Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro Suspension Kit For Toyota 100 Series Land Cruiser & LX470 | Install Guide

[@danielsulistio3847]

Thank you for the detailed instructions. I've completed it in my garage with 15hrs of labor total. One thing i do to level the car at the end is to tighten the driver side torsion bar a bit more than factory setup, and loosen the passenger side about 4 times as much as what i do on the driver side. At the end, i got total 2 inch as you advertised. Front driver & passenger height from ground to fender 36 inch. Rear driver height 37.875 inch (higher due to slightly longer pigtail) Rear passenger height 37.5 inch.

[@Ironman4x4America]

Thank you for the support! Glad we could help.

[@WolfmansProductions]

I was able to disconnect the AHC computer with out removing the paneling/trim. It is fairly accessible. Used a long flatblade screwdriver to pop the release clips and push the connectors off. Took 2 minutes. My dash clips are brittle(Arizona Heat) I didn't want a can of worms. Hopefully this helps. Great video! Helped a lot with the installation. Thanks!!!!

[@Ironman4x4America]

Nice!

[@benkenobi01]

Thanks for the tip! I was able to do the same thing. Took me longer than two minutes 😂 but otherwise was exactly as you described. You really gotta jam your head all the way in the foot well to see, but still much faster and preferable to taking all that stuff apart.

[@CameronRides]

Absolutely great video! We were able to get the job done in 2 days on yeh garage floor. Great tips for a fairly easy install!

[@petelinden7879]

Just did this on my land cruiser 100, a note that all the top shock bolts (front and rear) were 19mm, not 22mm. Also, that rear passenger side lower shock hoop seems to fuse really easily to the mount point. Had to angle grind the hoop off and scrape the rubber bushing off to be able to wrench it loose. Excellent video, this process went super smoothly because of it!

[@bowmaster24]

The timing couldn’t be better. Got my lift in today!

[@Ironman4x4America]

Awesome, enjoy!

[@NigelNaughton]

Great tutorial... This is why you buy an 80 series 😝😉

[@Mr.Preston3991]

I took some maesurements on mine and it was all off because of how I took my maesurements. I'll take your advice and take maesurements from a solid point on my wheel!

[@ahmedkwilani2627]

Hi, i deleted the Ahc for lexus lx470 but the torison bars still the old one is that problem or dangers?

[@theninja001]

The torsion bar is not strong enough to hold the weight without the AHC, get a stock Landcruiser torsion bar

[@davidgarrett3780]

What size drill bit did you use for the torsion bar support holes you drilled for the LX470?

[@Ironman4x4America]

Don't recall, but use a bit size that matches the bolt diameter to start. Should not be any larger than the holes in the BRACKET100 brackets.

[@markbreaux6613]

This was a great Tutorial! 😎👍

[@Ironman4x4America]

Thank you!

[@ToddManning-zh2vp]

How much do those nice aftermarket bumpers contribute to the extra wear or failure of the stock AHC system? Honest question as I really like the aftermark bumpers.

[@Gankiao]

Very clear video, very professional shooting. Very helpful information!

[@Socaloverlander]

Are the torsion bars supposed to have different lengths after you tightened them ?

[@makenabrendel8233]

My shocks came with one plastic boot and the other three come with rubber boots. Is this correct? I put the shock with the plastic boot on the rear drivers side.

[@brkbtjunkie]

Does it really increase the payload or does it just allow for better handling characteristics when fully loaded?

[@Ironman4x4America]

The suspension upgrade will properly support the additional weight of any added accessories, improve handling and performance on and off road.

[@nelsonzumosa9248]

Does the suspension kit for LC200 fit on Land Cruiser 100 ?

[@ttt97]

I wanted to know on the Lx470 why does the driver side sit higher then the passenger side even with the torsion bars cranked.?

[@TimCassidy]

Hi I’m going to try install these myself shortly. I noticed that i have inner coil bump stops on my 1997 prado 95 and one of them are broken in half. Can’t seem to find replacement here but i can find plenty of the chassis mounted rear bump stops. I noticed you don’t use the inner coil bump stops. Could i getaway without using them when i install my coils if i use the chassis bumpstops or is the 90 series different to the 95 series long wheel base? Best demo video online for this install by the way. Keep them coming 😎

[@SlickVisionair]

Just finished installing my lift, i have a question though. Is it recommended to lower the panhard bar after the lift? My axle is slightly offset at this point and ive been looking at panhard bracket extensions.

[@jamesmbryant6349]

Is there a need to purchase a larger upper control arm?

[@Ironman4x4America]

The Ironman 4x4 UCA has many benefits. After lifting your vehicle over 2.5" your stock UCA's might not have the capability to make the appropriate alignment adjustments. The Ironman 4x4 UCAs will allow for more caster adjustment during your alignment. Visit our website for more information.

