glad you're happy and thanks' for the feedback. It would be cool to put a bottle of water in the cup holder with a gopro on it. If anyone else does this.

Maybe I missed it, but why are you sticking with the ICON rear shocks? Is it because you already had them and felt they were up to the job and no need to change or was there another reason you kept them?
Sorry for the question if you already answered it...I'm just curious.
Awesome review comparing both shocks. I didn't get to really take a run on the weekend like I had planned to compare the stockers more with what you've been saying on the icons. I did managed to go down one dirt road for 10mins. Iv got a couple questions on what I noticed.
I know it was asked but what tires and psi are you running? I'm still running the bfg's in my other post talking about on road manners I said I was running 45psi before I blasted down the dirt road I dropped to 35psi the same psi I was running with stock shocks and on. On the little stuff it made a big difference soaking up the slow little stuff with more side wall flex. You can still feel the stiffness but its not truck jarring anymore.
On the springs you mentioned you were pretty sure spring rate is was your biggest issue for the slow speed stuff, the dirt road I was on had sections of pots holes now going through those at a good clip with the stockers the truck wouldn't roll as much side to side but you could feel they couldn't keep up and have a wheel off the ground here and there. With the icons the truck would roll more going in and outta the holes so the ride was ruffer but the wheels were always on the ground for me. So the question and this one is for dylan too if a softer spring was made and put on with the valving untouched do you think that would be enough remove the stiffness while keeping the wheels grounded. Or would you run into rebound and bottoming out problems not have to fight the bigger spring?

After riding in an icon equipped raptor, I'm anxious to feel Fox's. I wasn't too impressed with the icons. A little was the fact he was running too stiff of rear springs not knowing. The rear on your truck NTM, I can see why your liking the rear icons with the knob adjustability. You do know u can get fox to install the adjustment knobs on their shocks for $70 a side I believe. The rear suspension is what allows for a comfortable ride or not which I can also see y your keeping the icons for quick adjustability. Is this a main culprit why ur sticking with icons in the rear?! I'm anxious to see if you'll try fox again with rear knobs to finish off your findings.
