I have used their foam filled shocks for 3 plus years now.

They are a good product IMO.

Cheers

Yeah I put a set of foam ones on about 5000 klm ago, I'm really happy with them better than the OME's I had before...great improvement on and off road..

Had Ironman shocks 3 years old when I bought my 75. swapped to Tough Dogs. 2' set Tough Dogs travel more than the Ironman and 12 months later I would not go back.

Got any proof that they are lower quality Munroe?

Would be interested to know where they source shocks from.

There is a mountain of misinformation out there...

What about some Dobinsons shocks, they are pretty cheap but reasonable quality.

We've only had to replace 2 shocks in the 2 1/2+ years we've been selling them.

You can get good and bad reports on any shock on the market.
My OME shocks leaked within 6 months, but we did do some pretty heavy corrugations in our 6 week/12,000Km trip. Not sure if any other shock would have faired better.

Bought my spring lift from them years ago and that is what the sales rep said at that time. Their range of shocks hasn't changed and i doubt whether the supplier or price point from that supplier has either.
