Icon 1.5 springs and stock rear shocks.

[Troutman561]

Are there any negatives to this? My truck only has 35k miles and my rear shocks are fine. Will the extra 1.5 affect the shocks or ride negatively? Thanks in advance.

They will fit fine I had a 2 inch spacer under my stock coils

Ok cool. Thx

If you street drive it only it wont be an issue. If you off road you will max out the shock which over time can damage the shock itself.

If you want the correct length shocks for the coils let us know. We can set you up with ICON or Fox rear 2.0 shocks that will work nicely with those awesome coils at a great price

I will second nick on this. I now have the icons from him and it is a night and day difference even just on the road. Well worth the money

600lbs of weight in the back and she handles dirt without sweating one bit, i need to relocate the spare from the bed. The damn 35 wheel/tire setup in the bed really uses a lot of real state back there and i'm starting to hate having to organize all the chit i throw in there trying to optimize the space left. I'm thinking rather than a front bumper i need to get something like Wilco Hitchgate Solo or similar approach bumper will be nice to have but at the moment functionality wise i need more space in the bed. Summer is coming and the outdoor trips with the family will start increasing.

Nick, could you also send me the pricing options. I only have 1.5 spacer in the rear and I'm looking to upgrade for offroading. Thanks!

The icon 2.0 rear shocks come setup for a 0-3" lift in back, which obviously more than covers the 1.5 you'll get with the coils. Fox is 0-1.5" I believe and Bilstein 5100/5160 is 0-1".

What do you have up front? Depending on the valving, either the Fox (linear-progressive) or Icon (digressive-linear) will pair better.

If you go with Icons, you'll likely have to do some grinding of the rear shock mount on the Frame of the truck. Real minor work, but a stupid situation if you ask me. Worth it though to get springs and shocks that are designed to work together.

Lastly, search for threads regarding the clicking of rear Icon coils. Common issue, not a problem, just annoying. Can be fixed DIY real cheap.
