Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Im looking to replace the tired suspension on my rn105 dual cab 22r. Got prices from TJM (1670 fitted) and ARB (2400 fitted) but have seen the ironman suspension advertised around for 895 + fitting.
Seems too good to be true!
All im after is 2" lift (old suspension is 2" lift) leafs, shocks. greasable shackles, poly bushes, u bolts and steering dampener.
Does anyone here run ironman on there rigs?
What do you think?
Any good and is it worth the coin or should i just go for the name brand stuff?

Cheers SASS

Ps. Any one know where i can get prices on TOUGH DOG stuff in brisbane.

try ludcris, im preety sure he was talking to someone about tough dog. failing that fourbys at marooka priced me on it. it the bloke wasnt so cocky about being the "fourby god" he might have made a sale.

I have been running it their springs, shocks and greasable shackles for 6 months now without any problems. What I will do different next time is change the shock travel from what I got (run out of travel around 1 1/3" before the springs) and get the military wrap on the rear leafs (but I must admit they did tell me the setup was medium duty). I ordered from the Melbourne store at 10 am and the gear arrived the next day at my door in outer Sydney. shocks came from Brisbane wearhouse and the rest of the gear came from Melbourne - all arrived at the same time. I received the wrong rear shocks (for a later model) and gave them a call at around 3:30 PM. The correct shocks arrived the next day, wish everyone else could provide a turnaround like that

Had it bought new rear leaves lasted 3 weeks before dieing got replaced went through 6 different shocks all leaked went to ranchos never had a problem would never by this stuff again lots of hassles getting warrenty

ran it in my old mq no dramas at all

had em and they were as stiff as railway tracks and just shite, like said the shockys just pist out and the leaves only worked good once swappin a few with customs

Whats better?
Gas charged or foam cell Shocks?
Whats the difference?

Go with foam cell, more durable and don't fade as fast.

Only one word from me to describe Ironman suspension.








CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had their kit in my Vitara, way too stiff. When i spoke with them they said it is an "offroad" kit designed to handle heavy loads. Anyway i pulled it out gave it away and installed a calmini kit. SWEET

What about Rockcrawler stuff, any one use that?

Considering a Calmini kit for my Rodeo but have not quite had the guts to go with the unseen. How have you found them? Did you get the kit from $wdUSA, if so how did you find their service??

I have the option of going with the standard 50mm kit that everyone offers, including Ironman ( Interesting feedback as I was also looking at their stuff based on price), or going with the only 3" upgrade on earth advertised for the Isuzu being the Calmini gear.

Dollars are tight so I am trying to get the right info before passing out the cash.

Well i have a calmini 5" s/r kit in my zook and its FARKN SHIT was so bad i almost sold my zook but no one would buy it after driving it so i guess im stuck with it.

my brother works at Repco where they supply iron man, I installed a full set to my lux, within six months i had destroyed the lot. replaced them with some carrols and havn't had a problem. Tumut Toyota supply a carrols kit including spings, shocks, U-bolts and shackles for about $1300, far better quality than the iron man.
