Yes FCP
Haven’t drove it yet still working on a list of things I’m doing to it.

This is around 2.5-3" of lift on the front. This is an older picture of when I had a 1" diff drop installed. I have since removed it so I will take a picture of how it looks now and update this post.

That’s pretty flat, closer to my old TJM medium lift.
Right now I’m sitting around 24.5 from center of the hub to fender.
FCP heavy’s.
It just looks tall to me .

Lifted to 23.25" in the front.
Found a use for my inclinometer now that I can't go skiing
. 10 degrees but obviously that's not exact

Side note: Napa CVs have a sweet warranty but they rust. I'm rebuilding some OEMs to replace them.

This is my first IFS build, so it looks like I need to start doing some reading.

These were prebuilt from metal tech and was hoping I wouldn’t have to mess with them.
Sounds like I need to lower them about and inch.

Well I’ve done some reading, and from what I can tell. Ironman says the spring seat hight on a 120 is 214 mm =8.425 mine are measuring 246 mm = 9.7 so I got to bring it down.
This is why I’ve got a little over 4 inches of Lift.

Pre-built Ironmans from Metal-tech 4x4? Must have been purchased awhile ago as we discontinued carrying the IM4x4 brand mid-last yr.
As for the angle if you don't need that much lift, definitely back the pre-load off to the minimum height you need to relieve stress on your CV boots. It can be done on the truck, just a bit harder to reach with the IM4x4 design of the threaded area being below. Way easier to remove pre-load on an FCP that it is to dial more in as the official IM4x4 suggestion is to remove them from the truck and use a spring compressor to do adjustments.
If you have any questions please reach out to our support team. 9:30-4 PM M-F (temporary pandemic hours)

Thanks Mark already took care of it and back on the road
Yeah bought them about two years ago for you just now put them on.
P.S. it was nice to meet and see you at coal miners last year.
Cool deal. We are always here to help anytime. I think the record to date is just over 12yrs on a "I bought it a while back and just now installing" phone call. (FJ40 roll cage kit) So 2yrs is all good.
It was outstanding meeting everyone at the Classic last yr. I do look forward to getting back out again, my son and I had a blast.
