Help wanted picking a suspension kit! (Ironman4x4/Bilstein/OME)

I appreciate the feedback. I think I'm gonna just go stage 2 Nitro because the video I watched made it seem like the only difference between nitro and foam cell was the heat dissipation which I won't need. I will need to get the ECGS for install instead then. Just a little annoyed that the coil spring is green because it won't look good with my MGM Grey with Bronze wheel taco. Will still probably buy the kit and get a shop to powder coat them.

Thank you!

 

Oh I see yeah I don't have that. I wasn't sure if it was a specific thing to the Ironman4x4 lift or what. I will definitely just get the ECGS bushing to change on install immediately. The green coil spring is killing me though haha.

 

On my end, the green looks good with the black truck, or at least I think it does. I’ve got bronze wheel that I’ll be putting on mine once I get those tires.

 

I have pyrite mica and everything else blacked out, wasn't a fan of the green either but thought what the hell a just rolled with it. It's not terrible

 

Maybe it will look fine but I would prefer black. Now I'm in between deciding foam cell or nitro because I would go nitro but now found out they can't be adjusted lower only higher with a trim packer and they can't be re-built so for $400 more it may be worth it.

 

Yeah, honestly it doesn't look bad but I wouldn't say it specifically looks good together. I may just get it powder coated depending on how it looks just holding wheels and tires up to it. I am in between deciding the nitro gas or foam because the nitro gas can't be adjusted lower only higher with the trim packers and they can't be re-built. For $400 may be worth being able to re-build and lower it if I want to. Maybe I won't care though and I'll be happy with 2.5" and may want to go higher even with a trim packer but I'm not sure. Is that picture of your truck the nitro 2.5" without any height adjustment? And what size tires are those?

 

I'm leaning more towards them after talking to customer service on the website and realizing that the nitro gas aren't adjustable lower or higher, and can't be re-built. I also got a code for $100 off.

 

That is the nitro kit and 265/75/16

 

Looks pretty good and still some factory rake right. I would be going 270/75/17 so I would think that would fill out a little bit more and hide that dang green spring haha.

 

Man, I should have talked to them for an extra $100 off code lol. So that’s only like 300 difference now plus some free stuff.
I see it here all the time and cringe to say it but “but once, cry once” lol

 

Agreed, gonna go up a tire size the next set but these are only a year old

 

I think this is their black friday pricing right? Should be the lowest I could get them. It would be $1990 shipped with a free $150 air compressor and a $30 air down gauge. Seems hard to beat.

 

Yea, I think so. Mine came with track boards, also green. I think I paid 1450 for the stage 1 with unbuilt coils.
If your going to get them powder coated might save yourself 150 and order unbuilt as well. I’ll warn you tho, most spring compressors you can rent will not work. The strut body is too big for the compressor fingers to fit. I ended up having to take them to a local Toyota dealer to get them put together. They ended up being the cheapest around me to do it.

 

I went back and forth between Dobinson and OME. Was almost set on Dobinson's but found the Iron Man 4x4 Stage II Foam Cell Pro. I got a crazy deal from explore-overland plus the freebies from IM. Free shipping was a huge plus as well.

My kit is being built now so I'm waiting on it to arrive but customer service has been fantastic! The price value is amazing and they are extremely driven to make a name in the USA.

 

What did you pay if you don't mind? I'm looking at $1747 foam cell stage 2 without coil overs assembled.

 

I paid just a bit less than you did for the full kit assembled.

 

Ok, so not too bad in my case then. I just added the discount they gave me and I'm at $1747 after everything said and done with a free air compressor too haha! I won't have it assembled so then I can get the coil spring painted black before install. Called my pops and apparently he has the tool to compress the spring and he said it'll fit even though I said everyone the forum was saying it was too big lol.

 

Yeah I thought about doing the same. Green isn't my jam. But I think it'll be fine with Magnetic Grey and orange. I was considering hunting down SCS Ray 10's in Brushed Copper but with that green pop....I dunno.

Did yours ship yet?
