Did I read somewhere that the normal load springs were 700lb and the heavy duty springs were north of 800lbs ??

That doesn't sound correct since they have 3 different springs. They have Normal, Performance and Heavy.

Ironman Foam Cell Pro

Forgot to take stock measurements before the install but it’s been a couple weeks now. The springs have pretty much settled. It looks like I ended up about one inch higher in the front than I should be. There is a very slight negative rake. Only noticeable if you’re staring close enough. Nothing a steel bumper won’t fix. (I got the performance load option front and back)

Measured from fender to center of hub

DF: 23.5 in PF: 24 in
DR: 24 in. PR:24.25 in

You can adjust the front struts to lower it down till you get your bumper.

Couldn't be happier with our stage 3 ironman lift, you can spend more money but I honestly don't think you get a better suspension!

After 1000 miles including a 500 mile road trip down the Oregon coast and a bit of overlanding, I really like my Ironman suspension. My 4runner feels much more "planted" on the road and corners way better than the stock suspension.


Side question....
Did you buy or build your overland trailer? I'm looking to pick up and M416 or Bantam for an overland trailer project this winter.

It is a Smittybilt Scout trailer and it has been great. We switched from a RTT to a OZ tent this year and are really liking it.

I noticed Ironman now offers 2.5" and 3" performance springs with their Stage 1-3 kits. Besides the 1/2" difference, what is the real difference. The coilover body is adjustable so couldn't you adjust the 2.5" to 3" and vise-versa? Anyone know the reason for offering the 2 choices?

Did 300 miles of off-roading/camping on the Stage 2 kit. Man this suspension was amazing! Soaked up bumps and was super responsive on Top of the World:

Anyone else’s strut mounts and bushings go bad on this lift? I’ve had the FCP stage 2 on my 5th Gen for only 800 miles and started getting a squeeking/thumping sound with normal city driving. I purchased it prebuilt, and the shop i had it installed at told me it’s the strut mount and/or bushings as the bushings seem to be cracking.

I had mine installed about 2 months ago and have a bit over 1,000 miles on them. My top bushing isn't cracked and not as squished (it isn't bulging out the sides like yours). It also looks like the torque stripe isn't lined up... mine doesn't have any torque stripe... ya got something funky going on. The small cracks in the rubber I wouldn't be worried about by themselves, but the over compression isn't good for durability or noise/vibration/harshness.

I could be wrong but that looks over tightened. If I can recall, the general advice is to tighten it till the bushing is squished and about the same size as the washer above it.

Thanks guys for the response @SpeedyKevin @mo_mo

Would you guys mind posting what your strut mount/bushings look like?

I’ve contacted Ironman and they’re sending me new bushings/hardware this week. Anything else I should’ve asked for? I tried having them send me a whole new strut mount, but they wouldn’t go for it. I’m just trying to get this annoying squeeking/clunking sound resolved.
