Icon 3.0 Shock Rebuild suggestions? Add'l parts while I'm in there?

You guys are really helpful, I thank you all!!

Anyone got feedback on our oem SVT LCA's, in regards to maintenance? Is the lower ball joint and the two pivot bushings replaceable and should I just do those at 140k?

I just answered my question on RockAuto, I see a few lower ball joint options. Anyone used MevOtech TerrainToughXtreme? Looks like the better one of the SVT bunch and it's got a zerk fitting. I think I'll change the pivot bushings and tie rod ends since I've got to get it aligned anyways right? I'll go oem on those and maybe keep the old ones as spares if they're tight. Any recommendations on these items would be appreciated. RA does not show a lower pivot bushing SVT specific - Are those hydraulic pressed in/out?

I’ve been running the Mevotech’s on my rides and never had any issues. Just don’t overfill them

Oh, I LOVE the stuff Mazzula makes for sure, just don't think it's money well spent for my use. Your suspension looks SICK Canuck!! Is there any kinda seal on the bottom of their uniball? Love those Kings and that gusset welded to your steering knuckle, is that custom or does someone stock that? Baja Kits box kit? Looks light and effective. I'll call LSK and see what they say about Gen 1 fitment. Maybe since theirs doesn't have threaded heims at the frame pivot, it can't work for G1 and G2? I don't know...

Thanks. Its not done yet, I still need to make a new Bypass mount for the front. I didnt like the RPG ones I ordered as they really block access to the spark plugs on passenger side..Like you are never changing them after the mount gets welded on..lol
The spindle gusset I believe is an early version from RPG.. Its been a while..lol

Here is the set-up from my other Raptor. Will do the same on the silver 14.

Noticed you're using fixed pivot uca's. Do you ever have any trouble getting all the camber adjustment from just the lower control arm eccentric? I see so many billet uca's with threaded heim joint rod ends for 'alignment'. Clearly if you needed that, you'd have those, am I right?
