Dobinson or OME in my 2013 DC Hilux

I have a 12000lb Iroman winch which is now 8 years old and still going strong. The cable is now a bit the worse for wear and I have just brought a replacement rope. Had an issue after 4 years but Ironman fixed under warranty even though their warranty is 3 years. When I brought it, it was a third of the price of a Warn and I figured if I had to replace it every 3 years I would still end up in front. Well, at 8 years I am miles in front and laughing. Also buying an Ironman it is not much extra to get a 12,000lb winch and I always say bigger is better. Ironman standby their products and are great to deal with. I dealt with their head office which is now in Dandenong in Vic.
My suspension is all Lovells and I am very happy with them also for what its worth.

Neither.
Winch = runva
Lift = ultimate suspension

Have a look on Newhilux about suspension options and reviews
A number of owners have not been happy with the OME kits on them. I found them too soft and boaty myself

X 3 for The Ultimate Suspension. Loved what they did for my Prado and going back to them for the BT50.

Cheers

Dobinson lift kit on my Isuzu. Can't recommend it. Harsh rear, front rebound damping way underdone. I'm in deep and meaningful discussion with the firm that fitted it. Dobinson has admitted that the rear spring is too stiff.

Lovell's?

Running them on our 79 Series (GVM Upgrade).

Dobinsons usually ask how much weight you carry in the vehicle and then make a suggestion on the 'stiffness' needed. If you overstate it you'll get a stiff rear end(haha). So talk to them about your real world requirements. They work well on the troopy front coils, rear leafs and a big bonus is that there made in Australia.

Cheers

Premier winch !!
And ultimate all the way
had OME really really great ride but having 3leaf springs fail in 2 or soo years.
and no offer to back the warranty...
or even want to look at my leafs and where theyre failing.

ultimate from now on
Very happy..
but service could be a little better.
not as woefull as arb when your in need of a replacement spring to get moving..
