I would imagine most are running 33's. That's what I have, 285/75/16 BFG KO2's.
I have been running one of the first sets of these Iron Man Pros that was shipped to the US. I am still very pleased with them.
I run 305/65/18's
I run 305/65/18's
Confirmed from MetalTech4x4 that D/S goes on the passenger side in the US and N/S goes on the driver side. Ugh. Mine were installed "incorrectly" (not the installer's fault), so I'll be getting the rear up on jack stands this afternoon to lower the axle and swap them side to side.
I'm thinking it won't take too long to undo the sway bar frame brackets, loosen/remove the parking brake line, etc. brackets, remove the two lower shock bolts, and lower the axle. I dont have the old springs, so I'll need to remove one, then the other, then swap the sides. I'll need to redo the torsion bar tension in the front as well to get the correct height/rake and droop based on the new rear heights.
Thanks for the help everyone.
That is not as simple as turning the front torsion bars up to match.
There is a lot a data here about the proper way to do Tbars and how much droop you must maintain.
I find the stock kit Ironman rear Springs to be too tall unless the truck is heavily loaded.
I chose Slee Heavy rears because they handed the weight but were 1” shorter.
This is an old thread of mine but there is a lot of good info on correct droop in it.

275 70 r18 Falken wild peak at3 ends up being 33", 18" tundra/sequoia steel spare tire wheels. Lift, shocks, tires transformed this vehicle. Great all around performance and ride.

Yep, I have the same ones.
I am so bummed that I waited to order my kit on the black Friday Metal Tech sale. Only to find out a few days later my order had become a pre order. So now I have to wait until the middle of firkin January before it will even ship lol. I will be balls deep in snow installing my lift to get my truck back on the road lol. Judging by what has been said here I seriously can't wait. Lookin good fellas.

Does this kit include the 9 way adjustable shocks front and rear?
No sir, but ride is great so far.
How would you rate the softness compared to stock on a scale 1 thru 5
I would guess it is a bit stiffer, less body roll in corners...2 with 5 being a lot stiffer.... I like it a lot.
Taking it in tomorrow for new front axles....decoded to go with OEM and not rebuild...anyone need the old ones, 98k miles on them.
I'm interested. How much? Message me if you like.
You'll need to climb under the truck and look at the part numbers on the rear springs. Part of the it will show either D/S or N/S. D/S should be on the passenger side for North American trucks, with N/S on the driver side.
Took me about an hour to swap them side to side using jack stands to hold up the truck and two jacks to manipulate the rear-end, raising and lowering each side as need to remove the springs. Made about a half inch difference in ride height in the rear.
Dude that’s tight!
Love the steelies on an LX470....
Would love to roll into the Lexus dealer with that!
