Ironman 4x4 Nitro Gas suspension stage 2

Did a lift from Ironman Nitro gas stage 2 suspension kit on my TRD 4x4 OR 2021 at 1,067 miles, on the highway the ride is way better than my Tacoma 2019 which I traded in,it has 6112 Bilstein w/ ready lift 69-5531 kit,5100 rear/spc uca
both of them are in 3” front 2.5 back on 285/70/17 mtz p3 MT,so far no vibration,squeaking will update on how it does off road.

 

Had a chance to hit Bastrop Tx trail with some friends and the suspension did really well....

 

@Boyettexan Hey man, I just bought this same lift for my 21 Tacoma. Also looking at the same specs - 285/70r17.

Do you have any rubbing? Did you have to do a CMC? Lastly, what are your wheel specs? (Width / offset / Backspacing)?

 

Looks really nice but I noticed your cv boots are not so happy . Both are rubbing bad . Just a heads up

 

from Ironman i requested for 3inch lift in front and they put a little 1/2 spacer(silver ring in the bottom of the spring) and no rub,lift was installed at toyota dealer paid 20%extra from other shops dont want to void warranty,my rims has 17x9, -12 offset,4.5 backspacing.

 

yeah salamat been thinking some remedies

 

@Boyettexan wats the rub situation like? Did you have them do a cab mount chop? Assuming not, since it was dealer installed.

 

3” is pushing it with these trucks

 

mostly that i know on 33s or 285/70/17 dont require cab mount chop if you have 3inch lift, you might trim on the plastic but no cab chop

 

thats true 3" is pushing, these when you start changing uca,boot touching,recalibrate sensors and gas mileage but i think its the trade if you want your vehicle to be more capable and maybe look cool,went to Toyota Jamboo and did well with the set up.

 

@Boyettexan

Did you install the lift yourself? If so, roughly how long did it take you?

If you had a shop install, how much did they charge?

I had a shop just quote me $1,600 - seems outrageous to me.

 

He had a local Toyota dealer do it as mentioned in post #5.

 

Damn! I just installed an entire setup on a friends 4Runner. Took about 3.5 hours. Didn't realize the labor cost on a full suspension was that much!

 

Good catch , not sure how I skipped over that part

 

I think Toyota may have stuck one in you on that. If you do by chance have a warranty claim dealing with suspension...……..I wouldn't think Toyota will cover it.

Truck looks good by the way.

 

Heheh it happens man. And in your case - $1600 sounds pretty steep but I know prices will vary from region to region. I've got their stage 2 foam cell pro sitting in my garage waiting for me to swap out my old setup. If you have an extra hand to help and someone with basic tools you should be able to do it. They have a pretty good tutorial video on YouTube as well.

 

@JoeTacoma02
Yeah I think that may be the route that I take. Would be nice to learn the ins and outs of the suspension as well.

Is this the video your referring to?

Yup that's the one! If you're comfortable doing it for sure but if not than don't hesitate to have a shop do it. Just make sure you shop around for quotes.

 

Only took me and two friends 3 hours to install my foam cell pro stage 2 setup in my garage. $1600 is a ripoff haha

 

Any tips ? My buddy has access to a 2 post lift, so that will surely help a lot. Also, did you just get an alignment the next day or what?
