Ironman Lift

me likes...

 

To anyone that may do this lift. The front shocks come with a 1/2" spacer for each side that I didn't use. I may install those if I end up putting a bumper on but if I were to do again I would have put them on. That would bring the front up another 1".

 

What was the final lift without the spacer? Was it the 2" that it said or a full 2 1/2?

 

from my rough measurements I got almost 2.5 front and over 3 in back but my stock rear leafs were junk.

 

Mine are as well. I have an 06 and I do a lot of hauling. I will be looking into these as soon as I get my cash back to where I am happy. Damn wedding/honeymoon/vacations.

 

sub'd love this setup

 

Can you measure from the center of your hub to the fender on the front? May be picking up a set of these coils soon.

 

The front measures 22.25 from center of hub to bottom of flare. the rear measures 23.75. That .5 spacer would have got those numbers pretty close.

 

Exactly what I am Looking for do you know which coils you got?

 

Can you give a little more detail on how the truck rides better? Firmer, softer, etc.

 

How are the rear leaf handle

 

Trying to decide between this lift or OME...what you guys think?

 

I would go with one jut because they been around for a while

 

the coils are TOY065B
I only drove the truck with the same tires for 10 miles and the ride was smoother. Now with the duratracs it feels firmer.
The leafs seem to be doing fine. Like I said earlier they handled the load from the trailer I pulled much better and didn't sag like the old ones did.
I thought about this and the OME kit. What steered me to this was price and I wanted to try something different. As of now I have no regrets in my decision.

 

For anyone interested I found it for 880.

How is your lift doing any complaints? I have been looking at a lift for my truck as well since and was going to go with OEM but I found the ironman lifts. Thanks for anymore input

 

I am not sure. Mine is delivered tomorrow. I won't install it until next month. I would recommend it though since it isn't a full 3 so no changing of the uca's

 

I may have to pull the trigger on the Ironman lift. With that lift what tire size would be good? I was going to buy 285/75 and keep my 16 inch wheels. (I have the black baja wheels)

 

Uhh... 285 you would still trim. KPT is the person to talk to about what kind of trimming. I would say 275/75/16 for it if that is the case. I am running 265/70/17 and I should be OK. Right now at Sierra expeditions (minus some shipping issues I dealt with...) have 100 off of the product.

 

Update
Lift is holding up great and still no complaints. I have another car and the truck is only driven a couple times a week. Been working on audio system lately which has been a challenge getting great sound in a truck.
I live in Buffalo NY and in 2 weeks headed down to NC to visit family and then to Myrtle Beach. We will be driving the truck so I should know a little more about the lifts road manners after that.
