Ironman Shock Absorbers
NEW Professional Valving
Ironman 4×4 is expanding its range of shock absorber performance options.
Now with 3 distinct valving choices to specifically target a wider range of usage demands.
Introducing the new PROFESSIONAL valving, designed to suit extra heavy loaded vehicles with added accessories or modified high centre of gravity.
PROFESSIONAL contains specially tuned compression and increased rebound damping to maximise body control and stability in the rear of the vehicle.
The primary focus of PROFESSIONAL will be vehicles which are commonly used to carry heavy loads, including Toyota Landcruiser 200, 70 series, Hilux, Ford Ranger, Mazda BT50, Isuzu D-Max, Holden Colorado, Nissan NP300.
Ideally suited to trade professionals who use their vehicles as a workshop on wheels, or seasoned tourers who load their vehicles for extended journeys away, PROFESSIONAL also caters perfectly to the increasing popularity of ute service bodies, enclosed canopies and slide-on campers which all significantly affect driving stability and increase the risk of vehicle rollover.
PROFESSIONAL valving adds to the 2 existing options giving a total of 3 distinct valving choices to specifically target a wider range of usage demands.
The PROFESSIONAL range of shock absorbers will become available throughout 2019 and will be included in future catalogue updates.
Toyota Landcruiser 70 and 200 available in July / August.
PROFESSIONAL shock absorbers for Toyota Prado 120 / 150 are available now.
*Shock absorber valving options predominantly available for the rear of vehicles only, due to the nature of load positioning and variable loads.

Ironman 4X4 produces a range of 4X4 shock absorbers to suit a wide range of vehicles, budgets and uses.
Ironman GVM Upgrades
The usable payload of many 4X4 vehicles today is minimal. Additional basic optional equipment and two or three adult occupants will bring the vehicle close to its legal maximum weight (GVM) in many cases. Add long range fuel tanks, bull bars, winches, side steps, roof racks, recovery gear and a payload of camping equipment or an industrial type custom body and the vehicle will ultimately exceed the Original Equipment allowable Gross Vehicle Mass.
Original Equipment suspension is designed for comfort above all other considerations, thus load carrying and performance can be compromised. Whereas, Ironman 4X4 GVM upgraded suspension systems come with matched components for the ultimate in performance, load carrying and handling.
Ironman 4X4 GVM kits are fully track tested in conjunction with a Certified Automotive Engineering Signatory to achieve maximum stability, braking performance, ADR (Australian Design Rules) conformity and operator comfort, before test data and documentation are forwarded to the DEPARTMENT of INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORT, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT and LOCAL GOVERNMENT for full analysis.

Ironman Coil Springs
Ironman 4X4 produce a wide range of coil springs to suit a range of load ratings, all designed to maintain optimum ride height.
Coils springs produced by Ironman 4×4 undergo class leading manufacturing processes to ensure the highest possible quality, including:
CNC COLD COILED
All Ironman 4×4 coil springs are CNC Cold coiled to ensure perfect consistency and accuracy. The result of cold coiling means that springs are subjected to less heat during the manufacturing process to help maintain the materials properties and resulting in longer life.
BAR PEELED
Bar peeling is the process of forming the material to an exact size before coiling. This ensures the diameter remains constant and free of flaws along its entire length.
SHOT PEENED
Manipulates material surface tension to reduce stress, greatly enhances spring life.
TRIPLE SCRAGGED
Each coil is fully compressed to a solid state 3 times to minimise coil settling.
PROGRESSIVE AND LINEAR RATE
Used in accordance to original vehicle manufacturers preference, progressive springs increase rate as the spring compresses, linear springs maintain a consistent rate throughout its range.
POWDER COATED
All springs are electro-static powdercoated for a durable finish.
Ironman Leaf Springs
Ironman 4X4 produce a wide range of Leaf Springs to suit a range of load ratings, all designed to maintain optimum ride height.
Leaf Springs produced by Ironman 4X4 undergo class leading manufacturing processes to ensure the highest possible quality including:
INTER-LEAF LINERS
Used in some applications to lower friction between leaves reducing noise and improving comfort.
LINED BOLT CLAMPS
All Ironman springs feature bolted guide clamps for greater flex, the addition of anti-friction liners ensures noise free smooth operation.
SHOT PEENED
Shot peening manipulates the spring materials surface tension to reduce stress and will enhance the springs life.
DIAMOND CUT LEAVES
Distributes load at the leaf tip and reduces interleaf friction.
MILITARY WRAP
Where applicable, an additional wrap around the leaf eye protects from failure in case of damage.
