Haha you were 100% right on that one. It is heads and shoulders above the last kit. It works as one unit. And I might have a surprise for you on my kit. Wait and see.

It is a great kit. I just finished the Alpine Loop in Colorado with it and it held up amazing. So smooth. Massive improvement.

Thank you very much man. All the hard work is starting to show. I really appreciate it!!!!

Thank you very much. Glad I could help!!!

Thank you very much and may the force be with you.

Thank you. I completely agree. I still wake up in a cold sweat thinking I might have to do that again.

Really. That is crazy. The Foam Cell Shocks were supposedly created to decrease shock fade from overheating and frothing. Have you called Ironman. They have a crazy long warranty!

Adventure Built unfortunately had to get rid of the truck. I think the reason I was seeing fade was due to the decreased amount of oil (with the foam taking up space) in the shocks leading to a lessened ability to disperse heat. That would make them a little ineffective on washboard roads within 5-10 minutes. That said I really do expect yours to perform better with, what seems like, a few great improvements. Thanks for posting your videos, your cab mount relocate one was really great too!

Great news. They nailed that one. Sucks for the rest of us that actually want to remove that bolt on purpose.

Thank you very much! You are gonna love it.

What did you end up going with and why?

@@true_identity so far neither. Other expenses keep taking priority. I do think i am going to do the IM kit. Good price when on sale and the foam.cells are as close to resivor shocks you can get without the added cost. My only concern w the IM kit is the leafs springs. The little I have found say they are stiff. So much to consider

We swapped out the UCA on Trevor’s 4Runner and 1 it was way easier and 2 we still weren’t able to get the torque wrench on it. I’m have to look into a more low profile torque wrench. It’s becoming a reoccurring issue. Thanks for the info.

Well damn that is a great idea. I’ll tuck that away for next time. Thanks man.

Yes they actually flattened out and would reverse arch during compression.

Well greetings friend. Basically if I am understanding your question you want to know if +5 will give you a factory ride. Unfortunately no. You will have a very hoppy ride unless your truck is really heavy with steep bumpers and lots of gear. Hope this helps.

The shock too...:-\

Good tip thx.

Thanks brotato!!!!

I have since upgraded from Eibach to the Ironman Nitro to Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro and the Foam Cell Pro’s are amazing. Trevor has over 100k miles on his with not a single issue. Best bang for the buck suspension out there.

Honestly I would go with the Ironman Foam Cell Pro kit because the kit is completely adjustable and go with the medium load leaf springs. Hope this helps.

@@AdventureBuilt how do their UCAs hold up. I was told to get a different brand

I doubt removing the fenders would help since it would take forever to get them off and back on and aligned. The cab mount relocate moves the body mount back so it doesn’t interfere with tire travel with bigger tires.

It is great on the road. No complaints.

They should be back in stock soon it is one hell of a deal! Thanks.

Richard Sveum I have only seen the springs in neon green which I think looks cool compared to black and grey of stock. Plus the neon green is Ironman’s color. I honestly didn’t even think of installing grease zerks but don’t know if I would. Ironman must think they will last a long time. I guess time will tell.

Hey man. Thanks for checking out the video. My experience so far with a side by side comparison of the Nitro and Foam Cell Pro aren’t the greatest. I have the Nitro shocks on my Tacoma and Trevor has Foam Cell Pro on his 4Runner. I have spent lots of time in both vehicles but they are different enough vehicles to not have a true side by side comparison. I think on the street the Nitro and Foam Cell Pro and almost the same. I don’t think the Foam Cell Shocks cycle enough to really show what they can do. Now in the desert on the average trail again the Nitro and Foam Cell are neck and neck. Where I have seen the difference is when Trevor and I are blasting down washboard and rutted our forest service roads maybe going a little faster than we should. That is were the Foam Cell Pro really show up the Nitros. I think the Foam Cell Pros stay more responsive for longer. I’m actually about to switch the Tacoma over to the Foam Cell Pro and I’m gonna try to make a comparison video. It might be a couple months away but it should happen. I hope this helps.

@@AdventureBuilt Appreciate the thorough reply. Yes, that definitely helps. Sounds like the Nitros will be just fine for what I'm doing. Excited to see your nxt comparison video. Cheers

Honestly I didn’t even know there was a drivers side and a passenger side but it all went together great. Mine sits level and has lots of flex!!! Thx for watching.

