Ironman 4x4 Lift

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”

That is with the Ironman UCA'S

Here are the numbers

Stock/Day of/today
DF: 19.5"/ 23.5" / 22.5"
DR: 21”/ 24 1/8" / 24"
PF: 19.5" / 23.5" / 22.5"
PR: 21" / 24 3/8" / 24.25"
 
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).
 
Posting an update to this thread- below is a link to my Ironman Nitro Stage 2 kit. Very happy with the result. With 5mm spacer on Drivers Front, lean is now gone.

Before measurements:
DF 19.5”
PF 19.875”
DR 21.5”
PR 21.75”

After measurements:
DF 22.5” +3”
PF 22.75” +2.875”
DR 24” +2.5”
PR 24” +2.25”

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.

Have you measured your fenders yet? You look like mine did when I installed it. You won't get a significant amount of settling if you put it back on the ground before retorquing everything.

Looking at your pictures you look like you have over 4" lift and may need to turn yours down.
 
Has anyone adjusted their front shocks on the vehicle yet? I saw a video where the guy had to use spring compressors to reduce the height.

I have the adjustment tool and some WD40, hoping taking off the tire and letting the shock droop would be enough. The little screws aren't tightened, that would ruin the threads.

Yes 4 inches upfront causes issues :) my KDSS bushings are done (could have been due to the install), my boot is leaking, and my steering bushing/boot looks wet. Also the chat person on Ironman4x4America said the springs are 825ft/in...