[@limixz28]

So it looks like the panhard is at a much greater angle than stock height, do you need to fix this?

[@Ironman4x4America]

We do offer an adjustable panhard bar but we only recommend it if after a lift install you have rear axel alignment issues. It works great to help correct track. But not always critical so check with an alignment shop first to see if you need it before you spend money on a problem you may not have

[@albertliang4076]

What’s the name of the 22mm ratchet, I didn’t find anything similar, that tool seems handy compared just straight cut out the ahc top.

[@Ironman4x4America]

They are called a swivel head or flex head combination ratchet wrench, made by most common brands out there. Its a great tool to have for this job and no need to cut holes in your truck!

[@ابوناصرالهليلي]

thank yo the woork LXZ

[@yevgenykungurov574]

Good afternoon, friend. Thanks for your work, very cool video. The question is how to make an elevator tuning land cruiser 100 for 35 inch wheels. Thanks

[@brucemaster79]

What size tires are you running?

[@Wrenchmagnate]

What brand is that 22mm Flex wrench? My FCP kit is on the way, and I want to get one ordered.

[@Ironman4x4America]

I think he used a Snap-on or a Mac Tool, but any tool company should have something like it.

[@MrVanFosson]

I have a LX 570, do you have anything yet?

[@Ironman4x4America]

Any 200 Series Land Cruiser suspension will bolt up to the LX570. The kick is the LX570's AVS and getting around that. There are some good solutions outlined on IH8MUD that you can research and see if it's something you want to tackle.

[@MrVanFosson]

@@Ironman4x4America I was more wondering about the various brackets ironman developed? I understand the suspension i.e. shocks and springs. The work around for the AVS system has been figured out for the LX 570, just now putting all the right pieces together.

[@MidAtlanticTV]

Well done.

[@loutwo]

what size tire was he running? was the AHC system stock? any rubbing?

[@Ironman4x4America]

The LX has Falken AT3W E1 275/70R18 (33.4”) tires, and no rubbing issues. It was the original AHC that needed to be serviced.

[@loutwo]

@@Ironman4x4America this is extremely helpful thank you so much

[@Ironman4x4America]

@@loutwo Happy to help, enjoy!

[@loutwo]

@@Ironman4x4America I have posted 2 vides about your bumper on my LX470, I love it, massively over built, and I love the look.

[@Ironman4x4America]

@@loutwo Happy to hear you love it! Thank you for your business.

[@Asian_Connection]

I can see the ironman metal doesn't have the same strength as oem. Its bending just by tightening the bolts.

[@charliewillkom]

Watching install videos on a car I don’t own 😂😂

[@lancefrederickzabala2477]

No springs in the front?

[@Ironman4x4America]

The 100 Series Land Cruiser and LX470 have torsion bars in the front from the factory. Only the 105 series Land Cruiser has coils in the front. Sadly it was never sold here in the US.

[@adarianalt]

There's aftermarket tuning kits - shocks with custom springs as they are realized in 200 series. In Russia this kit costs 700usd(front shocks with springs, rear springs) you can install any aftermarket shocks. Torsion bars are should be removed.

[@9greatdanes981]

Too bad someone can’t makes hydraulic shock upgrade

[@charliegiaquinto3505]

[@SolarErazer]

My Toyota lc100 can I add this ?

[@kj4362]

This dudes awesome lol

[@Petro_Ua]

Dead nuts 90 perfect 😂

[@runrobrunn]

Why this instead of old man emu

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

as an australian, we don't call the passenger side the near side

[@SolarErazer]

We have the Toyota Land Cruiser variant 2003 model V6 Petrol I want to raise it high

[@SupaHoon]

RIP AHC System. I would never rip mine out

[@Ironman4x4America]

Toyota's AHC is a great system and very much worth it to keep if it's still functioning. For some folks, it doesn't pencil out financially to service the AHC system when there is a component failure, so this is a reasonable secondary option that keeps the vehicle mobile.

[@Blacksheep40actual]

Not gonna lie watching you zip the torsion bar bolts out with an impact after I spent 2 days fighting them and breaking 2 breaker bars kinda irritated me. Soo sick of road salt

[@Ironman4x4America]

Don't lose hope, you'll get it! Let it soak in some Kroil for a couple of days and then try it again.

[@richardslater6185]

count yourself lucky - I had to cut the shocks out. 😭

[@UncleFjester]

WTF You never showed or measured the finished product! EPIC FAILURE!

[@Asian_Connection]

That's because it didn't level correctly and that is the most difficult part.

[@whoisjohngalt-hg5us]

I had these fitted to my 200 series and they were appalling even on sealed roads. The dealer gave me a full refund (Australia) as I made it VERY clear I wanted a near stock ride not one that made me piss blood after 10 minutes. I fitted Outback Armour adjustable shocks and it was like night and day. Regardless this is an informative well produced video.
