GEN 2 Icon multirate rear springs added for towing. Rear of truck is too high now.

Hey sorry to bring up this convo from a while back. I'm considering ordering the Icon springs as well. Just curious, it looks like per the instructions I would remove the factory bump stop and replace it with the bump stop spacer kit from Icon. Is this the same setup you went with and do you have any issues with the bump stop spacer kit?

Correct or a full on bump kit. I have the SVC bump kit with Fox ifp.

Yes, I have the bump stop spacer and everything works as advertised. I raised the front a little with Eibach's. I have left the rear on option 3 for now.

How much have the eibachs raised your front? Have a new set of eibachs in my garage waiting to be put on but I’m stock rear and don’t want to put them on and have a “Cali-lean” rake.

Probably about 2".

Do you mind sharing a side photo with Eibachs and Icons at option 3??

On factory wheels and tires it has about 2.5 inches of rake. 41 3/8 in the front and 43 7/8 in rear with a full tank. I don't mind the rake that much, but it is a little firm in the rear is how I would describe it. I'm getting use to it though.

My option 2 was too high too. I switched it back to option1. You could get an SDHQ 1” lowering shackle to help a bit.

Same here. Option 2 gave me almost 3". I'm going to option 1 next week.

So what did you put up front? Any springs or collars? And do you have a good side pic to show the 3” rake on Option 2?

I currently have RPG adjustable collars in the middle slot. To clarify my earlier post, the Icons in option 2 didn't give me 3" of rake front to back, they gave me 3" (damn near, actually 2-7/8") of increased ride height in the rear, over stock, with no weight in the bed. That said, rake-wise I am a ridiculous 2.75" higher in the rear, measured from level ground to bottom of fender flare. I knew exactly what would happen -- I installed the ICONs on option 2 for two long towing trips, and now I'm going back to option 1, as I don't tow frequently. Sorry, I don't have pics handy.
