Suspension choice for NS - OME vs Ironman, and which one?

Axle weights are easy to get.

Well, sure, I just didn't know if weighbridges produce correct values in this situation (when the weight is applied to one end of them). Anyway, I'll post once I get some numbers.

It's a winch mount from Asfir http://www.asfir.com/mitsubishi-Pajero%20/503020 I've seen some mentions of it here on the forums. I don't even have a winch yet so obviously can't say how well it will actually perform but so far I can highly recommend it - fast shipping, easy installation and looks strong. It fits very very well to all the stock parts and holes (for some reason I didn't expect it to be that good). The only problem is that it comes without installation instructions whatsoever, they only provide a detailed drawing how to put together the mount itself which has quite a few parts. On the other hand, once you've removed the bumper it's pretty clear what to do.

Sadly I forgot to make any useful photos after fitting it as I wanted to put the bumper back first thing in the morning, and with the bumper on it's, well, hidden.

Thanks for that info. I have been looking at that one myself and when I asked for installation guide they gave me the same drawing.
In my attached photo, where do the hooks connect? Do they hook into the recovery points or is there somewhere else they hook into?

They connect to the very base of the recovery points, behind them. Here, I found a couple of early photos when I tried to understand where everything goes.

So far I only found out the total weight (need to find a less busy weighbridge to do the rest). It's 2650kg with a driver, almost full tank, two child seats but just a newborn in the back (and other accessories/gear I mentioned earlier).

The springs are 2914 front and 3110 rear.

Measured height of the empty car (only 25kg of child seats in the back):

front left 522mm
front right 532mm
rear left/right 555mm

Did you get any further on this? Are you sure they gave you the correct springs?

Yes, the springs are correct. I ordered all new spring insulators/pads and other stuff, hopefully it will improve the situation (front lower insulators are missing completely). Maybe I'll add a small 6mm strut spacer.
