Iron Man suspension

I know......before I get told, Ive tried doing a search on Iron man suspension and nothings coming up unless Im doing smomething wrong.

I know the search function here stinks, but if you cant get a hit with ironman, pack your computer up in the box, and take it back to the shop....

Duh....helps if you dont put a space in between ironman.....sorted!

Perhaps Truckster is that Iron Man.......... Ironman brand is different :D

I also had a problem & found their after sales service to be second to none!

bring the flame suit to the Stamford :P

will try and get ther - doubtful though as we have a big deal closing on 21 Dec.

What dates the Stamford?

tis in the gathering thingy......

Moggy, thats the next day, so your free :p

Gday Wayne, what was the prob with iron man?

just found the ride was sloppy and the articulation was not brilliant, i think they are quite stiff! Also the shocks we average on the corrugations. the set up i have, i love it, and would recommend to anyone!

did you contact Ironman about your suspension? What was their reaction?

i did tell them it was not what i was looking for. the suspesion is fine, there was no manufacturing faults, i just think that i found a much better product in the setup i have now. i would say they are more of a light duty steup, and just wasn't for me, i do very very little on-road driving, and my supspension cops it hard with the state of the gravel and rock roads here in the pilbara. In saying this, the setup that they offer may be what you are looking for and may suit the type of driving that you plan to do. hope this healps mate. there are so many product on the market and i know how hard it was to make the decision, i guess i was lucky to find one that suited what i wanted 2nd time round!!

so you didnt contact them after you set it up and found it incorrect?

Where in my replies did i mention the set up was "incorrect????" I simply said i felt it couldnt handle my recreational activities so i replaced it with a set up that could!!

"just found the ride was sloppy and the articulation was not brilliant"
would suggest incorrect items for the job, basics...

"I simply said i felt it couldnt handle my recreational activities"
so that would mean its not upto it - or the incorrect suspension.

Ahhh GG!!! Moggs won't be happy with you..^_^..

heheheh! I was waiting for you to find this thread :-)

Craig,

As I understand it there was issues with the quality of Ironman gear a while back. They acknowledged this and spent considerable money, time and effort to re-design their gear and change manufacturers. I think you will find that their gear is now of good quality. Unfortunately (and in many respects understandably) their reputation will continue to suffer from peoples earlier experiences.

In the end you have to weigh up the $$ v's Name v's quality. I found found Ironman gear to be great. I have no problem stating this, and also have no issue with people who disagree!

For the record though, I had an ARB strut fail on a Pathfinder - do i bucket their gear now?? No, but it did make me look at alternatives with the Patrol. Would I buy ARB again, yes, if they were competitive on price.

Certainly not here to condem or justify Moggs suspension choice (good or bad) but would be remiss of me not to mention the experiences in our club so that ingo can make an imformed decission based not just on the salesmans promises & purchase price.
Cheers Craig.......

yep, agree Craig.

love my Koni's.







With suspension you have to look beyond purchase price, for reliability and quality.
The most important thing is Matched shocks and springs for your cars weight, also your use, budget etc.

Fully setup your rig, weigh it then give that info to the store selling your suspension. they will work out what rate springs and shocks will suit your application. No use buying it now, and then fitting a winch and bar, dual batteries, etc etc in 4mths time, or you will have to buy again.

I know the dude at Ironman, and he bet his hair on his gear being reliable, and good quality.. I'd give their gear a go without hesitation as I trust his word.

I got the Konis with a package deal with some other gear I needed from bloke bought my GQ.

FWIW, I've run with different lifts, from stock, to 7inch lift and back to 4inch.
Konis (GQ and GU)
TJM Series 2000
Ranchos S H I T
and OME LTR's.

the GU has 3inch and is perfect.

Bruce, it lookss like it must have taken a few minutes for the wheel flexibility and articulation to reach the ground there mate. Must say the GU looks great though. Got a bit of Ironman stuff here and is reliable.

jealousy is a curse... :P

that is crap articulation - you should have put Ironman gear on to give it some balls! ;-) How come your rear bumper hasn't been ripped off yet?? Are you not trying???

Cause I can drive :P

LOL! No you can't. Look at that great big hole you put the drivers side rear wheel in. Could have driven around it :-)

not when its right across the track, and if i did, Willem wouldnt have had an opportunity to get some photos of me :P
