Replaced bubling paint, rusty door bottoms on passenger side door. It took almost as much time contemplating the cut than the actual cutting and welding.
Any updates on those that recently did install of this lift?
Ride quality, ride height, issues with needing longer rear shackle to level and of course pics

Seems like you have a good deal of experience with ironman. I have been looking at 2.5 lifts for my 1981 fj40 (and although popular compete kits) I have been leaning away from OME given the shorter spring length and relocation of axle forward in rear wheel well.
What...
MMW68 - bump
Get back to us re Ironman springs on your ride. Post up some pics of your rig. Curious to see height and where the rear springs are located within the rear wheel well.

Any update on your procomp spring install.
I'm Looking to do the same.
Post up your experience and parts- bushings used for us with late model >1980 FJ40s
To me the military wraps look different - one cut square (r) and one longer tapered(l) .the u bolts are also different. The spring clamps also look different. I wonder If they are different springs
I did the same thing with the racor except i ditched the cable for thin spectra cord (>1000kg strength) as it was easier to center and tie on the hooks. On/off is 1 one person job.
I like the real steel deluxe (finished on both sides) but i ended making up a quick one out of wood. Took kick vent to hardware store to match paint, could not have been easier. Uses lower hinges from ambi doors
