mountainman06 · 06-29-2009, 02:00 PM

I just got my truxxx lift kit installed and am really happy with the results its not much but it makes a difference. looks real nice too seems to take bumps alot better but feel a little more top heavy as it should with the lift but overall im satisfied and it dosent change the smoothness of my ride at all

*Sams01XplrSprt* · 06-29-2009, 05:56 PM

*dothedeww* · 06-30-2009, 05:51 PM

mountainman06 · 07-03-2009, 01:21 PM

You do have independant suspension right? Holy cow, where did you get a lift at?
I have a 07 Ironman 2 wd and want to lower or Lift it but I haven't been able to find anything.
Eibach has a lowering kit but they aren't going to sell it yet because of driveshaft flutter.

adrnlnrush · 08-22-2009, 08:55 PM

How much drop will the Eibach give?

oz64cobra01 · 08-22-2009, 09:14 PM

They didn't give an amount but the driveshaft or driveline flutter was the issue.
They said it was on the back burners, that was in 07 when I called them.
Been pretty busy since then, so I haven't called them back.

JoeCool6972 · 08-24-2009, 08:40 AM

For lift kits see the 02-05 section on here. The suspension is identical. ####################### makes one. So does TRUXXX.
And BTW... I have a 2.5" roadbully Offroad kit for sale...

(EDIT) HAD one for sale, now it is sold!

mountainman06 · 08-24-2009, 10:59 AM

yeah i have independent suspension truxxx made my lift kit i got it from fatbobsgarage.com its a pretty decent difference though

oz64cobra01 · 08-24-2009, 06:03 PM

Eibach dropped the kit because not enough people were interested they said. Talked to them today. It would have been a 2 1/2 " drop front and rear.

UIN2IT · 08-28-2009, 07:23 AM

Guess I'll have to stick with my 1.5" Drop I currently have then! hee hee
Maybe we can get Eibach to AT LEAST make replacement Struts for us! There are ZERO struts/shocks on the market now for the 06+ Xplorers and 07+ Trac's!! (other than ford replacement $$$$)

Lowering an Ironman Ed. would be a travesty.

What makes a custom vehicle custom? That is what I ask you. Plus the amount of power/ torque will be insane with twin turbos. So you see, closer to the ground will be better. It is 2 wd.

bender · 09-03-2009, 12:28 PM

Agreed, 2wd I see no problem dropping. I am a bit surprised that they make a 2wd ironman edition. kind of clashes with the rugged appearance etc...

I know, I know, I just think they look really rugged/badass and were meant to be lifted, but to each his own.
