Alot of guys are starting to use these. From what I hear they have been happy with them. I'm thinking of going with a set myself.
I love them. I have a 2 inch. back rides a pinch higher than the front though, so I would get a 20mm spacer for the front as well.
I have their 4" setup, but only for a week and not much driving done yet.
I'm still solving some issues, missing PanHard Rods and caster bushing details.
But from what I have noticed, I really like the way it feels, on road so far.
The stance is pretty much as stock, just a bit more in back but not enough for a stick bug look. (with the 4" kit)

Several folks here are running them, haven't heard anything negative.
I have the 2 inch lift and have nothing but praise for it. I highly recommend it
I have the 4" springs and shocks. Really good stuff. Replaced my OME J springs/shocks. Much nicer in all respects.

OME J springs next to 4" Iron Man springs. Anything but identical.

I contact ARB/OME about who made their coils .. and here the answer ..
"Our springs are not made by Dobinson. Dobinson is definitely a competitor and they do not make our springs. What is the website? Perhaps we can put pressure on them in Australia to stop lying.
You can tell your customer it is not true."

I just put in the 2" with 20mm spacers in front, I haven't driven enough to give feedback, and I created an abs issue because of it. Eli at camel has been good so far for support and ordering!

Eli at Camel is a quality guy that stands behind his product and supports the cruiser community. If your in the market I suggest you pick up the phone and give him a ring.
I dont think your ABS issue is because of your lift
Unless you screwed up one of the ABS Sensor wires during install
I would check the wires

My 2" kit is almost a year old now. No complaints, I like it a lot. Little rust on the shocks but other than that no worse for the wear. My OME shocks rusted on the 40 too so MEH.
cheers from slovakia!
i have recently upgraded my older ome to ironman 4" and have just returned from an expedition in Montenegro (apx. 2k miles through an ocean of mountains) and can write poems about how big of a difference it is.
the ironman suspension is superior, I love the sound of it, the feel of it both in impossible terrain as well as on tarmac.
the rear axle is a bit higher, the front needs a little lift (can be adjusted by loading weight to the back / what of coarse is an expected thing in case of an expedition ride).
be carefull druing mounting, it is an australian suspension, they have a right hand drive, therefore both shocks and coils on the right side are a little bit higher than on the left side (the driver is always expected to sit on the right) and it may be a good idea to crosschange on right coil&spring from right to left to even this small difference.
best.

Interesting. Eli is Israeli. IronMan is an Australian company.
I've also heard the same statement made.
