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.
