The tires I ordered are rated at 34.76" tall and 12.52" wide, so they will be close. My vendor was out of stock on this wheel, so they said 7-10 days. Hopefully I will have the Icon kit here by then so I can knock this out in the next 2-3 weeks.

Make sure we get lots and lots of pics. And since you're mr awesome, make sure you take before and after pics in the same spot... so we can see the difference... don't be lazy!

Well I bit the bullet and ended up ordering the Icon Stage 5 Kit this morning. Figured might as well go all out with the adjustable shocks only being a couple hundred dollars more. I will be doing a write up on this kit with before/after pics, install pics, and ride quality review both on/off the road. I have high hopes for this kit.

Can't hit the like button enough! Love the wheels, tires, and the suspension. This will be sweet.

I spoke to Icon today, and it looks like we are about 3-4 weeks out on the shocks, so I am going to go ahead and install a set of Bilstiens at 2.8" in the meantime so that I can compare the ride/performance from stock, to lowered, to Bilstiens, to the Icon kit.
I will do a write up once its all said and done to hopefully help anyone else who is considering a similar setup.

Icon upper control arms came in today. Just waiting on the 3/4" rear spacers to come in tomorrow so that I can hopefully install the Bilstein setup over the weekend.

Not to sidetrack but does anyone have a comparison between icon control arms and zone control arms? I'm looking at an icon kit for my truck and want to swap the control arms but I don't want to spend the money on the icons. The zones are beefy looking. And the icons are uniball.

im not going to lie, I was hoping you were going to have a 6" kit with custom kings built, or maybe a 4" kit, thuren kings, and a 2" leveling kit to set you about 4.5".
But I suppose Icon is nice too.
