    Anyone know the extended and collapsed measurements for the ironman foam cell pro struts part number 45710FE and shock part number 45682FEC?

    Also do any coil springs fit on the strut(since its 2.8" wide)?

    Thanks

    Anyone? I emailed ironman directly, multiple times and no response. Which doesn't surprise me since others stated how poor their customer service is.

    I did not reply even though I have them because I don't have answers to any. :(

    extended and collapsed measurements for the ironman foam cell pro? - Sorry no idea. Hope factory give you this info.
    do any coil springs fit on the strut(since its 2.8" wide)? Since I got them per-assembled I don't have knowledge on that either.

    Edit -

    how poor their customer service is. - Yep, their customer service didn't even told me they have 1.5in stock weight rear springs and making me buy 2in spring. When I found 1.5in springs from their web site didn't even have courtesy to to cancel the to cancel the kit with 2in spring and ship me with 1.5in spring. Even when I request can I get a return shipping label they denied it too even though they hide info from me that they have 1.5in spring. Even if I spend my own money to ship it back there will be a restocking fee. I end up selling the 2in rear springs myself at a loss.

    Have you tried the chat from their website? I have had good luck getting answers there.

    Sorry my specs where for the rear shocks.

    I'm trying to find a 10" travel rear shocks that works with my rear setup since I have less then 1" of rear lift. I'm running eibach shocks but the rear shock runs out of stroke at 4" of droop(no rear sway bar either)

    Any technical documentation they have vs verbal communication? Since I got false info from chat I would like to see any documentation as proof.

    Fox are at 8.76" per the site. I'm not able to reach King site to check their specs.

    Sorry no, I got the info from a chat with them.

    Its also hard to find a good riding rear shock with no added weight.

    Where did you get that 10" travel number from? With a 1" lift rear spring, there is a good chance your spring would come loose with a 10" travel shock. Also a good chance you would be limiting your up travel with that long of a shock.


    Happy to help you narrow down options and get you a custom tuned (free) set of rear shocks. Let us know!

    Other than from Jeep world for 4Runner world do we have that kind of flex options? Are the Kings top for most travel?

    I was slowly looking at +2 vs +3.5 and standard vs expedition long travel kits for future plan. Trying to understand how easy / hard to maintain. Looks like lubricating ball joint is something I could do but not the bushings. Also wasn't sure about optional axle shaft maintenance. Wish you could do a video on that. By seeing this post looks like I'm not the only one eying for similar setup. :D

    Spring coming unseated does not have to be done while flexing the suspension. King is not the top for most travel.
