ironman double check

[krisP]

needed some new suspension parts for my DD so i figured why not upgrade. Just a double check to make sure everything is "right". Oh and btw first post, been a lurker for a while :icon_lol:

this is for my 07 limited
-ironman hd kit ( come with 4" rear shocks?)
-teraflex bump stops
-JBA strut spacer plates
-extra rear isos

will i need JBA a-arms or should i be clear? thanks in advance:gr_grin:

If you plan on doing a clevis lift as well I would suggest JBA arms. With that setup you will probably have a pretty mean rake to the front.

If you are only doing top plates then you'll be at 2.75 inches of lift sitting at 21.75 inches middle of the wheel/ bottom of the flare so no would not need the JBA UCAs

One upper iso on each side should put it pretty level when done, maybe a slight down in front but shouldn't be much

thanks tom.

biggest tires i could run with this without any concern of regearing ?(R17 limited)

and for knowledge sake, at what height are new(JBA) uca's required ?

With that amount 245-70-16s or 255-70-16s would work well
Pounding over the pinch weld and may get 245-75-16s on depends on tire/ tread design( mudder/ A/T etc )
JBA UCAs are nice to have at any lift but anytime you get into the 3 inch plus its almost a given that you'll need to upgrade

He has 17" rims Tom

Thats his problem then isn't it:shrug::happy175::happy175:
whatever size matches to the above, go for it
go to tirerack and compare
personally I'd ditch the 17s anyways

lift is in, still need alignment but sitting at about 22 1/2 all the way around.... seems like too much to me . Have the HD springs, 1/4 inch top plate in front and extra iso in the back

Will go down 1/2 inch or so after alignment , or most times it does at least that much

 

[krisP]

thanks once again. The alignment is definitly terrible right now thats for sure. the lift looks more dramatic than i thought it would, i love it.

I grew up on a farm working on tractors and what not but this is my first solo at a vehicle suspension, it was a blast. Should have went to school to be a mechanic not a doctor :emotions34:

 

[GYPSY400]

I just did an ironman lift too.. lots of room between the uca and struts with no weight on the suspension

yeah i could fit my hand between them. I plan on getting als a-arms soonish anyway though.

 

[LibertyTC]

Ya the 4.5 Arms make the handling package complete, better alignment too.
It's always nice to know you have a new coffee holder too!!! :gr_grin:
