IronMan 4x4 2" lift!

The spacers aren't to correct lean, they're to level the truck.
I used them on both trucks I did.

I think you can scroll up and see pix of both.

 

Thanks for the reply, I saw the pictures you posted up in one of your threads.
I just think the spacers might be overkill for my truck.

 

There ya go then; problem solved
It's not something "easily changed later," so, just be sure which way you want it.
You could also call Ironman and ask them.
They're nice guys.

 

I just emailed them asking, but since it is only 9am over there, I probably won't hear back from them until this afternoon. And that's why I wanted to ask other people's opinions about this, as you said, this is something not easily changeable later. I wanted to get it right before the kits is installed on the truck. Thanks

 

I would PM Babytaco to see what he added. I added them, but I have a DCSB and a 4.0. Babytaco has a single cab like you, and could give you the better info on it.

 

I didn't install the spacers on my truck. I have a taco lean but it doesn't bother me much. I think I gained around 2.5'' without the spacers initially.

Update: My front suspension has began squeaking like crazy. Driving me nuts. The paint has pretty much completely chipped off of the coils and it has began rusting pretty bad. I can't say the squeak it due to the ironman kit but I have a feeling it is.

 

Ive got one squeak, but I know what it's from. For some reason my shock/nut on top pushes upward instead of staying locked down. I'll take a picture of what I mean later on. Not sure if it's my issue, or IM4x4 problem.

 

Thanks you guys for your responses. I emailed Ironman and they said not to put in the spacers unless you want your truck to be level. So I decided not to put them in when I install the kit.

 

If anyone is interested... they have came out with a new product!

I will be swapping my fronts out for these as soon as I can get my hands on them. From talking to the Reps at Metaltech4x4, they said around 800's for the shocks/coils put together already.

 

So these look like a 2.0/2.5-ish shock?

 

2" I believe, just like their current lift does. I'm sure you can preload more if you want.

I'm heading to their shop next Friday. I'll see if they have any more info on them while I'm there.

 

I was meaning shock diameter, like fox/icon 2.0's vs 2.5's

Also shock bodies are said to be 65mm -72 mm this is equal to 2.55" to 2.83" with a 45mm piston (1.77"). Seems to also be built of steel instead of aluminum like all the other adjustable coil overs

 

20mm piston rod is .8".
45mm piston is 2".
65-72mm outer is 3 or 3.5".

Guess my Google worked alright for mm to standard..... and then guessing the rest

 

Can't wait to see how these compare!

 

Wow; those look well done.
I have the current foam cells on my 2013 (and did on my old 2005); and they work well.
Adding ride height is nice, but I'm not sure I need to spend $800 on that...

 

I like the all in one package. I also like it because I can change out springs on it for added weight later on. I can also rebuild them without buying lots of extra parts. There is plenty of upside, and the price is a downside. But I can recoup some costs by selling the set I have on the truck now.

 

I can understand all that; makes sense....

 

Interesting...
