Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just letting everyone know about this so called "Ironman Heavy Duty" suspension packages that are available. I recently fitted a heavy duty kit to my GQ coil cab ute in Febuary this year. So far I've had to replace the front shocks within 10 000km of bitumen driving, car was bouncing all over the road. Inspection of shocks revealed chewed out bushes both top and bottom. These were replaced under warranty with two new shocks and assurance from the salesman that he'd never seen a problem with Ironman before. The new front set and rears from the first set fitted have now lasted a whole 3000km. Inspections have revealed bushes chewed out. Dropping bottom mounts have revealed all four shocks either seized or have no resistance. Have been offered Ironman replacement warranty again, refused offer, offered Monroe shocks for no extra charge, and am now negotiaiting with suspension fitter for refund of money, so I can buy some shocks for Australian conditions; OME or TJM XGS's. Salesman is also now admitting there may be a problem with this product. There is a lesson to be learnt, sometimes quality may come at a price, but it is definately for a reason.

Had problems with the ironman struts on the vitara too. Not something I'd be recommending to anyone.

Ironman have good steering Dampers.

Dobinsons shocks are $95 each. Delivered to your door. Quality for a good price.

ditto my iron man shocks bushes slogged out

hey guys, a mate of mine had them on his GQ and he said they all failed very quickly. Ironman said it was very unusual and they got replaced and they failed!! Saying that my sisterinlaws hubby runs them on a 6x6 GQ ute and has no probs BUIT they do sell them at their bussiness. just my 2c worth

You can get BlueMax (formerly CrossCountry) at 4x4 parts australia for a really good price, fitting not included.
Eg. 2" on my luxy full kit including everything; elswhere $1500, at 4x4 PA $950 Pretty damn good in my opinion. I know they are not the best but my mate had them on his lux and they were great.
my 2c too
