Ironman used my ZR as a project car to design the springs for the 150. When they returned the car they had put a longer rear link on it because of the change in angle. I am not positive, but I thought they said they used the rear link from an 80 series cruiser. I would definitely be asking whether you need a longer rear link.
What rating of shock did all you guys get? The shorty is a bit lighter than the LWB but after they installed the suspension I thought it was way way to hard. They then swapped the shocks for their "luxury" ride shocks and it was much better. I have had the ironman suspension on for 60,000km now and it has been fantastic, it is still a little hard for the lighter SWB but I will put up with them for the extra clearance and handling and price. I was able to get the Ironman suspension and bulbar all installed for the the same price as just an ARB front bar.
Guys with the foam shocks, just be careful if you are doing any outback trips i.e.. Simpson Desert. I had Ironman foam shocks on the last 4WD and while they are good, if you overheat them (which I did with a fully loaded vehicle) then they do not recover like oil shocks do and you have to throw them out and start again. For that reason I went with oil shocks this time.
