Suspension Upgrade in the 80 Series Land Cruiser Overland Build. Ironman 4x4 Lift Kit & Foam Cell

It's been about 9 months since I installed the Ironman 4x4 Suspension. I waited this long to make the video so I could give you guys my real thoughts and opinions after several overland trips.

1FZ engine great!! ランドクルーザー80とってもカッコ良い！！

[@SimplyMustGo]

The LC is sick! That suspension crushed it on the SCAR. I’ve been really impressed with all of Iron Man 4x4s stuff.

[@avpr1c]

I’m trying to get my 97 LC, the rust bucket, back in decent shape. It’s a journey for sure. These videos certainly help

[@NKPGarage]

Truck is looking great as always!

[@baktashtaghehchian2431]

Really great build so far. Looking forward to seeing more!

[@BeavBrodie1]

Thank you!

[@FzjClay]

Great video man. Very informative. I am looking for a good lift for my 80. This might be the one to go for! Enjoyed the scar series as well. Good stuff

[@Matt_K29910]

This makes me want to go out!

[@S3Magazine]

🤘🏽 that’s a SIGNIFICANT lift man! We’reall too familiar with the install day hiccups but love the customer service opportunity it provides. Ran into Matt at Jeep beach. His new trailer is wild 🤙🏽

[@BeavBrodie1]

🙌🏻 Sorry I missed you there.

Saludos desde 🇻🇪 excelente videos

[@CruisinMiles]

Awesome video dude. I’m currently running the Ironman4x4 medium springs with nitrocharged shocks. Holding up great, hope to upgrade to foam cell like yours!

[@BeavBrodie1]

Awesome. Thank you!

[@TheShooter466]

you don't need spring compressors to do springs on an 80 especially on a lift lol. just need leverage.

[@NigelNaughton]

I think the 91 and 92 80 series had the battery on the right side too so people can look at those years if they want to order it. I just got mine but use it for extra storage in the front...not for a dual battery. For most people doing that lift there are a couple of things that you might have to do like extended brake lines, breather tubes and extended swaybar links and possibly caster correction. ...just FYI for those thinking about it.

[@BeavBrodie1]

Good looking out. I agree some of those things are a must if you go over 2-3'' of lift.

[@saintsexy85]

Hi I got a question please. Did you put the ds spring in the left or in the right ? Also do u have a slight lean towards the drivers side ?

[@cosmozh]

What do you think about Fox Suspension on the LC??? Thanks

[@gabemiller9873]

Might ride pretty stiff, hope it feels plush!

[@rappeezy]

Man the number of times I almost died in my youth with spring compressors. Rite of passage for sure. Sorry about the shipping mixup, that sucks.

[@Kennylond]

Love your videos brother very informative! I decided to leave the Jeep world and jump into my first fzj80 . I was wondering with the 2.5 lift do you have to do any caster adjustments?

[@BeavBrodie1]

Thanks, Jesse. No camber adjustment is necessary at 2.5'' but you would want to if you did more of a lift than that. Hope this was helpful. - Beav

[@TLC94LS]

What size tires did you go with?

[@joserp191]

Aqui a la fj80 le dicen burbuja el modelo base autana en vzla hay muchas y Toyota aqui es tierra Toyota

[@scumcraft]

Beav, I have a 94 80 series the same color as yours. I went with Ironman4x4 2'' lift. Starting install this weekend. Did you have issues with stuck bolts or stripped threads? Going to soak everything in PB Blaster. Any issues with new bushings on lower control arms? That's the part that concerns me. It's a one shot deal.

[@BeavBrodie1]

No issues with anything rusted/stripped. I also didnt replace any of the control arms. Just springs and shocks. I’ll do mine in the next phase of things.

[@jgcruisers]

great trucks!! have a question for you. with the springs and the cell pros, did you have to swap or adjust your drive shaft in the front? what about the caster bushings? changed them? thanx. I have a 97, looking to replace the original suspension, but don't really know what to get.

[@BeavBrodie1]

Hey thanks, great questions. I did not have to replace anything because of the lift. 2.5” is very mild. At 4”+ you would want to consider replacing other components because the geometry will start to change. With that said you may have components that need to be replaced due to age and wear. Hope this was helpful.

[@jgcruisers]

@@BeavBrodie1 thank you for taking the time to answer. I got 168k. Have changed lots of things after sitting for 11 years. Have lift , inteior and little loose ends.

[@motogp2375]

Hey bro, what size tires you got on there coz im in need of new tires and starting to build my LC as well. Looking to go 33s as well. Also was there any rubbing without the lift with those BF Goodrich? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

[@BeavBrodie1]

BF Goodrich All-terrains 295/75/16 (33.4x11.6). No rubbing issues without the lift

[@motogp2375]

@@BeavBrodie1 btw after the foam cell install, did you still have any body roll with its being 2” lift? Thanks!

[@four_bet503]

You mentioned 2.5 inch lift but they only have 2, 4 and 6 inch lift available. Would really like to run this set up, little clarification would be awesome, thanks!

[@BeavBrodie1]

2'' lift. Hope this helps. GOOD LUCK!
