03 THE BEST KIT FOR YOUR SETUP

IM2.5 MONOTUBE SUSPENSION. Confidence you can feel, control you can trust.

The IRONMAN 4X4 IM2.5 is the ultimate suspension upgrade. Premium 2.5" aluminium monotube suspension and control arms engineered for smoother control, consistent performance, and long-distance durability on road and off.

SMOOTH, NOT SOFT.

  • Smoother on tar, more composed on gravel, sharper through corners

  • Improved ride quality and composure over corrugations, uneven surfaces and changing terrain.

  • Tuned for superior on-and-off-road performance

  • Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium construction throughout

LIGHTER. COOLER. STRONGER.

  • 30% weight reduction over twin-tube steel shocks

  • Runs harder, longer! Better cooling prevents fade under sustained use

  • Up to 4mm wall thickness with ultra-thick Type 2 anodising

  • Built for daily commutes, touring, towing and overland adventures

ENGINEERED FOR RELIABLE PERFORMANCE.

  • Massive 2.5" piston = 60% larger surface area than the Foam Cell Pro

  • Upper control arms included as standard

  • Correct geometry and precise handling from day one. Nothing to add later

  • The IM2.5 is the only complete suspension system. Not just a suspension kit; a full performance upgrade.

Features & Tech Specs

IM2.5 Monotube Suspension Details

ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION

IM2.5 is made from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium, which is 30% lighter than traditional steel shocks. This reduces unsprung weight, improves responsiveness and helps your suspension react faster to changing terrain.

Aluminium also dissipates heat four times more efficiently than steel, keeping shocks cooler under sustained loads and maintaining performance over long distances.

MONOTUBE DESIGN

Unlike twin-tube shocks, IM2.5 uses a monotube configuration with an Internal Floating Piston (IFP). This separates 200 PSI nitrogen gas from the hydraulic oil, preventing aeration and ensuring consistent damping — even under repeated hard use.

The monotube layout also allows inverted mounting, keeping the shock body high and protected from rocks and debris.

CNC-Ported Piston & PTFE-Teflon Band

The IM2.5 piston is CNC-ported billet aluminium with a PTFE-Teflon band and O-ring sealing. This precise engineering allows oil to flow smoothly, softening minor bumps while maintaining firm control on larger impacts.

The result is refined ride quality without compromising handling.

HEAVY DUTY SEALS & RODS

Class-leading NOK seals on the IFP separate gas and oil reliably, preventing leaks or foaming.

The 20mm hardened steel piston rod, combined with a robust dirt shield, ensures durability where shocks experience the most stress — maintaining smooth operation mile after mile.

Every component — from the billet piston to the monotube body — is designed to work together.

WALL THICKNESS & PROTECTION

IM2.5 shock bodies feature 3–4mm wall thickness and are finished with ultra-thick Type II anodising.

This combination provides superior corrosion resistance, abrasion protection, and strength, even under harsh off-road conditions.

TUNED FOR REAL WORLD DRIVING

IM2.5 is precision-tuned to provide controlled comfort and fade-free performance, whether cruising highways, tackling corrugations, or crawling over rocky trails.

It’s suspension engineered for the long haul, with both comfort and capability in mind.

UPPER CONTROL ARMS — INCLUDED AS STANDARD

Most suspension upgrades improve the shocks and leave your geometry unchanged. The IM2.5 doesn't. Upper Control Arms are included as standard, correcting suspension geometry to work in harmony with the new ride height and shock performance from day one.

Without UCAs, even the best shocks can't perform to their full potential. Incorrect geometry leads to uneven tyre wear, compromised handling and unpredictable behaviour under load. With the IM2.5, everything works together as it should. Correct geometry. Precise handling. Nothing to source separately, nothing to add later.

This is what makes the IM2.5 the only complete suspension system — not just a component upgrade, but a full performance solution engineered to work as one.

03 THE BEST KIT FOR YOUR SETUP

FOAM CELL PRO SUSPENSION. Built for the load. Proven in the punishment.

Military-grade foam cell technology engineered for heavy overland use, sustained loads, and the unforgiving terrain that breaks lesser shocks, kilometre after kilometre, continent after continent.

BUILT, NOT BABIED.

  • Roof tent, drawers, water, fuel, recovery gear. FCP is engineered for vehicles that carry everything, everywhere.

  • Foam cell technology eliminates oil cavitation under sustained heat and load, helping maintain consistent damping performance when conditions get harsh and distances get long.

  • Tuned for full-load overland touring. Whether you're crossing the Kalahari, dropping into Kaokoland, or hauling for the next two weeks, FCP stays controlled under weight and consistent across changing terrain.

MILITARY-GRADE. GLOBALLY PROVEN.

  • Trusted by military, fleet and expedition vehicles around the world. The same foam cell platform relied on where durability and reliability aren’t optional.

  • 20mm hardened chrome piston rod. Industrial-grade chromed rod with multi-lip seal and dirt shield resists pitting, scoring and contamination, even after years of abuse

  • Reinforced twin-tube construction. Built to absorb sustained punishment while maintaining consistent performance under load.

ENGINEERED FOR HEAVY OVERLAND USE.

  • Multi-stage progressive valving. Comfortable when empty, controlled when loaded. FCP responds to load and terrain instead of locking you into one ride profile.

  • Large oil capacity helps manage heat buildup over long distances, maintaining damping consistency during sustained off-road driving.

  • Designed for vehicles that live under load. Canopy, long-range tank, dual-battery, drawers, roof tent, and recovery gear. FCP was built for that vehicle. Not the showroom one

Features & Tech Specs

Foam Cell Pro Suspension Details

Foam Cell Technology

The defining feature of FCP. Instead of relying on pressurised nitrogen gas to prevent oil aeration, FCP uses a microcellular foam insert that absorbs displaced oil as the shock cycles.

The result is no pressurised gas to lose and no aeration under hard sustained use, even when the shock is working hard for hours on end. Damping stays consistent and predictable exactly when you need it most.

Twin-Tube Construction

FCP uses a reinforced twin-tube body: an inner working chamber surrounded by an outer reservoir. This design carries more oil than a comparable monotube, giving FCP greater thermal capacity for long, hot, heavy days behind the wheel.

The twin-tube layout is also inherently more impact-tolerant: a dented outer tube doesn't necessarily disable the shock. For overland and remote-area use, that resilience matters.

Multi-Stage Progressive Valving

FCP shocks are tuned with multi-stage valving that responds differently to low-speed inputs (body roll, weight transfer) and high-speed inputs (corrugations, sharp impacts).

The result is composure under load on the highway and absorption on the rough, without the harshness of a single-stage performance shock or the wallow of a stock unit.

20mm Hardened Chrome Piston Rod

Industrial-grade hardened steel rod, chrome-finished for corrosion and scoring resistance. Backed by an external dirt shield that keeps abrasive contaminants away from the rod, critical on Africa's dust, mud, river crossings and salt routes.

Sealed-For-Life Construction

FCP shocks are factory-sealed, factory-charged units. There is nothing to top up, no gas pressure to lose, and no rebuild schedule to keep track of. The shock body is finished to resist corrosion, UV and abrasion, and the external dirt shield protects the rod from contamination. Fit them and trust them.

Tuned for the Loaded Vehicle

FCP is specifically valved for vehicles carrying weight. Spring rates are matched to GVM, payload and accessory profile, including options for long-range tanks, canopies, drawer systems and rear bumpers.
