Would new shocks (non long travel) increase my wheel travel?

Ordered dobinsons kit yesterday to forgo any possible tariff issues. They have a note about on their site currently.

I’m going with their GS series shocks as I don’t want yet another vehicle that requires coil over rebuilds every 30-40k.

Their IMS has been phenomenal on my 40 series but it doesnt see near the mileage (~5k max/year) vs. what the 250 will see being daily driven.

Has anyone considered doing an OEM lift? The 4Runner Trailhunter has a 2in lift over the regular 4runner. It weighs 500 lbs more than the Land Cruiser so it would give you a little more spring for a bumper and extended range tank.

That’s intriguing. I’d love to see someone do this and see how it works out.
Have you priced it yet?

I have looked at the Lexus springs from the GX Overtrail. They want $1600 for just the springs. I'm sure the 4Runner suspension is going to be more.

this is great information and thanks for all the measurements. does anyone know howmuch more uptravel is avaiable on the shocks when on bump stops? im trying to go the spacer lift route and like to know if i can add a halft inch spacer ( .8 after motion ratio) and prevent shocks from bottoming out.
