I preordered my kit, i should have it in a couple weeks. From what I have seen so far it looks like some people with that kit can go above 3 inches.

Why go above 3? Cv angles could be rough and youd lose alot of down travel

No I'm not trying to go above 3, it's just that I'm at 3 now with my readylift spacers and I have 33in tires that, after minor trimming, dont rub. I just dont want to upgrade my suspension and be stuck with a 2in lift and have to deal with rubbing is all. My measurement up front is just over 38in from ground to fender and would like to keep it around there.
I almost went with a OME/Bilstein combo, but with Ironman I get uca's and I save a bunch of $ with what seems to be a solid product with a 3yr warranty.

Exactly what I was considering too. My Nitro kit with performance springs should be here soon. If it helps anyone, below are my current center hub to fender measurements:
DF 19.5
PF 19.875
DR 21.625
PR 21.75
After conversation with several Ironman gents, I confirmed T4R springs are same length, not L/R specific. I’m having them preassemble my coils with one 5mm spacer on DF that should equate to 10mm (.4”) to level the front.
Estimate for a stock TRD ORP with sliders is that performance springs should give me 2.5” lift. If all goes to plan, I hope for 2.9” DF and 2.5” on the rest.
Forged UCA’s combined with my OEM wheels should yield good clearance for 285’s. I will report back as it comes together.

Need a little clarification on the spring ratings. I noticed for the front springs constant load is rated up to 220lbs, currently with bumper, skids, sliders and various accessories im pushing an additional 430+lbs overstock. Will the constant load in the front be sufficient? As for the rear I dont have much weight (less that 660lbs+ the constant load calls for). In this instance would it be best to have constant load springs in the front and performance springs in the rear?
Cheers!

You can email them or get on their live chat they are super helpful. But you can mix and match the coils between front and rear depending on what you are running.

[QUOTE=RedRunner_87;3503551]Got it back from alignment today. Here are the numbers and the recommended numbers from Ironman.
Did you install new UCAs or is this with OEM?
How did the lift settle? Any final measurements?
I was at 3.5” in front but that settled to 3” after a short drive. Rear is holding steady at 2.5”

Just ordered a stage 3 with nitro shocks for the wife's 2019 4Runner. I have had Ironman on my 1995 Landcruiser since 2007 and have nothing but praise for it. Made it easy when we decided to lift the 4Runner what brand lift we would go with.

What are everyone's though of Ironman Foam Cell Pro Stage 2 vs Dobinson's IMS/UCA setup ? Pricewise both are close enough that the difference is not material. I've narrow down to these two but having a tough time deciding which one to go with.

That's a good question, do you plan on adding a lot of weight (back and front) on your 4runner? If so, the variety of spring options Dobinsons offer is something worthwhile to consider (if just added rear weight then not so much as you can run a Ironman back there + dobinson spring if needed).

Very happy with my Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro lift. You can't beat the price, the ride is super nice. The lift came out to more than 3" in front, it still needs to settle, but I'm actually happy with this result. It floats over bumps and it's firm during breaking.
Here is exactly what I've got.
Toyota 4Runner 2010+/Lexus GX460 Foam Cell Pro Suspension Kit - Stage 2
(Front Springs: 3" Lift Performance Load (0-110LBS Additional Payload), Rear Springs: 2" Lift Performance Load (0-660LBS Additional Payload), Pre-Built Coil Overs: Yes)
