Just got my MQ back with the Ironman lift kit done by their local dealer (same 0-300 7 leaf rear) with foam cells and the B series front coils and front (non comfort level shocks) and yes 50mm higher at the back and if anything equal or even less than the stock height at front (looks like 1970's jacked up arse end / not a good look and very poor upfront clearance) even the dealer was surprised by the front to rear massive variance (said he will speak to Ironman on it and get back to me) he did and to fair i accept that some difference due to choosing permanent load rear suspension, but he even admitted that 5% was the max legal variance, and this well exceeds that, (front-back overall height variation allowable).
Maybe front packers the answer and the angles are crazy on the latter part of my two piece tail shaft assembly into the rear diff, vibrations/shudder however surprisingly little to speak of (Ironman did fit the shaft bearing adjustment kit as standard in the install, so this may be helping the shudder effect somewhat)
23000 klms on the bus at time of upgrade
Will keep informed of what Ironman are going to do to rectify the Wedge effect that I have drive about for now.
Local Ironman dealer whom fitted kit been good about it so far, yes he believes some front height loss due to the severe back end rise thus angle pivot, though I said earlier he was surprise by the total loss of any increase at the front of the bus.
(carry around 152kgs of tools in the back in fixed box's with recovery gear and aux battery at all times so even this didn't prevent overly massive back uplift in the back end either)
Live life now, Tomorrow might not get here
