Help with Ironman lift kit install

[Dog in Da Cruiser]

Hi everyone, Ive been tackling the the installation of my Ironman Foamcell pro 2 inch stage 3 lift. There is very little information online and I had a couple questions.

Ive got four large bushing which I can only assume are for the radius arms (see photo below). These bushings seem to be offset to allow for adjustable caster, from what I can find online they allow for 2.5 - 3.5 degrees of caster correction. If I am only installing a 2 inch lift what would be the best way to position these?

I'd just look up a few good google images or whatever and press them in at about what that looks like

Do yourself a favor and get delta radius arms or ironman drop brackets. Bushings are last resort and you will need to eventually change them out if you do offloading. You can also do landtank caster plates.

Thanks for the advice, from what I can see online radius drop brackets as well as caster correction plates add more than 2.5 - 3.5 degrees of caster. Would that do any harm only going with a 2 inch lift? You mentioned bushings being a last resort, because Toyota utilizes bushings from the factory don't you eventually need to change them anyways, what would be the difference going with an aftermarket offset bushing besides maybe quality or material used?

I have the same 2" lift and started with the offset bushings and now have Delta arms w/ OEM bushings. The thing with offset bushings is that they don't get you that much caster correction and they reduce radius arm articulation since the hole in the bushing is offset. You can get by with them but it's suboptimal. If you drive a good amount and it's in the budget, the aftermarket arms or brackets are noticeably better.

Attached is the bushing template that I used for the offset bushings.

Install the lift and see how it is without the correction first. I never had issues with the 2" C59-222Vs I had on my older 80.

Awesome, Thank you! I might just go with aftermarket radius arms.
