My guy is sleeping while I'm shopping for this lift🤣 I love our Tundra❤️ and cannot wait for this to be installed. I'm sending him this video. Thank you for this great installation guide. I'm pretty sure I could do this after the video.
@@Ironman4x4America I would have dozens of questions LOL. My guy, he will do just fine, it's what he's good at. He did love some of the tricks you showed in the video.
I can't believe this video doesn't have more likes. Awesome video, you went over specific little things that I had to watch like 15 different videos for. Planning to buy the same suspension for my 07 tundra. Much appreciated 🙏
Perfect video. Thanks! Every wheeler needs to watch these very informative videos. Ive always worked on my own rides and this is the kind of video i look for to gain more knowledge not just bs.
I completed this setup on my 12’ tundra. Video was spot on thanks for the tutorial. They don’t show putting in the rear leaf packs for a reason those weren’t absolute pain in the ass. Overall very pleased with the set up
Awesome suspension just put it on my tundra, use to have rough country 4in spacer lift and air bags in the rear(used truck) ride quality was very poor. Rear end bounce was bad even with multiple PSI changes in air bags. Changed out the lift with the pro foam stage 2 system ride is so much better, on road you feel the bumps like normal but not something that jolts you. Off road it works great so smooth, took it to the beach and hit some deep ruts at speed and just soaked them up. Great product, great value highly recommend. Customer support is some of the best I've ever dealt with chat is a real person that will give you a real number to talk to them and actually help not just reading a script.
I just installed both rear. Took me 4 hours to do rear driver side, then since I got the hang of it. It took me 1 hour to do the rear passenger side. It's 5:20pm now. I'll do the front tomorrow.
you can un bolt the brake like on the frame rail and tighten the control arm nut with a proper torque wrench. this nut is common to back off and wreck havoc like bad game of domino. when that nut comes off the upper a arm bolt walks forward and things start breaking
@Ironman4x4America good video but i just want to know how the quality ride in the road? At least once a year we go for camping and off reading, more on the road side.. thanks I do have tundra 21’ 4wd
Ride quality is very subjective and is greatly affected by weight. If you have the appropriate amount of weight on the truck for the type of springs you have in your front and rear suspension then the ride quality will be fantastic. But if you are oversprung or undersprung then the ride quality will be compromised. Also be sure to think of your tires as part of your suspension recipe keeping tire types, load range ratings, and tire pressures in mind. For more info be sure to contact our customer service team and they can help guide you with planning a suspension setup.
I have a foam cell pro on my Land Cruiser - about to buy a 2015 Tundra and I'm wondering how this would compare to the TRD Pro ride. I've heard the ride it pretty plush, I presume due to the piggy back system. I know there are multiple factors governing ride quality.
Planning on installing my coil over in the next month, thanks for this!! I haven’t ever touched my UCA, why would I need to loosen the bolt? Does it allow to travel up more? Thanks ahead of time. New to this.
I understand now. It’s all about pre loading the bushing. With the UCA starting point lower now because of the lift, the nut and bolt need to be tighten at the new height of the truck so that the preload of the bushing is correct for the new height. Right?
Just got my Stage 2 Pro kit and looking forward to installing it! This will help for sure! I am curious though, do you find with the carrier spacer that you don't have a need for a diff drop kit? Also what are the specs on those wheels, they look great!
So what was the total lift on this truck ? Also if my tacoma has a 3” lift should i have only 1 carrier bearing spacer ? I noticed you installed 2 on this tundra .
Our Tundra lift in this video gives you roughly a 3.5" lift. Because of this, the Tundra requires more spacers on the carrier bearing compared to the Tacoma.
How much lift is on this kit i will be doing a 3/1.5 lift on my tundra soon with 2.5 king coilovers and rear shocks I installed some extended bump stops and the brake line/ABS relocation kit
I’m a bit confused about his jack placement though. He mentioned it but didn’t really show everything. In the rear, his only jack stands are on the axle, correct? What about the front? And is the bottle jack just holding the position or does he use that to lift/lower any?
I know it's a year later, but in case anyone else has this same question: I believe he used 6 total jack stands. Initially, he jacked up the rear via the axle to get to the U bolts and he supports the pinion angle. At 10:09, he jacks the frame up off of the axle to pull off the leaf spring, and presumably uses two more jack stands under the rear of the frame. Add in the jack stands under the front of the vehicle and voila, 6x jack stands.
Ironman 4x4's components are robust and built bigger / stronger / tuffer'r than OEM and other aftermarket offerings, and ours our greasable. You can give it a try but mostly our dimensions are larger. Measure first, measure first again, and then make sure to measure...
UCA's will certainly help with your caster alignment and tire clearance. Check out our stage 2 kit which includes our Pro Forge UCA's. ironman4x4america.com/foam-cell-pro-3-5-suspension-kit-fits-a-toyota-tundra-2007-stage-2/
On the Tundra it doesn't matter which way our leaf pack goes in. Make sure to install the driveline carrier bearing spacer kit. If you need additional help correcting the pinion angle we offer wedges for the leafs in several degree increments.
@@Ironman4x4America I put them in the same way originally and the passenger tire was sitting about an inch further back. I flipped the leaf around and it seemed to mostly correct it . Military wrap goes to the front correct?
So any idea why originally the thrust angle was so far off ? I took it to get aligned originally with both leafs facing the same way and the thrust angle was .69 . Flipped passenger leaf around to where it's 180 out from the driver and the thrust angle was .10 I believe

