Find me a part number for an oem Toyota 4runner ball joint...... Its ok, I'll wait...... I'll even give you an official Toyota parts diagram and the link to a Toyota oem parts supplier.
Take your time......
Sorry, I just saw this. Have you been here waiting the whole time? Nice diagram by the way.
Replacement part numbers for Ironman UCA bushings and ball joints:
Ball Joints: K500018 (Moog); W0133-3601484-SNK (Sankei 555)
Bushings: 48632-60040 (OEM Toyota)
The Moog ball joint is greaseable, while the Sankei ball joint is sealed and non-greaseable, so it's a more comparable replacement to the OEM upper ball joint. These are replacement parts for FJ Cruisers. The 5th Gen 4Runner oem ball joints appear to be integral to the control arms and are not replaceable.
Hopefully this clears it up for anyone who was interested.
I just bought the goods. I figure for $2K with the great reviews I've seen I should just pull the trigger. I would probably have missed that sale without your comment. <3

Happy with ironman stage 2, it came out way higher then advertised 3" front and 2" back but I wont complain. I'd adjust the height of the front based on their recommendations / cars before you put it on the vehicle.
I got it when they were running some crazy discount at $1800, it was hard to pass up.
KDSS is up to you, it makes it super nice to handle on road due to no body lean even with a lift, and it relaxes under 12 mph giving you more articulation then stock sway arms. That being said, you don't get sway arm extensions, disconnects, long travel, etc.
If you're looking for a road trips and decent off roading, KDSS helps, if you're looking for long travel, rock crawler, don't waste the money.
Then again people usually just remove KDSS (you just unbolt the bars), and go long travel with a rocker bar in the back -- again lots of money here.

Thanks for all the advice. I went with a 2016 Trail Premium with KDSS. Couldn't be happier.

I mean it would be pretty crazy to upgrade your suspension and leave the stock bumps on there. Just saying we have some options 5th Gen Bumps

Interesting combo! How much actual lift did you get in the front?

Nope been busy with 80 hour weeks at work, first chance I've had to pop in since actually. Still waiting for that oem ball joint part nunber you promised you'd find, cuz a Moog part isn't an oem toyota part, which you claimed the Ironman arms could be rebuilt with oem ball joints. it was my entire point that the oem ball joint isn't replaceable - as you claimed it was - and that you need to replace the entire arm. Can't take any credit for the parts diagram, that comes right from Toyota.

You implied Ironman UCA's were a throwaway part:
I provided part numbers for the bushings and ball joints showing they are fully rebuildable, just as Ironman claims on their website. I'm thinking now would be a good time for you to admit you were mistaken, but whatever.
