Suspension advice

[mordell]

Hey all,
My AHC is done. I'm looking into getting the following lift kit for my AHC LX470 all Ironman:

Nitro Gas Shocks X4
Torsion Bar X2
Rear Coil Springs "Performance" 2" lift X2

I'm looking to get a ride quality that is not rough. The OME sports I've heard are very firm and you can feel bumps and expansion joints in your stomach so I looked into the Ironman Pro Foams and decided on those. Unfortunately they're not going to be available for another 1.5-2 months.

Are they worth the wait and price difference ($400)? Also if anyone has this setup or similar how does it ride compared to stock?

I can't speak for the IronMan Nitros BUT Imwill tell you that the Pro Foam's are great! Not often that can lift a vehicle and it actually rides better! I did the full IronMan kit purchased from MetalTech and have absolutely no regrets.

I wish I had gotten to them fast enough! All I hear is good things about the pro foams. Ironman America is clean out and everyone that sells them drop ships them from Ironman America. They won't have them for a while and the cost is about $100 more a shock

Another option to Ironman if you can't find what you want is Tough Dog. You may reach out to Jason at Trail Tailor who imports TougDog, which is another reputable and proven Aussie brand. He's got a 100 set up with TD suspension so he can provide you with verified useful answers.
