Hey guys needing some info from the icon guys. What all shackles work? Was hoping dirt kings or camburgs would work. Was going with some +2’s.

I believe RPG makes them for Icons but call them to double check.
Last time I called Camburg,
they said they are working on making them for the double military warp that Icons have on both ends of the leafs.
Gonna have to call them too.

I think the RPG billets work, but not the regular RPGs if I recall, anyway, I have these on my icons, call the vendors to confirm fit:

*Gen 2, sorry about that*

My set of +2 RPG shackles required some clearancing with a die grinder to clear... Krazy House Customs also makes shackles that work with both Deaver and Icon...

So apparently camburg’s will work if you get +2’s. Going with those so we will see

I started with Camburgs and they did not work with my Icons, apg's were closer and I had to mod them (grinding for clearance)... I'm sure there are others but Krazy House were the only ones I found that specifically advertised they would work with stock, deavers, and icon rear springs...

Did you have the +2’s? Either way I can bust out the grinder. The KHC conversion was way more sketchy

if your talking KHC conversion, do you mean for Gen 2 shocks on a Gen 1 in the front, for the rear the shackle just sets ride height (more or less, it does change the arc that the rear leaf spring eye travels through as the suspension cycles), travel is limited by rear shock... unless your running an aftermarket shock, then you have to do your own math.... what i'm trying to say poorly, is the rear shackle does not care what shock is mounted in the back, you could even remove the shock, ride height unaffected... so the KHC conversion (I agree not crazy about hacking off shock/strut towers) really has nothing to do with KHC's offered three lengths of rear shackles (stock, +1, and +2).... hopefully that makes some sense or I misunderstood the statement...

I was just looking into stock length earlier this week, so that eliminates most of the options for Icon. It appears that the billet RPG ones work, but they are quite pricey. Seems to be a lot more options when going +1 or +2.
