ironman vs toughdog suspention

[Shane]

Howya ya goin fellas I'm stuck between getting a iron man suspention setup it pay the little bit extra for toughdog , wats your thoughts

toughdog would be the better option but comes down to what you do with it, what you expect from it and what your budget is. looking at shocks alone, ironman will be 35mm bore and toughdog is 41mm, so you get better control and less heat in the toughdog shocks. there are plenty of people that run ironman with no dramas, but for the bit extra, I'd go toughdog

+1 on that I went ironman because iv'e never had any issues and they are good bang for your buck.

Just curious how the 41mm Tough Dog shocks would go with clearance in the front control arms? Not alot of space in there. Ive got IFS shocks and they touch.

they'll be fine. my Bilsteins are 46mm and the KING coilovers are 63.5mm with no issues

Sorry mate, I was talking about the D22.

Grind the lip off the inside of the arm. No problems then. Or order some calmini arms and chuck them in.

Did you tough dog shocks end up being ling enough with the new arms? Also are they adjustables?

My foam cell non adjustable tough dogs are Long enough with the arms rusty. It's well and truly on the stops and still has some to go.
