Well, so we had an ironman 2" constant load lift kit installed 2 years back, and it's been great. The rear has always been a lot higher than the front, but we thought that was just because of the constant load leafs.
Had a look under the front the other day, and I swear the CV's were angled downwards, that is pointing down from the wheels to the engine. I didn't think springs would sag this much....
We've bent and snapped the mounts for the rebound clips a few times now, no idea why. I think it's from flexing and hitting the frame, hence the marks on the frame rail.
Heres the right one which sheared off it's mount.
Bent one
And now this, coming back home from a big trip. Hit a speed bump 2 minutes from home and BANG from the front corner of the car.
Arrive home and check out the front right spring. Clean snap.
Lets see what happens with ironman now. I have a feeling that the wrong springs were installed because we have an STX 550 which requires heavier load rates springs because of the heavier engine.
