The 100 series rear Timbren's fit the 80 better if you run a tire less than a 40". Dont forget to lower the rear OEM coil cone bump same as what you lowered the rear frame bump. The front Timbren bumpstop will need to be slid all the way forward pluss drill center hole forward another .5" See GW Nuggets lx450 build page 46.

I have a question for you experts in the 4x4 sector! (and I would like to know if you can tell me if it is true that the ironman nitro gas shock absorbers go well with the original set-up and can be adapted with the +5? I have a Suzuki jimny 4x4 with m13a 1.3 l petrol engine with shock absorbers and standard settings, yesterday afternoon I picked up the new ironman nitro gas shock absorbers and the 4x4 spare parts dealer in Florence told me that these ironman nitro gas shock absorbers are ok for 4x4 off-road vehicles with stock trim or in a second you could put the springs higher and it becomes a +5 high trim is that true? Greetings from Florence Italy!)

Interesting that 13:01 is facing the frame. It seems that part would be facing downward to help slide off obstacles.

Just read their site: "The long support brace on the arm faces upwards. This is to strengthen the overall arm and prevent it from bending under an extreme hit offroad." I think I'll also weld this on my ironman4x4 arms.

And thanks for the tips on how to adjust the rear links. Very clear instructions and saves me from buying a new DC drive shaft from Tom Woods. Front shaft will definitely need one, though. Based on your lift, you might need one too.

The shocks? I haven't seen people run limit straps on a solid axle. I think thats primarily for CV axles on IFS

The shocks in extreme flex/drop situations but also the sway bars help to slow "down travel" before you reach the end of the shock extension. Thats the way Mr. T designed it so it's good enough for me :) I think you had mentioned it but there is a tight "friendship" if you will, between shock length (compressed and extended) and spring height in suspension setup on an 80. You want the pairing just right so when the shock is fully extended the spring is almost fully extended. On the other side (fully compressed) you have to be careful to have the right bump stops so they limit up travel to just before full compression on the shock. A lot of math there, glad companies like Dobinsons and OME have done tons of R&D and can pair shocks/springs correctly! Honestly, it's quite surprising how much travel you can get with the stock length shocks on the 80. You can go 2.5 inches+ and still have good flex results with stock length shocks. 3" and above you gotta start getting into longer shocks and bump stops...and track bars, adjustable links, camber correction, front driveshaft, etc. Ahh, its like a snowball of money rolling down a hill. Love your 80 and that kit.
