Hold a 19mm socket vertically against the frame and bend the lines around that. Doesn't take much. Mine has been fine for 7+ years...no rubbing. If you use a rubber insulator, it will accumulate moisture and rust the line.

Did mine last week. Had a few minor chips in the glass when I bought it 5+ years ago. After half a decade, they finally grew enough that the truck wouldn't pass inspection. All the standard glass companies say they can do it, know the process, use the correct parts but when pressed they...

Dobinson.

2nd pic. Your upper ball joint is covered in grease and looks to be separated. Way too much flex either way. It's obvious the front is too high. The ironman torsion bars are fine. I have them with no front bumper/armor. Need the 21.5" fender to hub to be more or less there. 22" is okay but...

Fan bracket saying it's about to leave the building. Do the TB and water pump too. The fan bracket is 80% of the entire TB/WP job.

I run Ironman S3 and Dobinson UCA's. With the +3 degrees built in, no problem getting the alignment in spec. I've heard 10+ years of complaints about SPC with the old poly ball joint that squeaks and went bad every 10k to the new ones that are just so so. Although they are still fairly new, I...

Why would you go with the full Dobinson set up but excluded the UCA's?

If you don't wrench on or tune the ICBM's yourself, it gets expensive pretty quick. Any indi shop can handle the rockets tho! SPACE is the big issue...never enough.

In a pinch regular ole WD-40 works too! It was developed in the early 50s to displace water and stop corrosion on rockets. All of my rockets and ICBM's are in pristine condition despite the Boston winters. $4 a can.

Just got back from the dealership. Same parts counter as I bought the last bottle from a couple years ago. They now sell the same bottle/packaging as I received from Amazon. Sorry guys. Thought I was saving someone else some hassle. Thing is, the image from the Amazon seller was the dual logo...

As a precautionary heads up... Ordered Toyota pink coolant from Amazon. Since I always keep the last empty bottle of anything I use in the garage I was able to compare. The old bottle was purchased at the dealership so it's 100% legit. The image on Amazon shows identical bottles but what showed...

A lot of us are having the pop after installing the lift. Mine started instantly. It is possible that a run of parts slipped through QC? As far as I can tell, this is a fairly new complaint from those of us with recently installed IRONMAN kits exclusively. I plan on getting under truck this...

My apologies. You were responding to difflock. I was rereading the post and somehow assumed you were responding to me. I'm the idiot. Either way the issue sounds very similar, both with recent IM lifts.

Flanges and CV's are fine. Did a bearing service a couple months ago. Flanges, teeth, c clip, both nuts and washer all good. Everything is OEM. Zero vibration at speed or under acceleration. Something is moving in the rear. It's baby's butt smooth at times and rumbly as hell others. Same roads...

EXACT same thing with mine. Installed the IM s2 kit with diff drop recently and I'm getting a super faint click when turning left. Just for a few seconds. Not an axel click. Almost sounds like the sway bar links are popping when the truck leans into the turn then it gradually returns to a...
