Hey guys I'm part of the Ironman4x4 crew and I'm trying to get a feel for what others like and dont like about our products. The company over the next 6-12 months is going to expanding and we are gonna put out a lot more stuff. Your opinion and experience really counts.

My goal here is to allow a medium for comments, complaints, ideas, and general discussion about us and others and whatever questions. I'll also share our videos and upcoming sales so you guys can be in the loop.

So to start off who has been running Ironman4x4 products? What does everyone think?

You'll also be glad to hear, that we are people...not a mindless money driven industry stereotype looking to make every possible cent off you. You're not a customer to us, but a fellow enthusiast.

If this post isn't legal or needs to be moved, I understand. Admin can PM for issues.

Not running any of yall's products but it would be cool if you could make some Wj knuckle swap stuff, unit bearing adapters and steering primarily, as far as I know only jks offers anything and it seems kinda pricey for what it is, might be patented idk, just a thought.

We do steering linkage for the WJ swap. 7075 aluminun rods tapped for 1 tons or whatever you want typically. We're working on making a sway bar work around for the swap too, since it can be difficult to keep your swaybar with running the WJ knuckles.

We also have the WJ knuckle spacers we can cut out but I don't believe we advertise it on the site. Its such a low demand item lol.

The linkage depends. Its made for your particular setup so you would need measurments. We have 7075 and some other grade solid aluminum links that we can cut and tap. You would have to call and we could figure it out.

I'll have to get back with you on the spacers.

Okay cool, I'll probably just make my own linkage, but thanks for looking into the spacers for me.

Yeah a 3 link for the rear of the wj would be nice,The stock set up with a ball joint on top of the axle is strange to me.

I have to agree a cowl intake setup is a needed item as no one is making them now. A nice one with quality parts and using Turbo type tube not metal that gets heat soak.

I second this idea entirely. Did spectre stop making them though?

We focus more on suspension and steering components, so I can't say an intake will be on the drawing board anytime soon, but I've forwarded the idea to the rest of the crew.