No cons they are awesome.

I think it depends on how much you want to spend. The Eibach Kit is great at that price point but for a few hundred more dollars you get a lot more. It really depends on how much you want to spend. Honestly you can’t go wrong with either.

@@AdventureBuilt ok cool thanks for the reply! So what would your recommendation be for around 1k or less?

They Foam Cell Pro is absolutely awesome. The best bang for the buck for sure!!! Nitrogen shocks aren’t bad I just like the longevity and antifade of the FCP. I so go for it.

You are completely correct. I often mess up the terminology when the camera is on. It’s a weird ism!!! Thanks for picking that up.

OddBall Overland Media lol so you mean tie rod, right? There’s no such thing as a tie “rode”.

No problems here. I added the add-a-leaf to the pack. All good.

@@AdventureBuilt Thanks man

The lift is about 2.5” and the sway bar spacer makes more room for the shock to travel without running the risk it the two touching.

I just installed the Foam Cell Pros on my Tacoma and will be doing a comparison and review video shortly.

@@AdventureBuilt Nice! Definitely looking forward to an in depth review of the kit.

Mario Perez hey thanks man. No it’s a 2.5” lift with a Cab Mount Relocate and a lot of fender trimming and body seam pounding.

@@AdventureBuilt oh thanks! My truck came with a dealer installed ready lift 3&2 but anything off pavement and its horrible definitely looking to upgrade.

I put it back on. Highway driving without out felt terrible. To much body roll for my taste.

No not at all.

The kit doesn’t come with one but I would suggest getting one. It just makes more look to clear the shocks.

Adventure Built will do Gonna order one now. Watched 20 different install videos. Yours was the best and most informative. Wish me luck on the install

No. No vibration or movement after the lift. Everything is nice and tight.

Why do you ask this? Do you knoe ehat is causing these issues?

I think I actually got the performance constant leaf springs with upgraded arches. Just kidding man. I have no idea what springs they are. The website might have that info. If you can’t find it let me know and I’ll talk to Ironman and find out for you. Cheers.

I ended up with almost 3”.

@@AdventureBuilt so you bought the 2.5'' and ended up with almost 3''? about how many miles can one get out of these shocks & struts if you are driving on pavement about 99% of the time? any clue? sorry for all the questions but I am also looking to purchase this same kit. not much videos on KZfaq about this kit & 3rd Tacoma's

@@dee151 I only have about 15k miles on my Foam Cell Pro kit but Trevor has over 115k miles on his Foam Cell Pro shocks and still going strong.

No such luck. The body seam goes right over the path. Crazy engineering.

It is definitely recommended to get an alignment after any suspension work.

I’m running the BGF KM3 35x12.5r17 with the Method 701 Trail Series in a 0 offset. I wish I had the -12mm to kick the wheel out just a pinch. I have the slightest rub on the inside of the frame.

The kit is excellent. I just upgraded the shocks to the Foam Cell Pros and they rock. I posted a video last week explaining the difference between Nitro and Foam Cell Pro’s. Check it out and let me know what you think.

@@AdventureBuilt I was just looking at those ... sweet I’ll check it out thx man

@@AdventureBuilt how much lift do you have on your truck.

The Ironman UCA’s gave me about a quarter inch more clearance but it really shines in the adjustability for the alignment. It also seems to just work better with the kit.

Perfect thanks

Sorry my friend I already have plans for it.

Yea good call. All fixed now with the new kit. Thx.

Let’s just say that I explained it correctly. I might have installed it upside and then fixed it but forgot to film that part. Don’t know if you can tell but it was 104 degrees out and I was really struggling at that point. That is why I look like I got kicked in the nuts at the end.

given they did most of the install wrong or in the most unsafe manner, it wouldn't surprise me. but hey I guess the engineers at Toyota don't know what they are doing when making a truck lol

This guy is a joke sometimes.

What would you consider the best overland suspension set up?

@@driveshift Anything ARB makes. The Old Man Emu BP-51s or even just their normal stuff (the nitrocharger line)

@@GM-122 Have fun rebuilding bp51s. Also used to run nitrocharger sport. Now runs FCP.
