    Looking for advice/recommendations.

    I have a 2018 TRD ORP W/KDSS and installed the Ironman4x4 Foam Cell Pro stage 2 with performance load springs and prebuilt coilovers.
    The measurements from center hub to fender are as follows:
    Both front are 21.75”
    Both rear are 24”

    After corresponding with Ironman USA:
    "Measure all four corners of your vehicle from the center of the wheel hub straight up to the fender. Decide how much you want to raise the front and divide by 2"

    To get the front “level” I would need to adjust the preload of the coil overs by 1.125...?IMG_7934.HEIC.jpg

    Ultimately looking to put 255/80/17's on it.
    TIA

    Yes raise the front threads by an inch and you should be level.

    When you say "level" do you mean you want zero rake from front to back? If you do that and add any weight in the back it will cause the back to sag a bit and have a negative rake.

    I am interested in seeing what it looks like when you are done making the adjustments. I have my ironman foam cell pro stage 3 coming next month.

    Ill post some pics once I'm done, right now the plan is to do it on Saturday. Probably gonna add 1/2" preload to get another 1" in the front.

    Good compromise. If you're 1/2 - 3/4 down in the front the truck will still look level, but you'll not go negative too quickly when you load up the back.

    Unfortunately I was not able to get it done this weekend... The spanner wrenches I ordered didn't work with the Ironman 4x4 coil overs.

    Wondering if you ever adjusted? I have the same set up and was told I needed to remove the struts to adjust and have no desire to do so for a small adjustment. I was hoping it can be adjusted on the vehicle.

    Was waiting for Ironman to get their wrench back in stock (which I just checked and it is)
    Didn’t want to spend $79 on a coil over tool but I guess I’m kinda stuck.
    My plan was to adjust in place though...
