I have the stage 5 kit on my Rebel right now. I gained about 1” of lift over the factory Rebel lift. The truck rides amazing and I have nothing but good things to say. The kit does great in the street and after a 1400 mile road trip with the family, I had no complaints. I’ve had the truck on 2 multi day 4x4 trips and the truck performed excellent. I’ve been using Icon suspension since they were under their former name, Donahoe Racing. Some will say they give some performance up to the bigger race names like King and Fox, but after running various setups over the years, I can tell you that is NOT the case. The thing to know about Icon is they use what is called digressive valving. A quick Google search can explain that much better than I can, but in a nutshell, digressively valved shocks have a compression profile that is stiff at first and gets softer the harder they are ran. The Icons excel in fast, cross desert runs. They are still compliant enough at slow speed on the street and offer great stability. If your looking for a more cush ride, the progressively valved shocks like the Kings and Fox models will provide a softer ride around town. I hope that helps.
