Huh, haven't heard of them, but sounds interesting. Might be similar to the OME kits.
I just had this kit installed yesterday out at the West Coast Cruiser's shop.
Opted for the "Option 2" setup.

Kit is designed for no additional accessory weight in front or rear. This lift will yield approx 3" lift in front and 2.5" lift in rear. We recommend this kit If you are planning on only putting on larger tires a mostly street driving with some light off roading, occasionally medium off roading.

Wow what a difference! Not as spongy as the stock setup. Nice positive feel to the truck now. The kit uses some heavy duty springs (front and rear) with 4 new shocks so the ride is a bit stiffer but in a good way.

We measured the front and rear and both were close to 3" over stock after the lift.
Now I have to start saving for 285's.

I guess Dobinson's suspensions have been available in Australia for a long time and West Coast Cruisers is the U.S. distributor.
The kit is basically a modified Prado suspension kit.

I will post some pics tomorrow.
