IronMan 4x4 2" lift!

So your 315/75's are basically 35x12
Do you get off road much, cause aren't those gonna rub a lot?
Didn't going from 30 to 35 cause a large perceived power drop?

It sure looks good!

 

ya basically a 35. I get off road a lot and won't rub once I get .75'' spacers. You have to cut 2 inches out of the fenders and beat the pinch weld flat.

 

Did you re-gear?

 

I am right now with the ECGS GB but the difference between 265 and 315 in power was minimal

 

ECGS GB?

I would have thought there'd be a fair diff between 32 and 35. And; stock and 35, as I presume you haven't changed diff gearing from the stock gears/tire size...
Cool to know.

 

No but I also had treadwright guard dogs which are noticeable heavier than other tires I guess.

 

Just wanted to update.

I ended up putting a bag of sand near each wheel well. Now I only have slight takeoff vibes and the truck rides much smoother now. Very happy with the suspension, especially the price for the quality.

 

Really? What's the weight on them?

I stuck with a 265, but went from 65 to 70 sidewall. The tires that I put on are 10lbs. heavier each, and I had a noticeable difference in perceived power. Takes more gas to go and more brake to stop....

 

Has anyone got the foam shocks or are most of you running the gas one? I'm also not sure what shocks to get. I don't off road too much mostly when camping and hunting. But I also quite of bit of renos in my house and load it up pretty heavy sometimes. Just not sure if I should get the b or c suspension?

 

Shit, I can't remember which I got. I think I purchased the gas. Let me go look at my first pictures.

As far as I can tell, they were gas. It's been 2 years since I bought the kit...

 

I got the foam

 

Foam here, couldn't tell ya if its any better than the gas though. They work for me

 

I think very few of us will actually use them enough to notice the difference. I went with the foam to be different...

 

Where can you get this lift?

 

Hey Mate,

Nitro Gas Soft Ride shock absorbers are best used where comfort is preferred rather than firm control. The softer valving is best suited to light or no load applications. The Foam Cell shock absorbers provide a similar feel to the Nitro Gas shock absorbers, but these shock absorbers feature a larger piston and bore size to allow for more oil capacity which allows the shock absorber to operate cooler in rough offroad conditions or long haul corrugations.

As for B or C suspension. That really comes down to how much load you are carrying constantly in the back. A B spring may sag when adding a large load, but if not carrying constantly would probably be better for when driving unloaded and won't cause permanent sag (only temp whilst weight is on it). C springs would be better if you are constantly carrying weight i.e. tools etc are in the back full time.

Hope that helps answer some questions!

Cheers,

Do you if they are still working on a group buy! Would be a great way to let North America know you're here to stay

 

I'm not sure there ever was one.
There's 19 tonnes of ironman in a cargo container that should be here about any day
You should be able to order about mid may

 

I thought i read earlier that haslefre was talking to ironman about maybe doing one. So just thought I would ask to see if he had an update.

 

two vendors I know of are:
trdparts4u
metaltech 4x4

 

Currently, they are not being sold. When they open in Portland, I'll go down and talk to them. But no, I never was going to set it up, just guide people to the right place.
