    Out of those two Tough Dog is Clear winner!

    For a 3" Lift i am running ARB Old Man Emu Comp Spec 3" with Nitro Sport shocks and Drop Boxes!! Winner Hands Down. Simply Awesome

    Iron Man are Junk in my world mate, budget Shock. This is my Personal opinion.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Hi mate - I've never run Iron Man or Tough Dog - but have heard "average" things about them both. But then again - have heard "average" things about a lot of stuff! As MR said, OME is well-regarded and I haven't heard anything negative about them. I run Dobinson coils and Koni springs in mine (but its only a 2" lift) and have been well pleased to throw that in the ring!

    I'm running 2" EFS as soft as I could get considering batteries, winch and bullbar happy, 4" flexi coils might be worth looking at, sits like 2" flexes like 4"

    Set of Koni for a GU will set you back $2000 plus, but they are adjustable and rebuildable.
    From reports I've heard worth the $$$$$

    I'm with mud runner. Out of those 2 brands tough dog is the go. But OME Is the ducks nuts. The average thing you will hear about tough dog is with there shocks but no one tells the other side about incorrect fitting and giving them a hiding.

    I'm not sure where your gettin the prices for the koni shocks but they aren't that expensive.

    I'm running 3inch efs extreme springs 5inch shocks castor correction bushes steering dampner etc and can't fault them. They are a stiff set up but helps reduce body roll. They soak up all the bumps body is not half as sore as it use to be with th oe
