What is a good 2 inch (heavy)front spring to match the Ironman rear? (1 Viewer)

[Zack1978]

Hi everyone,
A while back I purchased the rear 2 inch Ironman "heavy" springs off of ebay, and I need the front 2 inch springs to make the lift complete. At first I figured I would go with the Dakkar front springs, because they are only about $100.00 a piece from MAF, but now with the bushing problem, I might stay away from them. So does anyone have any suggestions as to what spring to go with other than the Dakkar's? Again they need to be 2 inch, and "heavy", and around a $100.00 per spring.


Thanks,
Zack

i don't know about the prices, but ironman and BDS are likely the same springs. My ironmans actually came stamped with the BDS symbol. so if you want a very good match, there ya go.

Went to BDS site. Went through the vehicle selection maze, only to find no offerings.

Tried looking through their products. The only leaf suspension lifts they show are 6" or more.

Yeah, they stopped production a while back, and liquidated the remaining stock, as posted here on 'Mud.

If you can wait, Hell Creek Suspension is brewin something up, in case you've been in a 'Mud-free cave for a few months, hehe

I definitely wouldn't let a bushing issue steer you away from the OME's IMOP.

If you want OME's, get them from Kurt, make sure you are getting the correct bushings (I'm sure you will from him), and he'll stand by it if anything isn't right. I've had my Dakars for near a year now, and I like them alot (even with the occasional pop).
