Dobisons MRR Adjusting the height

[Kiwiz]

Just fitted some dobisons mrr 2-3 inch and wanted the full 3 inch. It got installed at 2 inchs amd Got a 1 inch diff drop. Just want to know has anyone raised it to the full 3 inches and had any problems?

Lots of people I know have them at 3" and above mate.It will change a few things but nothing too serious. Raise away. Will have to give them a few turns to get the 1" extra but its not difficult.

Thanks ryan! Do you know if you need to clamp the springs at all? Or just wind it up?

[Ryanostrd]

Nah dont have to clamp. Jack car and take wheel off. Let suspension hang under its own weight / spring.
Make sure the threads are super super clean. Then give them a spray with some CRC or inox or something.
Back the lock nut off then start winding the main nut up using your c-spanner. You may have to put an extension on the c-spanner to get enough leverage (like a jack handle or pipe or whatever you have around).
You should probably measure the wheel centre to top of guard distance too on both sides before and after so you can see how much you go up and make sure both sides are the same.

My advice is too take them out and wind them up on a wall mounted compressor.

I tried to raise my mrr's on the floor with no weight on the strut and twisted the c spanners to a unusable shape plus it felt like the threads were binding up and the lower strut bush was getting twisted. Ended up taking them to Suspension shop and having the new heavier dobo coils installed.

Thanks for the heads up guys! Appreciate it

Hey guys, so how do you find the ride with the Dobbo MRR? Im looking at getting the full set up?

[Magnum06]

Would like to know also^ My Profender setup is rock hard and I'm looking for something softer.

[rds_929]

it's a little firm but still a smooth ride was a bit rigid with no weight and tyres around 40psi but dropped down and few psi and made a big difference i love mine

Has anyone had problems with the factory uca hitting the springs? And how could i fix this instead of buying aftermarket uca.

hey mate if you brought profender like my self you should of brought the stage 2 kit

the remote ressi shocks come in handy i have mine set on manily 2 and its soft as anything even though the springs are heavy duty rated to 500kg +

UCA's foul when there's a decent increase in droop from the overall lift, you can install droop stops but this would be limiting your suspension. Do it properly and get aftermarket UCA's to clear the coils on droop.
