Iron Man vs. Old Man Emu

Looking at a lift kit for my 01 Sport specifically due to bottoming out in the rear when loaded with camping gear and driving off highway. There are two kits available OME and Iron Man both have comparable lift. Either way I will be going with the new torsion bars as well to hopefully preserve what little front flex I have. Iron man is significantly less expensive. I am asking here because I don't know of anyone that has used the ironman kit on the sport and only found a couple of installs for the full blown kit from OME.

Can't help you on the Mitsubishi but I have tested out the Ironman on my Jeep Liberty. I got one of the first ones in the US to run on mine for a while to see how they handled on and did off road. I had ran two different OME setups before and thought they were really good. The Ironman was just as good overall or maybe a little better I thought from my testing. I then installed it on a buddys KJ for him to test further ( he had OME before as well )
He likes the Ironmans ride way better . Has had it on for 6-7 months now with no issues so far. Since they haven't been selling over here that long I hope someone from Australia can give you some more information on how they are received over there.
I've installed over 30 OME full spring kits and 4 Ironman, everyone I talk to likes both.
