Many different options, EFS, OME, Ironman, Toughdog, Dobinsons. I have EFS but would think about Dobinsons next time, Prob cheaper too.

I had Dobinson springs (2" lift) and Rancho adjustable shocks in my 185 and it was great I would do it again.
Set the shocks at 8-9 for the back top handled like a car on the road at those settings and 1-3 off road.

Can you get info on dobinsons coils free lengths and such? I'm trying to replace my efs and need to match coil sizes/free lengths etc as I'm running slightly longer shocks.
