- I recently purchased 6 inch lift coils from Ironman 4x4 on their FALL25 sale as well as the other components necessary to lift the 80 series land cruiser an obnoxious and unnecessary 6 inches (7 in the front with coil spacers). In this video I go over how to install them, specifically if you don't have a lift
15:19 We’ve all done that, but you really got yourself good with that wrench. Awesome rig!
Seriously if you have questions ive had 6 fzj80s and figured out all the bugs. My kid drives it to college and back puts 80 miles on it a day. 6inch lift 38s 529s.added the lower 3 to 1 gear in the transfercase.
Nice! Thank you! I very well may ask for your help! Abs that sounds like a weapon!
Have you had to deal with slow windows in the cold temperatures? Any ways to fix this?
@@kylestevenson1778 yes mine are terribly slow. I don’t really care and assist them with my hands 🤣 there’s some write ups on mud about solutions i think
Just put this lift on my 80 a few weeks ago and drove 3600 miles on it from Missouri to Alaska. I noticed when putting mine in that the instructions for the radius arm drop brackets were wrong (at least for mine). I had to put the opposite ones in for both sides if that makes sense, they just wouldnt go in and line up on top for those attachment nuts on the top of the frame. I didn't know about the double cardan and boy that vibration was scary!
I’m glad you noticed that as well! I thought maybe my frame was bent and couldn’t get them oriented as they are in the instructions either! I ended up installing them the same way you did and haven’t had any problems. I ended up having to do dual cardan in the front and retube (lengthen) the rear. Maybe a video on it a couple weeks ago!
I'm doing an Old Man Emu 3 inch lift on my 96. I watched people messing with the correction casters and opted for those drop brackets instead. I just want to run 35" tires with breathing room.
Nice! Good call! I’m definitely impressed with the way the truck handles with them. Some people don’t like the way they look but I actually don’t mind them. And much like the delta panhard bracket is the better choice for correcting the rear angle, I think the drop brackets are for the front as well after 3-4 inches of lift
I didnt put extended control arms on the rear. Damaged my ABS wire in the process of the installation and ended up taking the whole module out along with the LSPV and re-lining everything to a non-ABS master cylinder.
Nice. Yeah that sounds like the way to go without having to deal with abs. I actually found mine helpful this last week wheeling on steep icy roads on the way to the trail though. Yeah you don’t HAVE to have adjustable control arms in the rear. I’m planning on running 40s so I needed to revenged the axle while I was under there. I did that in the part 2 of the install
Respect for owning up to your mistakes! Great progress atleast.
Hey thank you! I’ll openly admit I’m nothing close to an expert! 🤣 I enjoy learning though- I’ve learned so much from watching others on TH-cam and want to at least share as much of my experiences that could be relevant for anyone else!
Hey all you needed was bump stop extensions to keep from grinding arms and your diff is now wrong with the arm extesions
Yeah it’s definitely a little off I’m gonna end up going with the delta 6 inch arms eventually but it’ll work for the time being
Cuanto cuesta ese kit? Como se lo encuentra asi completo?
Como $2600 pero vas a necesitar driveshafts nuevos. Aqui esta el sitio de web:

Did you get brake hose extensions?
Haven’t gotten them installed yet
But yes i went with Ironman 4x4s steel braided lines
Are trying to get rid of your old 2" lift? I live pretty close to portland.
Dude!!! I actually just did! It was gone within 2 hours of posting it! Sorry man! Ironman has their sale going on though with 30% off it comes to $830 I think for the entire kit with new bushings. Add me on instagram @austin_st.onge so I can see some pics of your rig!
Thanks for the nice video. Very informative and fun to watch you struggle instead of me! I’m sure I’ll be there soon enough. Cheers!
You got it man! I’m the guy that makes an hour job take 3 hours so don’t be fooled by the power of editing! 🤣
Why 6”, what r u trying to put on ? 40”??
Yes sir🤠
Hi can you help me ship the 6 inch accessories to Kenya Via DHL?
Sorry I’m not the guy for that 😫
How does it ride in the freeway?
It drives surprisingly straight but I’m still going to be adding the delta vehicle systems rear panhard bracket and correcting my pinion angle with adjustable links. I’ll be doing videos on all of the above in the near future. Of course with a lift of this degree it doesn’t take turns at high speeds the same as stock but as long as you don’t drive like ken block it’s totally fine.
Great job!! will 40s clear with this lift or you will need more modifications?
I’m going to have to get a forklift to test the wheels individually but I’m anticipating maybe trimming back an inch or two on each wheel well
@@Austin_SaintOnge I see, looking forward to it. After doing all the modifications to fit 40s, would you recommend it over 37s? I know it looks pretty cool on 40s🤙
@@yasiraltameemi1427 100%. I would go straight to 40s and not buy 37s. I’m even thinking of going to 42’ iroks
@@Austin_SaintOnge I think I have to agree with you! you going to keep it street legal or make it a striat out wheeler?
@@yasiraltameemi1427 keeping it street legal for sure!
