DOING THE HEAVY LIFTING
Why is it that shock absorbers get all the cool names and technology when springs are doing all the heavy lifting? When selecting suspension, the first component we look at is a spring selection. The springs are the component that does the actual suspending; the right spring is imperative to ensure your vehicle remains both capable and comfortable.

Ironman 4×4 initially started life as a spring works manufacturer, which means we’ve been making springs since 1958. Because of this, we like to think we know a thing or two on the topic!

SPRING SELECTION
Whether it be a leaf spring, coil spring, or torsion bar, each Ironman 4×4 spring is designed and manufactured specifically to suit each make and model.
We then offer a range of different springs and spring-packs to suit the most common load of your vehicle.
EVERY INCH COUNTS
Ironman 4×4 springs don’t just offer greater load-carrying capacity, they also offer improved clearance which increases approach, departure, and ramp over angles when off-road, as well as being very popular while fitting larger diameter tyres.
Larger tyres also improve your off-road ability with a larger rolling diameter for getting over obstacles and a greater footprint when deflated for improved traction.

LEAF SPRINGS, COIL SPRINGS AND COIL-OVER STRUTS
As a general rule, you can’t choose the type of spring to upgrade in your vehicle; the vehicle manufacturer sets the initial suspension design and then we look at improved and stronger versions of the same core spring design to improve your ride and handling.

LEAF SPRINGS
Leaf Springs are notoriously strong and capable, they are the preferred choice of manufacturers in the rear of utility vehicles with high rear payloads.
COIL SPRINGS
Coil Springs were all the rage on wagons with live axles. They can still appear in the rear of modern wagons, and are very popular on old Patrols and LandCruisers
COIL-OVER STRUTS
With the introduction of independent suspension came the Coil-Over Strut. Combining a coil with a shock-absorber for a neat package.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SPRING
FOR YOUR VEHICLE
In short, the best advice, is don’t!
Spring selection is best left to your local Ironman 4×4 team, as they are familiar with our specific line up of springs and have a vast range of experience across a number of different vehicles and use cases.
We recommend that you drop into your local store, with your vehicle and talk to an expert on choosing the rights springs to suit your set-up.
