the same shock diameter as a 5100 already. I will probably wait till 6112’s are available or possibly 8112’s. I have had 6112’s before on my f-150 and they were great for how much they cost.

very true, the 6112s ride better than the 5100s.

Did any of you change your UCA?

No, a lift 2" or less to the front shouldnt require that. An alignment is needed though

Question for you guys. My Offroad has RCI rock sliders with top plates (~180 lb), TRD front skid, Miller cat trans shield, OEM hard trifold cover and maybe another 30-40 lb in the bed as typical daily static weight. Once a week I will do Home Depot runs where I grab 6-700 pounds of salt. Occasional camping but the gear is less than the salt trips. **Forgot I have front and rear arb recovery points plus full size 18” spare. So tack on another 100 pounds. Typically 2 passengers but occasionally 4.

With just the daily static weight I can already feel the front bottoming over speed bumps and definitely when carrying salt.

I currently have Peak’s Trail Hunter spacers which gives me 1.1” but it’s purely cosmetic so I wanted to change it out for All Dog springs. Do I do both front only or front and back? Will the back springs be too much for my typical static weight?

Thanks.

Ive got a question which may go un-answered like ripc's...

Is a prebuilt lift coilover assy or the right aftermarket spring combo with the right front shock more prone to keep its lifted stance more so than a stock front coil over assy? When theres added weight involved...
Dobinson, Eibach, Updog, Bllstein, Peak, Readylift, etc....
Not really in a situation to go all out with King, Fox, etc...
I have a sport & installed a 2.5" collar lift, left the rear untouched...
I installed some NW2 offroad rock sliders & it killed my stance & needless to say it sucks!!!
I never took a measurement before but taking measurements from other similar trucks, Im up about an inch instead of 2.5.
The before & after rock slider pics are depressing....
So is there something that is more resistant to sag due to added weight?
Also would LOVE to improve body roll, thats a huge petpeave of mine.
The sport isnt bad but if theres a shock that will make it better, im all in....
Thanks
Im new to the toyota world so didnt expect such a drastic hit but was in the back of my mind after realizing sliders are 48lbs'ish per side...
probably more...

I ended up doing front and back all dogs springs. They quote the front as +1.5 and rear at +2.5. So it’s not the stance you’re looking for but it will get rid of any issues you’re having when it comes to added weight from equipment. For reference, my sliders are about 85 pounds each side so they’re significantly more than yours if yours are 48ish. I do have and offroad so I did not have to change shocks. Not sure if that’s also the case for

I no longer have any issues with front or back hitting the bump stops. 400 pounds will still level it out fairly well. These springs seem to really like about 400 pounds in the bed. I’ve included a couple of photos. One is with an empty bed and the one with my tailgate open is with 400 pounds of salt in the bed.

Just for fun… this is what the truck looks like compared to a modded Gladiator.

Ill get some pics here in a few of side profile with the sliders....
I dont have a total straight side profile pic prior to the sliders,
It crushed my stance, im like wow...
Contemplating pulling the sliders...
My guess is theyre much heavier than I was told, wouldnt be surprised if theyre right there with yours.
I dont have top plates but sure theyre still heavy. These guys didnt skimp, theyre built to bash!!!
The only dirt ill see is in the walmart parking lot...

Is this crazy....

 

[rijc99]

Uh. WTF? That’s a huge change just from sliders.

Tire didn’t change from pic to pic right? That’s all from the sliders?
