I have Ironman Suspension, had a minor problem a few months after it was fitted & the problem was fixed immediately.
Couldn't be happier with their after sales service!

I replaced the Troopys Koni's all round with Ironman dual action Foam Cells and they are excellent.

I told them so and they asked me to trial some new hybrid ones for them, bearing in mind that they were not designed to be going on a 3.5t machine that gets a flogging off road.

They have done 10,000kms so far and withstood everything I have thrown at the Troopy which incidently broke door latches, fractured a weld on the 200l water tank that hangs between the rears shocks, included Googs Track and some of the worst corrugations that I have ever endured and all of these Kms were whilst towing a CT.

They were on there during this years Outback Challenge and had a great soaking in the Menindee/Darling river mud which chewed the chrome off of every fitting it got on plus a heap of metal and they seem to have withstood thatno problems also.

I will have them removed next week (Trial ones) and the Foam cells replaced, so it will be interesting to see how they stood up internally.

These trial ones were really not suited for the Troopy application but were trialled to see if I could bust them and the answer is NO.

So that may give you some confidence in that side of Ironman suspension matters.

Others on the forum from time to time have made positive comments on all things Ironman Suspension and their follow up service.

Lucy,

Any idea how Ironman rates against OME?

My Troopy is due for a suspension upgrade very shortly and was leaning toward
OME until I read your comments.

Cheers

No, I couldn't pass comment on that comparrison as I have never had OME products in the Troopy.

After ripping out the Original setup. I replaced it with KINGS Mining Pack springs and Koni shocks.

A long time later I changed the single action Koni's for the Dual action Ironman Foamcells and the rest is as I have described above.

A search of the archives might turn up some comment on what you are seeking.
