Joe these are the front shock measurements and I believe the OP is looking for the Rears......

So anyone reading can be clear, the info above was originally from a bias source (nothing to do with Joe) and is inaccurate. Please find the correct shock measurements below, I'm sure you will see their intention.

The ICON Front shock measurements are

27.425 Ext
20.115 Col
7.31 Travel

The info that was posted by Joe originated from a test that BigJ put together (take a look here: http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f5/f...-0-vs-king-3-0-dyno-results-23405/#post423665). One thing that that I know about him is that technical integrity is his number one priority. BigJ would have rather not do a test than present biased numbers. If there was an error in how the travel was tested, that is one thing, but to say that he had a bias, I don't buy that.

I never insinuated that "BigJ" was to blame or questioned his integrity.....he just posted the info as far as I am concerned. What I was insinuating is that its pretty hard to measure a shock wrong, and be off by a 1/2" when you are trying to be so specific as was listed. In that same thread it was also apparent that the shocks were not dyno tested at the same stroke length clearly showing inaccurate information in whole. This test followed the original "shock shoot out" that was never conducted do to bantering. With that said, ICON was the first and only company to step up and fully support the test from day one. Mysteriously, with out our knowledge, the new front-stock-fox-vs-fox-3-0-vs-icon-3-0-vs-king-3-0-dyno-results thread with that info was posted. Maybe bias to some and not to others but interesting to say the least.

With all do respect, as I have always shown, my apologies BigJ if it appeared to be directed at you. There was no specific direction.

I'm curious Brad, why raise these issues 8 months later?

Also, if ICON was concerned with the results, why at the time would Dylan, an ICON rep, use words like "excellent", "accurate" and "well done" to describe them?

What's changed?

Measured the icons with and without the jounce bumper maybe ?
My fox's did look too have more travel before the jounce spacer, even with the truck sitting lower than with the icons.
