Actually I couldn’t tell on my phone you didn’t have a bump plate. I thought it as a requirement, if not than I might just do the plate for hydraulic bump now so I’m not replacing u-bolts later when I install one.
I’ve got a set of the super sumo helpers, I’ll probably run those until I get...
The bump stop is built into the lift block between the factory spring and axle. The Icon spring has more arch to it so the block is not required, but you still need to have something for the factory bump stop to contact. The extension or spacer is ment to adjust for the added distance between...
So other than @Obscure with his fancy pants spring compressor what have others used? I’ve found these two options. Shankly and Goplus 20inch
If I get the Shankly version I’d probably get two sets to cover my butt. If eibach fits in the goplus and people have positive experience with that...
I plan to start with the second setting on the Icons and a new heavier duty shackle factory length to begin with. I do use a set of the super sumos when towing.
Edit 2 min after first post: I’ve been looking at the Camburg MIG shackles, are there any others worth a look?
Here’s the work order the other guy posted, when mine starts to leak I’ll get a metal one installed. Or maybe sell my 18 and get a 19... damn this forum
I know it sucks to have a plastic pan, thanks for posting the work order so we can see the parts list. When mine starts to leak (I’ll check in a month when I get home) I’d pay to have a metal pan put on also. Pissed me off I couldn’t get a pan heater installed when I got it home. (I live in...
I plan too replace shackle with a factory length aftermarket option and install the Icon springs at option 2.
If I decide to go with option 3 of the Icon springs I’ll get a longer shackle and limit straps until I upgrade the shocks.
I’ll be getting a set of the SDHQ bolt on bump pad until I...
Have you got a build thread I want to see yours after you get the eibachs up front and option 2 of the Icons installed. I’d ask for wheel well measurements but people might start dictating where to measure from. I’d like mine to have a rake after I swap springs.
Have you looked at American truck covers? They have two different size tool box options you’d have to swap out your back flip cover though.

I’m thinking about the third setting with a drop shackle for the added weight capacity (but I don’t want it to ride like 1Ton either), and thinking about setting 2 with standard length shackle. I’ll probably start with level 2 and see how it does with the trailer and if needed I’ll add the leaf...
I was thinking of doing it not nessasaraly for the extra droop but more for the additional load capacity. And yes I’d have to do limit straps to protect the stock shocks and probably look at the longer brake lines To cover my ass. Im about the same of 350-450 pounds all the time, plus gear if...
What setting are you going to run your Icons? I carry 350-450lbs all the time and I do tow with mine maybe 5-6 times a year. I’m back and forth between setting 2 with normal shackle and 3 with a 1 inch drop shackle. I’m waiting until closer to my return date to order the Icon and Eibach springs...
What setting did you go on the Icon leafs? I’d like to see some more pictures of the bumper, from the side so we can see how the clearance is with the KC lights on there. I looked on icon site and couldn't find any at a good angle.
Icon is built into the body. Fox and king look to be at the “top”
Icon is the only one I’ve seen that way, but I’ve been trying to cut back on my looking.
For those that have done the eibach springs, did you have to purchase any A-arm bolt kits to get the alignment done properly? I just want to make sure I order everything all at once.
I ran siped toyo MT’s on my ‘97 1ton diesel for years they did fine in the winter time. That being said I’ve moved since I originally started running the toyo’s, I did have issues with icy roads and the MT’s on the old truck before I sold it. I plan to get a set for this truck with a set of...
