OME vs. IRONMAN 4X4

Where has this been discussed? I assume the extra $100 is worth it to go with OME. I totally dig the ride of the OME Heavies, from riding in my bosses 3rd gen. He did not have bumpers, winches or any other gear aboard and it rode some much better than my stock set-up.

Anyone running and loving the IRONMAN 4X4 set-up? If so, what is it equivalent to as far as MEDIUM or HEAVY springs?

Thank you!

I am running ironman in the front. They are ok, they feel fine, though I am mostly on road. I was disappointed by the fact that the bellows broke pretty quickly. They completely cracked all the way around, and now they just kind of sit there and don't really keep dirt out. Also, the rubber bushings are kind of seeping out of the joints. It looks like I cranked the bolt down way too hard and started forcing the rubber out like squeezing dough in your hands, but I did everything to the spec'd torques. If it's only a $100 difference, I'd probably go for the OME's, especially if you know you like how they ride.
