Hey Greg, Icon says that the Icon front shocks are setup a hair higher then top perch, is that what you went with or did you have them choked. Also did they make the change yet for the RCV CV's?

Mine are choked to be at midperch height... And the lower spring cup is still old style..

Also... Driver side rear shock could be almost totally compressed with my weight on it, the pass side could be compressed several inches..

Hmm bad shocks at 17,000 miles..

Yep sound like your rear shocks were done. When I took mine off I could not get mine to budge a bit even when putting all my weight on them.

Just wanted to let you know we are setting them up for the truck to be level with stock rear springs. We would consider it to be a "visual level". Obviously this will vary from truck to truck but it seems we are about center between mid and top perch on most.

Changes were made for the fitment of RCV axles and there should not be an issue going forward.

Have they always been set up to be level, between mid and top, because I was previously told that they would be a hair over top perch which would not be level and hard on the CV'S. Just wondering if I should have mine choked or install as is. I would hate to install to find out it sits too high.

That came from me and I was wrong..
