All the bits fell through on the hilux convertion suspention on my rocky :agrue: so im after a few cheap :oops: options

1. Anyone had anything to do with iornman suspention ?

2. would it be better to reset my springs 2 inch add an extra leaf and get 2inch extended shackles.

Or reset springs, take out the overrider spring and add an extra 1 or 2 leaves or will this SAg to quick?

Or should i combine the above

I went 4wd on the weekend with a mate with his lowlux he has suspention lift 33 bfg,
he went over a few prety big rocks, but got out to guide me through a couple of times :oops:
the ol girl made it ok but needed a good guide

thought that might help explane in what im after
but thats only sometimes mainly a to work car.

doese anyone have any good cheap not to insursnce unfreindly options?

help is needed :oops:

thanks lowrider

I fitted Ironman rear springs with a 2" lift to Roza. Cost was about $400 with new u bolts and poly bushs. Then wound the fronts up about 45mm and fitted Rancho shocks all round, left about a little fingers worth of distance between the front bump stop to give a little down movement in the suspension.

If I was doing it again I would do the same but wouldn't use Rancho shocks, too hard evan on the lowest setting. My personal opinion is the Iranman rear springs were the best mod I did and I will be fitting a set of their springs to my ( not yet named ) Surf soon.

Low, I wouldnt touch Ironman again. I have them itted to my Rocky, front and rear. They sagged not long after getting them. I had them reset, higher on the drivers side to compensate for the extra weight, and they still sagged. Have a look at Dobinsons. I know they make suspensions for Rockys too.
