Ironman suspension....

Looking at putting a 3in kit on the 80, as I can get a discount price on them! ;)
Who has them, what are they like, are you happy with them, or should I buy something else.

The vehicle currently has a sagged suspention lift.
I im hoping to have 265s or 285s as my runabouts, plus 315s as my play size tyres on a new Ironman 3in lift.

The vehicle currently has a steel winch bar, possible winch added later, and a spare wheel carrier over the rear bumper added later as well.
What level of suspention is recommended for this.
I was thinking medium for the front and heavy for the rear .
The back will be almost empty for most of the times etc for trips 2-3 times a month for a trip away.

Cheers,
Phil

Maybe not the shocks but grab a steering damper off them if the price is right.

If it really is a 3" lift other stuff you will need is longer shocks, sway bar extension brackets front and rear and longer brake lines front and rear.

I run 3" + 200kg rear coils and foam shocks from ironman.
they work well and articulate too.
Not too harsh unloaded at all and very comfortable when loaded.

cheers

I woul go with HD all around ... ( OME 850 and 863 J model 220 - 250 lb/in spring rate ) with L shocks ..

You can go with more heavy stuff with the comp series 300 - 280 lb/in are not too heavy anycase.