Thank you for your business! Enjoy!
How did you ended up putting it in?
I coulda used this video over a year ago! Nice work Chris!
So much value about the 4WD suspension, thank you

Thank you for the kind comments and for your business.
I love watching this guy. Does a great job explaining everything.
Note **** you should add this video to the Ironman 4x4 Tundra installation, there are no details about installation there
I just installed both rear. Took me 4 hours to do rear driver side, then since I got the hang of it. It took me 1 hour to do the rear passenger side. It's 5:20pm now. I'll do the front tomorrow.
Awesome, enjoy!
on some applications you can install a 90 degree zerk fitting. great video very informative.
Great tutorial just installed stage 2 went silky smooth thank you
Enjoy!
This guy is awesome. Just ordered a stage 2 for my tundra. Thanks for the install guide.
Thank you!
Thank you for the videos. These are truly helpful. I have 295/70R18 tires with the 3.5inch FCP, what alignment specs do you recommend?
- Thanks
Give our customer service team a call, they'd be happy to discuss alignment specs for your truck. 855-476-5714

Loosening the UCA bolt just makes it easier to rotate the UCA up out of the way during the coil-over install. Enjoy!
When is this gonna be available for the FJ?
Just got my Stage 2 Pro kit and looking forward to installing it! This will help for sure!
I am curious though, do you find with the carrier spacer that you don't have a need for a diff drop kit?
Also what are the specs on those wheels, they look great!
I was wondering the same thing. I want to get the stage two kit with the new UCA's
So what was the total lift on this truck ? Also if my tacoma has a 3” lift should i have only 1 carrier bearing spacer ? I noticed you installed 2 on this tundra .
Our Tundra lift in this video gives you roughly a 3.5" lift. Because of this, the Tundra requires more spacers on the carrier bearing compared to the Tacoma.
Would I lose any towing capacity with this set up?
How much lift is on this kit i will be doing a 3/1.5 lift on my tundra soon with 2.5 king coilovers and rear shocks I installed some extended bump stops and the brake line/ABS relocation kit
Our Foam Cell Pro lift gives you 3.5 inches on the Tundra. The FCP shocks and coil overs are nearly a 3.0 in diameter.
What kit did you install?
Link in the description
I’m a bit confused about his jack placement though. He mentioned it but didn’t really show everything. In the rear, his only jack stands are on the axle, correct? What about the front? And is the bottle jack just holding the position or does he use that to lift/lower any?

Is this compatible with the tundra trd sport?
Yes it is. Feel free to reach out to our customer service team if you have any product questions. 855-476-5714
So your front shocks doesn't have a dust boot like the rear shocks?
What is the offset on your wheels?
Why isn’t the foam cell pro complete lift offered for the tundra anymore? I only see the regular foam cell (white shocks) kit.
They had qc issues and pulled everything to make it right.
Will the leaf springs work with aftermarket shackles? How much lift do you reckon the shackles give?
Ironman 4x4's components are robust and built bigger / stronger / tuffer'r than OEM and other aftermarket offerings, and ours our greasable. You can give it a try but mostly our dimensions are larger. Measure first, measure first again, and then make sure to measure...
As per Ironman instructions it is not recommended to grease the outer diameter of the leaf spring bushes... Only on the inside and the sides.... 🙄🤔
How long did it take to install everything?
can i put in a 07 5.7l 2wd tho
So, this is a stage 1? No need for the UCA?
UCA's will certainly help with your caster alignment and tire clearance. Check out our stage 2 kit which includes our Pro Forge UCA's. ironman4x4america.com/foam-cell-pro-3-5-suspension-kit-fits-a-toyota-tundra-2007-stage-2/
How much lift did you guys do on this tundra
Our Foam Cell Pro suspension kit provides 3.5" of lift.
Is there a specific way the leaf springs go in ? I'm having a time getting my thrust angle correct .
On the Tundra it doesn't matter which way our leaf pack goes in. Make sure to install the driveline carrier bearing spacer kit. If you need additional help correcting the pinion angle we offer wedges for the leafs in several degree increments.
@@Ironman4x4America I put them in the same way originally and the passenger tire was sitting about an inch further back. I flipped the leaf around and it seemed to mostly correct it . Military wrap goes to the front correct?
It's not the pinion angle I'm having issues with . It's the thrust angle
@@outdoorbluecollarlife Yes Military wrap is supposed to go to the front. Our Tundra leafs have the wrap on both ends.
So any idea why originally the thrust angle was so far off ? I took it to get aligned originally with both leafs facing the same way and the thrust angle was .69 . Flipped passenger leaf around to where it's 180 out from the driver and the thrust angle was .10 I believe
