Looking to buy their 2" heavy springs, anyone have an updated code for just the single item? Thanks in advance.

FYI was given a code from a chat sessions with them that works as of now: GOODBUDDY10

Two Questions:

Question 1:
Does anyone have this setup with 32" in tires? If so a couple of photos would be helpful. I am trying to decide if I am going to go with 32" tires to maintain as much factory power or go for broke and go with 33" tires. My FJ had 33", I never re-geared and towing was problematic.

I just don't want to do the lift and have the tires look way undersized. I sure 31" will look small.

Question 2:
Has anyone adjusted the front coil overs to 1.75" height vs 2.5. I am fine with a bit of rake. 2.5 will level the truck.

Thanks!

A1: I 285/70/17 which is about 33". Pic of my truck attached.

A2: I adjusted my Pro coils up and down. A lot of pictures here. Bottom line is you need to use the Ironman's wrench with some sort of leverage. I started with a pipe wrench but is way to heavy.. My 19" braking bar was not sufficient so I got a 25" long one. The Allen hex size is between 16mm and 17mm so I used a 16mm with some aluminum to make it fit properly.

Extra leverage is pretty common. I actually welded a 12" or so piece of steel tube to my spanner wrench for my Fox shocks. One thing that can help is a little bit of oil between the adjustment ring and the spring to help it slide. I also like to lube up the threads as much as I can with penetrating oils before I move them just to free everything up. Once they've been through a few years of wear, it'll only get harder to turn. The Ironman spanner looks pretty nice. The one Fox sends is a flimsy piece of shit.

Awesome reply. THANK YOU! My stage 1 kit has shipped.

Great hearing all the glowing reviews, very underrated

Just got back from Rendezvous in the Ozark's about a 1600 mile trip and really like the way the Stage 3 suspension handles towing the trailer.

redshift83 · 10-30-2020, 02:18 PM

So, i'm basically ready to buy a suspension setup, was originally going to go with 6112s and 5100/5160s out back with a mild lift out back and maybe 2" up front. The FC stage 2 kit really seems like a good deal though with the UCAs and everything included. I have KDSS, stock tires, and small children though so i'm not looking for a huge lift right now. Is anyone running the rear shocks with springs that don't give a 2"+ lift? I'd still buy the kit and keep the taller ones for later on when i get the other things sorted, but i'd like the option to stay low for now.

I know i should probably just get some 5100s like my 3rd gen had and be happy, but where's the fun in that?

No more "free traction boards" but the price of at least the Stage I kit dropped. Now $1199.

I just installed the Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro Stage 2 kit on my 2020 ORP with KDSS, works great! There's lots of good info on this forum so I probably won't post a DIY or anything, but if anyone searching through here has any questions feel free to PM me or something. Happy to help. Although tbh, it was quite straight forward.

The install was pretty easy! 8K later I am still happy
