Iron man lift.....loving it
We discussed how the club mostly runs OME lifts back when i was window shopping and thought i would share my experience with IM. I have only put 6k on the lift but really like the handling, stance, and dampening.
I originally did the iron man 2 in lift with foam cell shocks but the cvs had to be rebooted and after continued leaking I installed the slee dif drop kit. The boots are now good to go. Rob installed the lift buT it came with great directions and is pretty straight forward.
The iron man kit was cheaper by $400 dollars and I had excellent customer service when my original shipment arrived and I had a busted shock ( free upgrade to foam cells!).
I also used martins research and redid all bushings/ hardware on the front sway bars and saw dramatic improvements.
The truck corners better, has lost the body roll and feels very solid on Jackson roads while empty or while hauling the "beach configuration" for 2 kids and a wife for a week. My opinion is that the IM lift is an excellent fit for moderate wheeling and family duty. I can't speak for heavy use as my needs don't require heavy bumpers, recovery gear, or extreme harsh use.
The only complaint from my 5 foot 2 in wife is the height lifting the car seat in. The metal tech sliders are an excellent step/ slider combo and have saved one high center situation at a buddies farm and 2 known door dings in parking lots.
My TB was done at 112k and I will roll 207k this week so the TB will probably be next at about 135k.
Overall, can't say enough good things about iron man. Anyone is welcome to drive it for comparison. I think with time and good recommendations they offer great gear for the 100 platform.
