The new Dobinsons Universal high-performance coil-overs and long-travel shock absorbers take all the good stuff from their popular vehicle-specific fits and offer it to fit almost any vehicle.

The new Universal kits have more than 40 different length and spring rate combinations, all built on their MRR/MRA shock bodies with three-way compression and rebound adjustments on external reservoirs.

Tech Specs & Options

They’re available in coil-over and smooth body shocks, each with 10″, 12″ and 14″ travel options. The coil overs use a dual-stage design with two separately springs, giving you more ways to tune their performance.

The Dobinsons Universal coil-overs/shocks use a 2.6″/66mm body housing a 2.35″/60mm high-flow CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum piston. It’s designed for coil springs that sport a 3″ inner diameter.

The adjustable remote reservoir has a 19.6″ hose and is manufactured with DOM 3mm wall steel tubing.

Dobinsons says they thoroughly and rigorously test its coil-over springs in-house for spring hardness and fatigue. This testing is said to include 100% load testing and scragging to “eliminate any potential spring sag”.

Three-way adjustable FTW

The MRR/MRA shocks give you separate high/low speed compression and low-speed rebound adjustments for every model in the lineup. All adjustments on on the remote reservoir, making them easy to reach for quick trailside adjustments.

High-Speed Compression – 10 Stage

High-speed compression primarily affects the compression damping during high-speed shaft movements such as harsh or square edge bumps and harsh vehicle landings. (click any image to enlarge)

Low-Speed Compression – 20 Stage

Low-speed compression primarily affects the compression damping during low-speed shaft movements such as vehicle pitch, dive and roll, wheel traction, and vehicle ride quality (harshness vs. plushness).

Rebound – 15 Stage

Rebound damping primarily affects vehicle traction, damper top-out and vehicle body movements such as vehicle pitch, dive, and roll.

Prices & Options

Coilovers are $995 per wheel, sold without springs; coil springs start at $240/pair. There are 24 different coils available, and the base shock options include:

Smooth Body Shocks start at $625 each. Options include:
