    Ironman or OME for y60?

    Hey!
    I am planning to install a 2" lift kit on my 1990 swb y60. But i am not sure if i should buy OME or Ironman. I hope that someone have some viewpoints and can help me with my decision!

    Both are good quality, OME probably the better of the two but usually also more expensive. There are many other good brands out there but not sure about the availabillity in Norway.

    It is a offer on the OME lift kit at the local 4x4 shop, so it is about the same price as the ironman. I dont think it is any other brands that is available in Norway...

    if the OME's are going for the same price as the Ironman, then I'd be going for the OME's mate.............. as Tony already said, OME's probably the better quality

    I don't think so mate............ but I'm not very technical or mechanically minded. No doubt someone who knows better will be able to answer correctly if I'm wrong.

    Its not really necessary if yours is in good order....... I've never been a big fan of the OME steering dampers myself, I found them a bit on the hard side but that is only my opinion. The rest of there products however are top rate.

    I went with an OME lift a couple years ago because I had a friend working for their regional distributor. The mistake I made was getting the HD shocks. They are fine when I have the Y60 loaded with family and gear. However, it is a rough ride if you are just traveling by yourself.
