Yeah, just whatever the Icon’s will set it at. 2.5ish. Been a long time since I’ve had anything lifted.

I know man I can’t wait to install them! Truck has 9400 miles on it so everything should separate easily. Hopefully they didn’t torque everything as much as they did that damn oil filter!!

Just remember to tighten all bolts when the truck is on the ground under its own weight.

I read his and yours already. I should have taken a vacation day today but oh well. I’ll get her done tomorrow. Did you get yours aligned the next day or did you drive it around for a couple days?

I had my alignment completed the next morning after the day I installed. I scheduled it like a week before hand and that's what they had available.

Gotcha. I made an appointment to get the tires installed Monday morning. I’m going to call the alignment guy while I wait. Tire shop doesn’t do alignments. Alignment guy doesn’t do tires. Ha! But he’s the best around here.

Measure the height when you get it aligned so you know how much it settles as most do, Then you can go back and get it aligned again if need be . It don't take much settling to change the alignment once it's been leveled and ya want them new tires to last . I normally align it myself and run it for a few weeks until the new springs get broken in then get a true alignment once

That’s kind of where I’m at with it. I kind of want to drive it for a bit and make sure I have it where I want it before the alignment. Plus that will give me chance to make an appt with him. Walk ins he’ll work you in but you gotta drop it off and that’s a hassle based on his location vs mine.

Copy that. I found the torque spec thread and took screen shots. Tq wrench is ready to go!!

if memory serves the top 3 bolts on the icons are torqued to 35LB and the lower bolt for the coil over is 150LB’s on the spec you got from here it will be higher for the top 45ish I think and the lower says 100lb.

Have an appointment to get the tires mounted tomorrow morning. I just got back from driving it around and wow. I love it. Its firm but not harsh and on the highway about 80 it SMOOTH. It went together well, the driver side came apart really nicely. The passenger side upper ball joint wanted some Kroil and a little heat but separated nicely after that. Shocks were easy of course the driver side was tricky. I ended up just cutting a wrench and it worked great but I’ll be ordering the Thuren kit. Took me several hours but I took a few breaks because it is brutal hot here right now and I had a brisket going so had to keep an eye on the temps. Major thanks to Nick@GotExhaust (I don’t know how to tag). He was extremely helpful and I’m going to bet, beat anyone’s price!
