I think this is enough, I won't try a bodylift. Swambo is complaining about getting in & out at this hight
I think she wants me to install a dropped suspension

Re: Ironman suspension done
hey guys,
iv been doing my ironman lift kit over the last 2days and wow didnt realise just how annoying tortion bars are and how hard it is to get the drivers side one out.
the front ends all done and its at 95cm from ground to wheel arch. is that about right? before it was on 89cm
also its got brand new 31" tyres
at least the rear should be alot easier. i hope.

Re: Ironman suspension done
Do the front bolt first, then the shackle side loosly. line up the axle & install u-bolts.
If you measure from the floor, you might include a flatter tyre on one side, so measure as I did in my ilistration

hilux surf's have coils on the rear, making the whole job easier.
