Suspension Kits
All Ironman springs are designed to provide vehicle lift over standard. For Leaf Springs the general expectation is 50mm and for Coil Springs expect 40mm. IFS or IRS (Independent Suspension) equipped vehicles generally lift around 35mm.The lift heights quoted are a general figure only, based upon new vehicle ride heights and standard weight setup. The position and amount of added weight can affect the outcome.
The correct selection of a suspension kit is vital to a successful outcome. Each vehicle should be treated as an individual case, as many variables can affect the final result. When assessing a vehicle and choosing a kit, the following must be noted:
Engine type, Petrol, Diesel, Turbo Diesel? Perhaps an engine conversion which is heavier than the original?
Added accessories such as bull bar, winch, second battery, extra spare wheel, drawer system, roof rack, steel tray, sub tanks etc. can all alter the outcome.
Take note the location of these accessories as the re-location can also disrupt the weight balance.
Carefully note the production date and series of the vehicle as many parts may differ from model to model.
Take note of the customer's actual request and learn how and where the vehicle will be driven.
As no two vehicles are alike, customizing a suspension kit is recommended and can be discussed with the Ironman team. For example:
A listed suspension kit, eg. TOY010BKG2 will have B springs supplied front and rear by default. This may not be suitable for a vehicle that carries heavy load in the rear only. In this case we would supply C rear springs but front will remain the B. Kit customisation is relevant when selecting springs and shock absorbers only. This service is only available upon request.
