Fox vs Icon random discussion thread

[Westside Offroad Group]

Congrats on the massive upgrade!

 

[iSurvive]

Interested. RPG dual front shock set up requires New UCA and LCA, do you currently have an Icon UCA also? If so, selling as a package?

I have a 2013 FX4 with all RPG goodies, but in order to fit 3.0's I need to upgrade to Raptor parts up front thus would also need UCA and LCA which is why I'm asking......

Shoot me a message and let me know your thoughts. Definitely interested and don't mind paying shipping here to SoCal.

Let me know, thanks!

The RPG dual shock setup requires new LCAs. The top shock mount for the dual shock is welded to the frame. I already have the RPG UCAs installed. I do not think new UCAs are required for a Raptor install.

I do have the stock UCAs and tie rods in my garage. Just added them to the TRR Garage Sale yesterday and already have people interested, but no buyers yet.

You do know that the only reason RPG went with the dual front set up is because they couldn't get the performance dialed in with just one? The reason they started hyping the Fox adjustable recently is because RPG themself knew that Icon was blowing Fox out of the water. It takes two fox shocks to get the performance of one Icon shock. Think I'm telling a lie? Do some research. Ask around. Ask non RPG guys. You should really keep your icons if you're into performance.

Icon has a dual front setup, why not go that route and save some money at the same time?

Dual set up or not, the rear is what's holding the Raptor back. Get some 3.5's, notch the frame, go sprung under, and do a small bed cage haha!

Anyhow good luck with the sale!

In that case is a cantilever setup just as good?

This has to be the dumbest stupid ****** answer ever. Your telling me 1 coil over 3.0 works better and outruns a bypass 3.0 and a coil over 3.0. Are you on crack. Have you ever rode in one with duals and tell the difference. Do u realize how much more control and how much more abuse the truck can take. Do u know that the fox bypass acts as a bump stop instead of adding a bump stop so u have more travel. Wtf lol. Whatever your smoking jack I want some. Not sure y all trophy trucks aren't running icons! Sounds like your doing a lot of listening from a familiar vendor.




Edit.....

It's not possible for a single 3.0 to have the same dampening effect as a 3.0 coil and bypass running on the same component

Guys, keep the discussion on topic. If you want to discuss the performance or installation aspects of other systems, please discuss it in the Suspension Mods forum.

Sorry buddy. Saw your comment after I posted.

You are right. 3.5 makes a world of a difference when having duals. The 3.0's will not keep up with front if having duals! I agree
