Wichita Kansas

Took us about 8 hours all said and done. But we had a few problems with the rears (weren't used to them). I can do the fronts now in 2 hours give or take. I took mine to a shop to have them assembled, as did Jarod. I would probably go back to the shop he went to in Valley Center or another one that I did. I may need to get my left one re-done.

 

I was going to ask you how you are liking your iron man after some time. Did it stiffen up the front end a little with the new coils? Did it eliminate any front end roll? I know mine has a little roll now. I read your review in the review section and from what i have researched online, everyone seems to like the iron man, and its sold at a great price.

What shop in valley center? I live up near park city so that's not far, just want to do it as cheap as possible (we have a baby on the way).

 

Can't find the name of it, but it is on Southwest Ave and Sheridan Ct. Doesn't have a name on google maps for some reason.

As for the lift, I love it. Some minor problems, but I think it stems from the coil on the drivers side more than anything. Had some major lean at one point, but I put the sway bar back on and it's much better. The rear is solid over bumps now and I don't have a problem loading it up with more than it's rated for. The front is a lot smoother over graded roads, but now that I put the sway bar back on I can feel the other bumps. It is a lot more firm than stock. I think putting a bumper on would make it feel 100x better.

And congrats, I have a kid on the way too. We are due the end of March.

 

That's one bad thing i have read about lifts, people sometimes have issues. Whether its vibes, new UCA's or stuff like you mention, but i have to get new shocks and leafs, my leafs are shot. I built a fence this summer and i think i hauled too much concrete and materials and killed the leafs.

We are having a girl, just found that out a week ago. We are due at the end of January and its our first. We are pretty excited. That's why i am doing heavy research on suspension upgrades because i know once the kid comes, money will be tight.

I will keep you all posted and we can have a mod day or something like that once i decide on what i am going to do. I already have to have my own maintenance day this weekend. Need to change the oil, spark plugs, and drive train fluids.

 

I do have a vibe, but barely noticeable. It's between 1600 and 1900 RPM. I know it's my carrier bearing. I just haven't put on the CB trim kit that comes with the kit. If you are interested in ordering the kit, I have the e-mail addy of the engineer for it. He has been great at answering all of my questions.

 

Sounds good man, thanks for the help. I will keep you all posted on what i want i plan to do.

They charged me $15 a coil to build and $40 for alignment (they did it twice to get it right my exact specs, spent two hours with me the second time fine tuning having me me get in and out of the truck and what not) I highly recommend Johnson's

Don't go to Midas on north Rock

If I were to buy a lift tomorrow, after seeing the full OME (Kinetic) and iron man in person...I would spend my cash on OME...my $0.02

I also ran a full OME kit on a jeep xj (Cherokee) for three years and was very impressed, so I may be biased...but I can elaborate furthet, I'm not too biased

Also glad to help install if you need

 

Well looky here.

 

I'd take the trail team FJ over that abortion of a color...

 

I'm pretty sure that's rmWise1's truck that he traded in for this Super White 2012.

 

exactly
even white is better than that muppet color

 

You don't live here anymore. GET OUT YOU'RE DEAD TO ME!

 

That possibly is the loudest color of truck... It just screams "pay attention to me and my hair"

 

You like it? I really wanted the other one, but Bob wouldn't allow it

 

the stomping mad face? what was wrong with that?

 

No idea. But I thought it fit the "Lisa" mentality the best. She is always angry faced.

Oh, and I may be gone in the next 12-24 hours for an unknown amount of time. Effing towelheads and their hatred for America.

 

ohh great
well be safe
you too Josh

 

Ugh, be careful over there.

 

Im waiting on my clearance to come through and I'll be rolling there as well. Good times here I come.
