Description
Melton 4WD offers a complete integrated Ironman 4×4 range of suspension kits, designs which have evolved over 50 years of suspension experience. We recognise that there is no single solution practical for the varying needs of 4×4 owners and different driving conditions, therefore Ironman 4×4 offer a wide selection of matched components, once fitted will transform the vehicle around the drivers needs.
STEP 1. WHAT’S YOUR LOAD When your load changes, so should your springs. Any heavy accessories or towing load added to your vehicle, changes the handling and overall safety when driving. The vehicle’s springs must be matched to the load for optimum ride height and body control. Ironman 4×4 offers a range of springs to match the additional loads whether they are constant or temporary. When you start kitting out your vehicle, take into consideration the kerb weight and how much load you are adding, this will change what level of strength you need. STEP 2. CHOOSE YOUR TERRAIN The terrain you travel most, determines what type of shock absorber is right for you! Forces generated by a loaded vehicle in rough terrain versus a lightly loaded vehicle in smooth terrain, differ greatly and can be considerably higher. Creating safe and appropriate dynamic handling at higher than original weights requires careful consideration. The range of Ironman 4×4 shock absorbers are designed to cover all terrains and possess the correct amount of damping resistance to provide a safe and comfortable ride.
NITRO GAS SHOCK ABSORBERS – EASY TERRAIN Who’s up to smooth out the bump and grind on the road? Ironman 4X4 pressurised shock absorbers helps to boost performance and adapts to a wide range of driving styles.
- NITROGEN GAS PRESSURISED – Low pressure nitrogen gas dramatically reduces the likelihood of oil aeration and shock fade.
- 35mm TEFLON BANDED PISTON – Precision shim-stack piston specifically valved by Ironman suspension engineers, banded with teflon for smooth long life operation.
- 54mm TWIN TUBE BODY – Increased oil volume for improved cooling and endurance, Twin tube construction protects internal components from rock damage.
- 16mm HARD CHROME PISTON ROD – Hardened and polished, volumetrically balanced to piston size.
- FLEXIBLE RUBBER BUSHES – Offers quieter operation and reduces damaging side loads from shock absorber.
- TRIPLE-LIP HIGH PRESSURE NOK SEAL – Maximum gas and oil retention ability to withstand high displacement off road use.
- SUPPLIMENTARY WELDED MOUNTS – Fusion welded and supplementary welded for maximum strength and reliability.
- SINGLE PIECE BILLET EYE RINGS AND STEMS – Ultra robust design prevents breakage or bending of mounts.
- VEHICLE SPECIFIC VALVING – Every part number is specially valved for each vehicle application, this ensures the best possible ride and handling as intended by Ironman suspension engineers.
- LONG TRAVEL – Suitable for standard and raised height vehicles, additional length increases wheel articulation.
- IMPACT RESISTANT STONE SHIELD – Steel or Polyethylene dust shield protects piston rod from impacts and road debris.
FOAM CELL SHOCK ABSORBERS – ADVENTUROUS TERRAIN Eat potholes for breakfast. Ironman 4×4 Foam Cell Shock Absorbers are designed to enhance off-road durability and performance whilst providing improved on-road suspension.
- FOAM CELL TECHNOLOGY – Micro-Cellular closed cell foam insert maximises cooling efficiency by occupying less internal space than gas within a pressurised shock absorber. Greater oil capacity and more surface area maintains lower operating temperatures.
- 40mm TEFLON BANDED PISTON – Precision shim-stack piston specifically valved by Ironman suspension engineers, banded with teflon for smooth long life operation.
- 60mm TWIN TUBE BODY – 50%-100% more oil volume than a gas shock absorber for superior cooling and endurance. Twin tube construction protects internal components from rock damage.
- 18mm HARD CHROME PISTON ROD – Hardened and polished, volumetrically balanced to piston size.
- FLEXIBLE RUBBER BUSHES – Offers quieter operation and reduces damaging side loads from shock absorber.
FOAM CELL PRO SHOCK ABSORBERS – DEMANDING TERRAIN Who’s up take it to the extreme? Ironman 4×4 Foam Cell Pro Shock Absorbers are built to handle anything, in all conditions.
- FOAM CELL TECHNOLOGY – Micro-Cellular closed cell foam insert maximises cooling efficiency by occupying less internal space than gas within a pressurised shock absorber. Greater oil capacity and more surface area maintains lower operating temperatures.
- 45mm TEFLON BANDED PISTON – Precision shim-stack piston specifically valved by Ironman suspension engineers, banded with teflon for smooth long life operation.
- 65-72mm TWIN TUBE BODY – 50%-100% more oil volume than a gas shock absorber for superior cooling and endurance. Twin tube construction protects internal components from rock damage.
- 20mm HARD CHROME PISTON ROD – Hardened and polished, volumetrically balanced to piston size.
- FLEXIBLE RUBBER BUSHES – Offers quieter operation and reduces damaging side loads from shock absorber.
STEP 3. WHAT’S YOUR RIDE STYLE
