    Ironman Kit 2" / 40mm

    Hello everyone, I just got a great offer on an Ironman suspension kit (nitrocharger shocks, springs 2" lift) and was wondering if anyone has them on their Discovery and what has been your experience with them. I've allways used OME.

    More than their off-road use (which I've heard from some Toyota fellows who use them on the FunRace4x4 in Venezuela that it is very good and strong), I want to know if they are too hard for everyday use/commuting, etc...

    I have a Disco2 04 V8 4.6

    Thanks!!!
    Alfredo

    Im

    I have the IM on my D1 and found its great. The shocks are crap though because they leak and loose compression. I put Procomp shocks on and its fine.

    i have the ironman 2inch lift with the foam cell shocks and i love it, i also added 30mm coil spacers for a little more lift and its great i have no complaints and neither does the handbrake (wife) as its her daily driver. i also had the same suspenion in my previous d2 with the nitro shocks and it was ok aswell

    I had 2" lift installed in my D2 with Ironman shocks(Gas type) in front and Procomp in the rear.
    No problems so far over 40000Km covered.
    Found the ride at the back a bit harsch but will change to Ironman shocks and see if it improves.

    Procomps are softer than IM. Could be the spring rate in the rear.

    Driving over speed bumps make me believe that the softness is the problem.
    The suspension rebounds very quickly with quite a thump.
    Will get the IM shocks and see.

    Thats interesting, Mines doing the "thump" thing when lifted the extra 2" with the SLS switch (using 2" SLS spacers on rear).

    Im leaning to the fact it must be shocks, (still using factory shocks, cannot decide what to buy!!) but trying to work out why it "thumps".

    Your shock is topping out - getting to maximum extension and the piston is banging into the end of the body of the shock where the rod exits (the Gland)

    You need to get longer shocks

    What he said.
    You can't do a lift from standard without using extended shocks.
