    What's your Ironman 4x4 bumper experience?

    Someone from Ironman posted on here that those recovery points you see on the IM website are not available in the US because they are not compatible with KDSS suspensions, which all US trucks have.

    Bilstein 6112/5160 Installed

    OEM for me. No problem at all getting the alignment within specs at the 4th perch.

    I think you'll be really happy with that setup. At the second perch and OEM rear springs, the truck should level out nicely.

    Bilstein 6112/5160 Installed

    I'm curious to see whether the rear of your truck sags when you load it up. Can you take measurements next time you do so?

    Bilstein 6112/5160 Installed

    I do seem to notice a bit more nose dive after the bumper was installed. Still not as much as when I had the stock setup.

    It's definitely more firm than stock, but I wouldn't say it was harsh. Interesting that your OME heavy springs give you the same height with a winch and bull bar. I would have thought you would be higher on that setup. Is the cable on your winch steel or dynema? There's another thread in...

    LF: 21.6 RF: 22.0 Springs are the Bilstein 6112s.

    Bilstein 6112/5160 Installed

    Fronts are set at 4th Perch. I'm debating whether to pull the front strut assembly and move them to the 5th perch. It obviously has rake at the current setup, but I'm sure it will level out with a load in the rear. I'm hesitant because I certainly don't want reverse rake under load.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    I'll post some better ones once I get time to take good pics. The truck has the Bilstein 6112/5160 (2.25") lift.

    Bilstein 6112/5160 Installed

    For those who are curious how this setup handles a front bumper, I installed an ARB Summit bumper on my truck. No winch at this point. I was expecting the front to drop, but so far I've only seen a slight drop in the left front of about .15" from the settled height (the front dropped .25" after...

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    I installed an ARB Summit Bumper. It took me about 15 hours over two days, and I'm still not 100% finished. But, I took my time and tried to make sure everything was just right. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

    thoughts on Amazon winches?

    Look closely at Rough Country and compare it to the winches from ZeSuper (Amazon), Ironman, Harbor Freight Badlands, etc. It too appears to be from that same manufacturer.

    thoughts on Amazon winches?

    I'm fairly certain this is the same basic winch that has been rebranded with slight cosmetic changes by many different Australian suppliers, including Ironman, Ridge Ryder, Carbon, and Runva. If you look closely at the electrical connections and basic design, they all appear to be essentially...

    Ironman bumper experience: disappointing and costly

    I ordered the Premium bumper for the 16+ but ended up cancelling the order when I learned of the fitment issues OP describes and the fact that you cannot install rated recovery points to the front. Unfortunately, the bumper had already been shipped, so I will have to eat the shipping costs...

    TX: Hidden Falls Saturday 3/27

    Man, I would love to make this trip but I've got plans for Saturday. I've been wanting to hit HF for years now. Hit me up if you're looking for company on future trips around the state.

    Lets see some pics of your FJ Cruisers

    200 LC owner here, but today I was looking at old pics and came across this one I took of this FJ almost 6 years ago on Black Bear Pass near Telluride. This was July 2015. I was riding my mountain bike there at the time and was impressed with how steep and gnarly this trail was. From this pic...

    Bilstein 6112/5160 Installed

    Here are my numbers after the lift was installed and after realingment. I'm no expert on alignment, but these numbers appear well within specs.

    Bilstein 6112/5160 Installed

    I'm on the 4th perch and was able to align it within specs no problem on OEM UCAs. Still, as many have pointed out in this forum, just because you are able to align within specs does not mean that you have optimal alignment, so upgraded UCAs are never a bad idea.
