I agree that the icon is a better setup but if you have a Rebel or ORG springs, wont it only get you 1.5" of lift in the front? Same with the king coilover setup? So while your actual suspension setup is better all around, you're still not level unless I am wrong here.
Yeah that would be the case unless you added a top hat spacer to bring the front up a little bit more. Hopefully they have a long travel version in the works. Icon makes a long travel version for other models where the shock is physically longer and adds 1" of suspension travel, requires UCA replacement but they are typically a full race shock with remote resi with CDCV, right inline with a set of Fox, King or Radflo in performance and price. Fabtech also has a kit with a full coil over replacement. Below is a rebel with the Fabtech coil over kit. $2900 non resi, 3300 with resevoirs but no damping control circuits.

How is fabtech in comparison to ICON and King in terms of longevity and reliability?

What is the height setting on that? it looks like the rake is about near stock?

Man, that does look good, 35s + this, and if we can add LSD or locker up front, I'll probably end up keeping the truck for a while.

I have never heard anything in regards to their shocks, ride quality or build construction. But their hard parts, lifts brackets control arms and what not are all high quality and reliable, I would assume the same goes for their shocks.

I'm not aware of any lockers available for the IFS front end on the Ram. You could always do a straight axle swap though :)

At that rate I'll just get a power wagon, but I really prefer the 5th gen cab over the 4.5, there's a member here working on regearing the truck to 4.56, he mentioned about the ring gear is welded to the carrier, I guess when more trucks show up in the yard, I'm going to pick one up and fab a locker for the front.

not sure on that. I would call their tech support line (i did) and they answered all my questions about the setup i am getting. Sorry.

Broken front CV shafts and horrible tie rod and ball joint angles and a bunch of front issues is what you're gaining. The falcon shocks on the highest setting would replace your daystar spacers and keep the truck level.
