Icon stage 2 kit install finally

[Rplante3108]

Hey everyone! Finally got the Icon stage 2 kit put on today and let me tell you...coming off the RC leveling kit..its night and day. It drives like a dream. I still need to the key to do the adjustment on the coilovers because the guy said there is still some room to lift it up. I didnt take measurement before...sorry. I know the coilsprings raised the rear 1.5 inch. I also have a full core 4x4 rear upper, lower control arms. Sway bar links and the track bar. set up as well. I did get it fully aligned. It did put a rear rake to it again, but it needs to be adjusted up more in the front. Also if you are wondering... I have 35x12.5/22 tires with 2 inch wheel spacers. My drive way is on a hill so probably not the best to show the difference.

Nice! Hopefully I’ll have mine on in the next week or two. How much did you pay for the stage 2 if you don’t mind me asking? They were charging me 1520 just for the front with alignment, but I’m just gonna get the back too. Love the beefy front coilovers!

Nice job, the truck looks great. I am ordering those rear springs to replace my 1.5" rear spacer. Did you do anything else to the rear end when you installed the springs? Thanks

Thanks man and no worries! The shop I went to charged me $620 with alignment. I did the core 4x4 myself which saved me $500. I did have to buy a spanner wrench so the shop can raise it up some(hopefully next week it will be done).With the pre-load, it almost looks back to stock to be honest. I tried getting a good picture of my upper control arm and how level it was. It wasnt like that with the 2 inch rc level kit. It had a pitch to it.

Thanks! I cant wait to get it lifted up more in the front once this spanner wrench comes in. The shop did the springs for me, but nothing added or needed for those. Took the old ones out, put the new ones in. I hope that answers your question?

Yes thanks!

Yes thanks!

Here is a better picture of it on level ground. You can see..looks like factory with the rake. I keep reminding myself those rear springs lifted the truck 1.5inches more. I really wish I took measurements. My guy said the pre load on the coil springs set it up high. But I think they had it at stock ride height on the pre load to be honest. I will get final measurements by Wednesday or so

How does the Icon setup ride and handle on road compared to stock? Wondering if you had to give up on road comfort to improve off road performance.
Thanks

Do you think you got more than 1.5" of lift out of the rear springs?

To be honest, it drives super comfortable, I almost have to wake up to remember I am driving a truck. Its solid all around. With the full core 4x4 set up in the rear, the truck launches pretty firmly. I did it today with my wife in the truck( she hates it), it kind of shocked me because of how it threw me back in the seat.. wasn't expecting it. I'm super happy with this kit and would highly recommend it. I hope that answers your question

Looking at it now, I really think so. I just need to get a stock measurement high and then measure mine. I have been sooo busy at work(go figure) that I totally forgot to do it before I dropped it off. Let me find some post on here on stock ride height and compare mine. I'll let you know
