Anyone running Dobinsons MRR suspension? I’m looking to replace SAS suspension on Everglades. Any feedback welcome.

Dobinsons MRR 3 way adjustable suspension - anyone install?
Been happy with my Dobinsons IMS with the heavier available springs for my 4-door. Would have gone with the MRR if available at the time. There are some YouTube reviews on the system that might be worth checking out.

I have this on my 4dr Badlands Sasquatch. I have their full kit with the exception of UCAs: theirs were out of stock at the time so I am using the icon tubulars. You use some spacers on the skid plates to accommodate the sway bar relo and diff drop.
the ride quality is great. On springs, I started w black front and back. With relevant adjustments made, it was perfectly level - and it took winding the rear collars all the way down. This was a problem because I wanted a bit of rake to assure when loaded out w camping gear I wouldn’t be squatted in the rear.
I was able to swap the black rear springs for the teal ones which they noted were slightly stiffer. That worked pretty well for me, but if I needed to do any more, I’d need to swap to two door front springs.
on 35s, I was slightly higher than Sasquatch. With 37s, at full compression/upward travel I was hitting the fender, and with dv8 inner fender liners, I was rubbing at full steering lock on the outermost corner on the front end.
looks like Hooke inner fenders might have more front edge clearance but I am also hearing DV8 is coming out w V2.0 of those that likely will improve it.

2023 Badlands with 35" MT Baja Boss AT, so I can't speak for a SAS. I have no complaints about Dobison MRR suspension. RLT Suspension in SLC,UT did my install. Did a great job setting it up. It tracks well on gravel wash board roads with this setup.
RLT rebuilds suspension components and prefers this brand to several others, Miles says he doesn't see Dobison back in his shop to get rebuilt as often as other name brands.
Hope this helps

Thank you for the info. I’m going to stick with 35’s for now. I might add rockjock antirock on the front. If I get 1 to 2” lift over SAS will be happy. Hopefully rear will align and not feel loose. Again appreciate the fed back, little info online about broncos running this setup. I’m sold getting ready to pull the trigger.
Thank you for all the great info. Not to many Bronco posts on this setup. Sounds like a winner. I’m going to stay with 35’s for now. I’m looking for a 1 to 2” lift. Hoping rear will not require drop. getting ready to pull the trigger.

Just placed the order for the dobinsons mrr suspension. Will also add rockjock antirock to the front with track bar relocation bracket in the rear plus icon dj pro uca’s. Will report back on results when all complete. Hopefully will achieve small lift, more flex, better ride. Appreciate everyone’s information.
I’m also running the Rock Jock AntiRock up front. I’d be curious to know which hole your shop uses. Mine went with the stiffest and reluctantly moved it to the middle. I think full soft would be fine given the stiffer springs with my IMS kit. Either way, still softer than stock and has helped with the front end articulation.

MMR’s and Rockjock antisway installed. Went with 2” lift . Now the fun starts with getting settings dialed in. Will hit the trails soon.

installed in the middle hole. Will see how that works. Agree could probably run in third hole. I’m hoping we get some dry weather to try out on trail.

im still playing with this on different roads, but haven’t had the time to be more scientific. Starting from middle, I have left the rebound where it is (may do one click slower), two clicks harder on low speed compression and one or two softer on high speed compression.
I think. I should count them back out to full stop and write these things down like I did on the motorcycle

I contacted Dobinsons and they told me to start 7 rebound and 0 for high and low comp. Getting to the rear rebound screw with lower mount bracket is a pain. I’m going to log info down and see if any big differences.

Just ordered my MRRs this week Can't wait to get them. Currently running 3" RPG perch collars and 3" body lift. The ride is not bad actually with the perch collars but really looking forward to the improved ride with the MRRs. Orded the heavy duty rear springs as I have a lot of gear in the back.
