Bird, Blue- how many full turns on your collar when you raised the front? I did 6.

My measurements from center don't make sense based on your earlier post re measurements and stock shock equivalent (mid perch, top perch). Mine looks somewhere between top and mid.

So curious if you remember the # of full turns.

I left mine as-is out of the box on the fronts... which is about top perch height. Keep in mind, this was many months ago, and the default settings from Icon may have changed after myself and a few others reviewed them and had a few suggestions they implemented.

6 turns from what point? the top of the shock? I figured every turn to be about .375". So what's 6 turns about 2.25"?

6 turns from out of the box. Good point that out of box settings may have changed. My 6 turns was about 3/4" lift.

Interesting.

With the adjustment collar all the way to the top of the shock, that's about stock height. I figure I'm 5-6 turns "down" the shock and sitting a hair above mid-perch height. I might be but 1 turn down (higher) than factory settings. You sure about that? Count the # of threads exposed above the collar and I will do the same.

9 visible threads but measures 26.25 from center to flare. Hmmm.

Measuring at the front of the sidestep and the rear of the sidestep, the front of the truck is still 1/4" lower. Stock height national leafs in rear.

Guess I will let icon guys look at it in a week.

Yeah that's weird. When did you get yours?
