G'day,
We've had a 50mm lift on a Patrol Wagon for two years now, and have been very happy with the performance. We had firmer than standard Nissan coils fitted and foam cell shocks. Approximately half our driving would be on (good quality) dirt roads the remainder on bitumen. We went firmer as have bullbar, roof rack etc, 4 kids and do a bit of towing the camper away on holidays.
All happy customers here, I'd have Ironman fitted to my next vehicle (but I admit I haven't tried all the other brands either.)
Cheers, Corrugate

Stuart,
Have had an Ironman kit (struts, front and rear shocks, front and rear "medium setting" springs) on our dual cab Hilux for two years. Its done a lot of work fully loaded, around central Australia, the Tanami and the Kimberly. We are very happy with the performance and handling, with no spring sag and shockers still working fine. I don't know that I would want to go any firmer than the "medium setting" as the ride and handling is quite tight enough even when we have a full load of diesel, water, recovery gear, spare wheels etc.
Cheers Peter

G'day,
I installed Ironman 2" heavy duty
suspension on my '98 100 series early last year and must say it is excellent. Loaded it holds beautifully - boats or caravans it is brilliant. Without load it is obviously a little rough but nothing to be upset about. For a bigger car on poor roads it handles quite
well.
I actually bought the kit from a mob in
Melbourne - they were the cheapest I could find delivered to my door in Mackay (at the time). Foam cell shockers, 4 coils, bushes etc. Lowered it down from 5" lift that it had when I bought it...
Toyots r us - Mark - 03 9314 1622
Was under $1k delivered.
Also, I know a few people that have the Ironman susp fitted to other makes and they all have only positive things to say.
If you go this way, you will not be disappointed.
Cheers
