G'Day Rick, are you happy with the ironman suspension on and off road?

rick

Comment:

all right tricky,under extreem flex i have heard a very slight rub on the front flaps,i know i should trim them a bit but i think they will wear in if they need to! as for the increase in fuel consuption i havent realy noticed,maybe as ive fitted a tdc chip this has cancelled it out???

Comment:

Have you had any probs with scrubbing when flexing off road? Have you noticed an increase in your fuel consumption?

Rick, How many k's have you done on those 285,s so far? Still no probs?

Comment:

hey farry, mine had a subframe which atatches to the roof then the unit atatches to that. remove the rear light cluster and look in side in hole you will see a bracket atatched to the roof,drill the small holes into this needed to self tap your subframe onto,then simply use the lights live and earth to power your machine,mine had an f.m modulator built in so no need to take any wires upfront simply tune your radio into the t.v.

Rick, just confirmed with a dealer here in Hervey Bay, and i can infact get around 65-70mm of lift standard...and then i was going to go 33" like you...but not sure about to coopers, i had them on my last truck but didnt really like them...mid you they were 2nd hand and had roughly 60% left....but they just werent what i expected! Comments???
