    I have the iron man oversize foam cell shocks and 2" lift and oversize damper.

    They were an excellent improvement when I first installed them and are still excellent now years later. I also got the HD springs - the bumps do seem smoother when you have a load in, but are comfortable when the car is empty too.

    I got mine from John Zordo at zordos suspension (Google it). He is very knowledgeable and doesn't sell you stuff that you don't need.. unlike other places..
    Service is excellent too. He can fit there or just post the gear yo you.
    After sales service is great too, one of my spring tower rubbers was creaking (not his fault, they were just old) but he diagnosed it over the phone and sent me some for free.. that's excellent.

    I've never been a fan of Tough dog shocks. I've used them and got rid of them after they started to leak though it was the 45mm adjustables that I had not the ones your referring too.

    They seem to have more failures then any other shock. Think of them as the Coppers of the shock world and you will know what I mean.

    The only shocks I will use these days are Bilsteins.

    Cheers Mick.

    You'll find that will happen if you take their standard setup for a 2" lift. You have to insist (beat them over their thick skulls) that they install the Comfort Shocks, as the installers will instinctively reach for the standard shocks and install them. I had this happen to me and when I drove out of the shop, I went about 500m, turned around and went back to the shop and told them I wanted the Comfort Shocks installed. When they checked, the installer had put in standard shocks. For the life of me, I can't understand why they don't try and promote the Comfort Shocks more, as they'd have a shed load of happy people recommending them far and wide.

    Cheers

    I've got 2" Tough Dog lift kit including 41 mm foam cell shocks, can't really complain yet, only had them for about 4 months.
    Those shocks were winners of 4WD Action magazine test as best overall (you choose to believe them)not so long ago.

    I've used the OME 2" springs with the Comfort Shocks for years now and have found that combination to be excellent for ride and handling. I've had the OME standard shocks in the past (the ones they always try to install with the 2" kit) and found them to be extremely harsh. The Comfort Shocks have softer valving in the compression stroke, so you don't get the jolt (lift) on bumps like you do with most other shocks. I've done a 100,000+km on my current setup and still going strong.

    Cheers
