ICON coil up front and Fox in rear. Can I re-valve ICON?

[Ram7081]

I started new topic as I feel its a new subject after recent install. I have a Ram 1500 4x4 crew. I have ICON coil overs up front and had ICON smoothie in the rear. I have SD Truck Springs in rear "1210". The 25% ones. I felt rear was to stiff or was it? Maybe to soft? I put Fox smoothies on rear. To my surprise, when I pushed on Fox they were stiffer than the ICONs but yet the ride is smoother. I assume its in the valving? Even the wife noticed the ride was smoother when the rear went over things compare to front ICONs and old rear ICONs. Now lies the question. Can I re-valve the front ICONs to match the rear Fox or am I left to swap those out and toss more money at this truck? I'd love to save some coin and just re-valve the fronts. Or is the difference I feel come down to one shock is progressive and the other is digressive? Or can re-valving change that?

The question you might ask, what am I feeling I want to re-vale? The front feels bouncy on the highway. Rear is planted and smooth now.

As always, thanks for any feedback this forum brings!

Icons are going feel firmer on the street given their digressive valving. They could be revalved though.
Curious about the bouncy feeling, when does it happen ?

Normal driving on the highway. Don't notice it much around town.
I called a local shop that re-valves. They said they could do it. Making the rebound or something more firmer. He said it would solve it. But, with ICON being digressive it will drive different than the Fox that are progressive.

Forgot to add. He said it was like $200 and change if I brought the shocks in or $500 total if they had to take them off and install them. He said ICON does one free re-valving. But, I'd have to ship them in and wait.

How much psi are you running in your tires? And are they LT or P rated? Your sig says 285/70/17

P rated at 40 psi
Tire max is 50psi if I remember right. So, their not at max.

I'm stumped as to why the thing feels bouncy on the fwy. maybe tire balancing ?
at least valving is not super expensive if that ends up been the problem but you'll need to have another set of struts to hold you by while the CO's are in the shop being serviced. Sorry to hear you didn't have a good experience with your Icons. I know Icons can be firmer than anything else on the street but that firmess can be dialed in with valving. Who's your shop ?

Road force used on balance. Didn't do it before rear shock swap. Bouncy comes from front.
ICON does one free valving. Just talked to him. Went over everything he made it sound like no big deal. So, no cost but to ship them. I'm retired. It can sit while I wait. lol
As for shop, I think I am just going to send them to ICON since I get one free re-valve.
No worries. I have a bad back and tend to feel things more and be more picky. Its probably just me.
