I'm trying to find the factory lenght of the stock coils and see how much longer i could go, aparently they're 18.5" per the thread i created in the exterior section of the 4th gen trucks.Loving the build.
Between the TTC 1223 coils and extended length Bilstein shocks I'm managing just a little more droop than what you're seeing.
Anymore travel and the stock coil actually becomes the limiting factor. I could pull it out by hand.

Is the TTC 1223 linear or proggresive ?
do you know the free lenght on them ? and what were the specs on those extended Bilstein shocks ?
I'm going to call Icon today and see if they can give me the free lenght specs on their 1.5" lift rear coils.
I've also found BDS have a Fox 2.0 shock that i'm sure will work with those Icon 1.5" rear coils, BDS Fox 2.0 part# 98224758,for 2-4" lift 28" extended, 16.6" compressed, which is the same compression as the factory, so wouldn't have to add more bumpstops in the back.
For now i could add an extra inch droop in the back with Rancho RS999274, 26.3 extendedd, 16.52 compressed, this shocks fit the rear of the 08 RAM 1500's or 12 RAM 2500's, which also happens to fit 4th gen 1500's, and be done with it while i save for Coilovers, which more lilely i'll set anywhere between 2 and 2.5" depending on how much lift those Icons rear colil springs really provide.
Yes, i'm finding out we don't seem to have a big aftermarket selection of coils for expedition/offroad duties, but more for towing/hauling etc. This is where the aftermarket for Yotas do shine, those fackers have pretty much everything and anything, including all in between, and for whatever they want to do with their trucks , damn it, you know the offroad aftermarket is lacking when the only available gas tank skid is the Mopar version that fits the Power Wagons, i've seeing a couple of people running that one in their 1500's, but i don't see yet what's needed to fit that skid in.
I think the Icons will work well for what i'm wanting to do, i'll see if i can gather more details from Icon today, they should be able to hold more load compared to stock, and because they're progressive and longer, they should be able to work with those 28" extended shocks without problems.
Also Ty for the info on the Bilstein specs, you just saved me some money as i was going to order the Rancho set that could match their lenght, but it seems the stock coil won't be fully seated with those.
The Rancho specs for the current shocks i have in the back are
Rancho RS999367 - 25.580, 16.410
And you could run them without sway bar at full droop, without issues, that was the first thing i checked when i had them extended to the max, i wanted to see if i could even move them by hand, they won't even rotate, so they're seated good with those shocks.
TySeems to be run of the mill for companies. I understand the reason to an extent, but I was able to get more info from the "chat with a tech" window through rough country. Unfortunately for us it's just a bit more foot work on our end. I'll dig through my subscribed threads but somewhere in there I have seen a few people reporting the icons settle to .75-1".
