Any difference in ironman vs OME torsion bars?

[bgolf247]

With the metaltech sale, the iron man and OME torsion bars are about the same price. Any reason to go with one over the other? Do they have markedly different performance? Of course hight is adjustable, but how about stiffness?

no
i think all aftermarket T Bars for the Cruiser (except those for AHC) are the same

This thread (T bars: OME vs. Ironman vs. ???) gives some info, thought it's seven years old so things may have changed.

I can't imagine you're going to notice a huge difference between [aftermarket] torsion bars, especially not once you start adding weight. But I've also not much experience yet.

I was also up in the air, because of the sale. I might pull the trigger on the IronMan but still can't decide (I also don't REALLY need them at the moment, so I'm only buying them to buy them because of the sale (ugh)).

Worst case, call up ARB/OME and Iron Man to get some specs, or just give a call to MetalTech and Cruiser Outfitters as they're both more than knowledgeable.

I am in the same boat of not needing them right now, but I am trying to finish up my suspension overhaul and this is one of few remaining pieces.

I thought they were all the same, but they're not.
According to @TRAIL TAILOR
"T-BARs smallest to largest. Not to mention materials, country of origin and final quality control make each very different.

LX AHC stock - 25.5mm
OEM stock - 28.87mm
OME - 30.5mm
Sway Away - 31mm
Tough Dog - 32mm
Ironman- 32mm
TJM - 32mm"
