Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro

Good to see! Maybe you’ll get it by Christmas and a friend will put it on to surprise you lol.

 

Hooray!! Hope it gets there soon


A lil update since I'm here- I picked my springs up last Friday, 285/70/17s go on Saturday, lift and ECGS bearing go in on Monday! Stoooked to finally have some photos for y'all. Cab mount chop (shout out to @Buttskevin21 !) is happening, but date is TBD. I was hoping to squeeze it in before my tire appointment, but Kevin had a work emergency so we have to reschedule.

 

I pretty much skimmed through this whole thread. But has anyone done the Constant load coil overs and leaf packs yet? I'd love to know if they had any issues with vibration in the drive line with the shims. Or is the kit pretty "problem" free now? I ordered my kit back in OCT. And it finally came today. Anyone have pictures or anything

 

I’d say it’s hot or miss with the driveline vibes. It’s not unique to this kit but can happen anytime you lift the truck.
Welcome to the club. There are some on here that have the constant packs and coils. I’d you don’t have constant weight in the back, expect the packs to lift a lot more than you’re expecting back there. Some people have had to remove a few leaves to get to a height they liked.

here is a post from @Fletcher37

 

I'll watch that video here in a bit. Thank you. I plan on adding a swing out tire carrier and hard top RTT but things cost $$$ so that will take some time. I never had to remove a leaf. That's something I hope and assume I can do on my own? I believe I have alot of weight in the rear but the OEM sport leafs look weak and they are bending down. Once i get home in a few weeks I'll post pictures. With this IM kit I would like to run 33s; what are you guys running?

 

I do have the constant load springs front and rear. The rears have the 3rd leaf removed.

This setup is fine when I’m loaded for a camping trip. You’re right the stock springs are not up to the job.

I recently bought the 3” lower spring rate performance springs for up front but haven’t installed them yet. I just got my ATH bumpers this week so I may wait to see how the truck drives with the new bumpers on before I switch to the lower spring rate.

I run 255/80/17 Cooper ST Maxx 33”. I like the look and weight of the skinny 33s. Also didn’t like the idea of needing a CMC and bashing the pinch welds.

 

Oh yeah, if I don’t have any camping gear in the bed and the RTT is off the truck, I look like I have a 5” lift in the rear.

 

Fletcher37 I agree completely with the skinny 33s and yeah I'm not doing a cmc. Anyway I could get pictures of what it might look with out a load in the back? I'm sure it looks really raked.

I've watched videos on the install; but when I looked through my kit yesterday I saw these two stainless steel spacers.. I'm guessing they are for the brake line bracket? I wish I took photos..sorry.

 

I’m interested to hear how those work out for you. I’ve really been considering it but right now, (after buying the OEM LED headlights and a front skid plate) I can’t make any other purchases… or as my wife says she’ll beat me with the headlights

those are probably for the carrier bearing. Like 1/2 metal block with a single hole? If so that’s what it is.
If you have an angle finder, check your driveshaft angles before and after you lift. Try to get the angle the same if you can.

I have 255/75/16s on mine. No CMC though I do rub a little on the back of the wheel well. It’s only on certain conditions backing up and slightly rear inclined.

 

Apparently Santa is driving a big brown truck this year. Leafpacks still have another day or two according to the tracking.

 

Oh, nice to see they finally showed up!

 

94 days. But who's counting?

 

Install in progress!!



Fronts are in, just getting the passenger side UCA in and then on to the rear!

 

I don't have the constant load, and I only have about 400 miles on mine, but no vibes, no noises, and no rubbing. Zero rub. Pretty surprised actually. I was super nervous and as usual, expected the worst. Nope, nothing negative to report and I love it. Stiffer. But I also have E rated tires currently at 35 psi. Probably gonna drop that a bit.

 

I've got you beat ! I ordered in April and just got a tracking number. Due Christmas Eve!

 

Thats crazy… at least it’s on the way!

 

Besides a little stiffer than I’d like, I’m happy with them. The people that knock the kit don’t want to hear that there is anything good other than fox/king/Billie etc

 

Holy crap! I feel bad for being a crybaby now.

 

Anyone in here live in Colorado?

 

this is enough to not want to order anything from them. Was this listed as out of stock when you placed the order?
