If my truck was a human, it would be that guy. Loud, smelly, powerful, white, and people constantly stare.

I'm really surprised you aren't putting a on bumpstop kit of somekind. I guess the Icon's do have a built-in stop, but I still be worried about the frame bending if I were going to the TRR. Then again, I didn't hear about anybody bending their frame; only RPG landing their Raptor on top of a fence post.

Bird, any additional words on the icon LCA skids? I'll be putting a set on the truck before TRR, any advice would be great.
Thanks,

Not really, should be an easy install. Just remember to attach everything loosely then tighten it all down at once when you're satisfied with the alignment. Securing the bolt to the sway bar end is kind of a PITA but if you have some socket extensions and a pivoting socket head you should be good.

I am sold by the fact that the ICON truck does not have a bump stop kit and they have driven that truck probably 10 times harder than I plan to. As far as I know and can tell from pictures their frame is straight as an arrow. Not to mention I have the benefit of added strength of the 2013 frame and the SDHQ reinforcement kit. If I can bend my frame, shame on me.
