Looking for real world experience/opinions on the Ironman HD 1.5" lift on a 3.7 gasser KJ
is this too stiff of a ride? how does it feel compared to stock (well to stock worn out springs as any of us would have.)

any place to get it besides jeepin by al?

jeepinbyal is the only US distributer for KJs/KKs for the Ironman
Ride is 100s of times better than stock worn out suspension
Too hard ? Firmer feel but not a hard ride

I am running Ironman shocks and springs up front and I love the ride.. The rear, I have Billstein shocks/JBA springs. I plan to upgrade to something better for shocks here shortly though(possibly the ironman long travels). but for the front, With the Ironman set up the ride quality compared to factory is night and day. It's amazing how different it is..

I'm running ironman and bilstein. Love the ride! Was kinda hard at first but it broke in to perfect. Even my mother likes it! (She's picky)

I've got Ironman springs and shocks front and rear. It's a firm ride, but not harsh at all. My mom has physical issues, and she doesn't have a problem riding in my Jeep.

do you guys think i need the teraflex bumpstops in the front? i may add a 1/4" top plate to the lift if i can get one made at work, and an extra iso in the rear

thanks

In my opinion, yes. Get the Terraflex bumpstops. All it takes is one good set of railroad tracks or some extended articulation and you've blown a shock.

Bumpstops are cheap insurance in my book.

is the HD spring upgrade option just for the front coils, or does it upgrade the rear too?
