Iron man suspension

Im new to the forum and looking for some advice. I just traded in my trusty, but well used, 06 Tacoma for a 2017 Dcab TRD OR. Looking to add a lift with coil overs and was looking at either Icon, King or Old man Emu. However, the folks that did the work on my old taco recommended the foam filled Iron Man stuff. I've never heard of them but I'm sure some of you have. They are a lot less, which is good, but not sure they are good.

Any thoughts and advice would be great.

would go OME imo...

I personally like my suspension, but I'm not sure what your application is. They are less expensive and they do a great job, but I'd probably go a different route if I didn't get a special deal on them too.

 

I was quoted $1500 for the complete setup with out UCAs.

 

For $200 less you can have OME without UCAs.

Check with @HeadStrong Off-Road.

What's your budget and use? I always will say kings cuz they're king. But they're not practical for most. If you wheel frequently and have the money do it. If not OME seems good and the bilsteins everyone else gets seem to do well too

 

I'm leaning towards Kings. The OME recommended are the BP51. About the same price as kings. This is from Toytec.

I am on lots of rutted, washboard and washed out trails. Not so much rock crawling. Also do a fair amount of faster desert runs once in a while.

 

IIRC, Ironman was started by ex-ARB employees.

 

Toytec tried selling me the OME also but i ended up buying the king off them. More than i wanted to spend but the speed bumps at the mall are.getting bigger. Hugo helped me out and answered all.my questions evwn the dumb ones i had. Its on route should recieve it friday

 

Can't go wrong with either. I run KING's on my truck that I got from Toytec and they're great. On the plus side too, Toytec is running a promotion right now with the BP-51 where you get a free engraved Benchmade knife.

BP-51s have the least amount of travel out of all the major coilovers. Ehemmm go kings.

 

nothing ride likes a KING

 

I didn't know that. I've just seen people loving them haha. But I still got Kings

 

Sounds like Kings are the way to go. Really appreciate the feedback.

 

Now just not sure I want to go TC UCA again or go with a ball joint type UCA.

 

I ordered kings with the Dirt King UCA same quality as the other name brands i just wanted a factory look.

 

I believe you have to get uniball ucas if you want the full extent of travel with coilovers.
