Iron Man Pro Foam Review

[abuck99]

About 1yr into my foam cell pros and have a fair bit of added weight on both ends- quite happy with ride quality and trail performance.

I don't think youll be disappointed .

Does anyone any experience with this lift kit?

Landcruiser 100 Performance with FOAM CELL PRO shock suspension kit

We still love our iron man fcp on our 100. It's completely stock. I have the adjustable tjm foam cells on my 80 and like the ride of the iron man a little better

Sure. It's a great kit unless you have no weight in the rear. The springs that come with it are tall. It takes a rear bumper and drawers to give you a level ride.

Any leads on vendors for shocks only?

Give MARIO a call at Topline Performance in Huntington Beach,CA. Tell him Sean sent you!

I have a set on my 100 and have nothing but things to say.

100 & 200 Landcruiser REAR shock - Foam Cell Pro (one shock)

Rears are in stock on their site (where I got mine from), but it looks like the fronts are not.

Thanks. This helps. I have everything stock except for BFG 31s. I don't care much for a big lift and no plan for front or rear bumper but want a good replacement for stock shocks and good for wheeling.

Looking at these, what's the best way to get these and which coils would you recommend for a 1-1.5" lift? Slee recommends OME865. Any other suggestions for a level ride?

Side question - does one need a Slee diff drop kit if using the Pro Foams? I can start a separate thread if not related.

In case anyone was waiting, front and rear Foam Cell Pro's are back in stock for the 100 at Ironman America:

100 & 200 Landcruiser REAR shock - Foam Cell Pro (one shock)

Landcruiser 100 Series Front Shock Absorber - Foam Cell Pro

 

[stonekutters]

I am thinking of the following configuration, any suggestions or thoughts on this config?

2 x OME865 Rear Coil Springs for 1.5" lift
2 x Pro Foam Front (45795FE)
2 x Pro Foam Rear (45796FE)
2 x Pro Foam Torsion Bars (TOY050)
1 x Slee Diff Drop Kit

Why not just go with the Ironman kit since you have most of the components listed anyway? You would be using their springs, and the kit comes with the torsion bar reinforcements. The diff drop would be bought separately.

Per @wngrog above "It's a great kit unless you have no weight in the rear. The springs that come with it are tall. It takes a rear bumper and drawers to give you a level ride."

I will just have the 2 extra seats in the back, no rear bumper or drawers, and prefer a level ride. Thoughts?

The Kit Iron Man rear springs
Are way too tall. Don't do it

 

[wngrog]

I would get the 866 progressive rates though. It's such a great spring.

I see. In that case the 865's sound like they'd work well for your setup.

I AM IN LOVE. These shocks put me back to the stock ride feel!

 

[SmoothLC]

That good, huh? What were you running before @smileyboy?

 

[Bigvalley]

Just ordered my kit, got tired of those damn OME's. I dealt direct with IRONMAN, call them and ask for John. Very helpful plus you can't beat the free shipping.

Just put the Ironman 2'' Kit with the Foam Cell Pros, with SPC UCAs and a Trail Taylor Diff Drop. The ride is great and feels very smooth over bumps, so I am super satisfied. This was coming from stock shocks with 200K on them. I like the rake with the Ironman Rear Springs, front is slightly lower than rear. I do not have any weight in the rear, but have a front bumper.
