The Bilstein 5100's or the Eibachs will give you close to 3. Not quite but very close. I don't recommend anything lesser than those because you are getting into cheap products and not saving money at that point. With either of those you can keep your rear springs and have the right amount of rake. And your Icon UCA's will work great with either of those choices.
Have not installed, they offer 2 coilovers and the one i purchased is 0”-1.5”.
The 211000 are what I have, if you look into their specs they lift a 4th gen 1.5-2.5" but a 5th gen lifts 0-1.5"
Maybe with Etorque?, because of the extra weight, but are adjustable. Might sacrifice ride quality though. Good to know for others.
How do they ride? Think I am gonna stick with icon and do the 2"-3" front resi coilovers with cdcv
They were a bit stiff low speed but decent on highway. Never did any offroad with them.
Do you like the fox 2.5 better?
100%
What do you like about them better? Will be putting around max reccomened pre load in them for hopefully 3” of lift although my truck is 7k pounds so Probaly won’t be 3”. Anywho would like to know your comparison of the 2. Truck does mainly street driving right now, but later down the line will do a multi state overland trip and hopefully frequent camping
Also- when you say low speed do you mean like 5-10 mph or like 30mph?
Okay thanks for the reply. The icons I have been looking are are obviously adjustable coilovers and advertise 2-3” of lift so what I was meaning by adding pre load was adding the max pre load they recommend. I’m not very educated on suspension but I understand that adding pre load will make ride stiffer but so will adding a stronger spring so what’s the benefit of the heavier spring? I have already sold the 0”-1.5” icons but from what you and another member have said is making me lean away from icon towards fox or maybe eibach. Would there be a issue with having rear icon 1.5” springs and their 2.0 shocks (digressive) and front foxes/eibach?
yes in a nutshell both will make the ride stiffer. however, with more preload you are just cranking more force onto the spring at ride height by compressing the springs. this makes the ride stiffer, but the small bumps and such will be more uncontrolled. maxing out preload can also reduce suspension travel as well, further reduce ride comfort. This also doesn't change the spring rate, so if the problem you are experiencing is due to heavier front ends and such (ie, in your original 1.5" coilovers) then the ride would suffer as well (being the spring rates are too light to handle the weight)
Under 40mph. On highway they were nice.
