Hanging strong man, no regerts. I've been working from home since Rona season started last March, so I really haven't put many miles on it, but it's handled everything that I've thrown at it just fine. It's a little overkill for my uses truthfully, but I got good pricing on the parts and can live happy with what I paid and the ROI that I got. It's solid for street use and smooths out gravel/dirt roads & farm fields with ease. My only small gripe is the rear end seems to jump around a bit, nothing horrible - but I do plan on adding the Carli TB drop bracket and replace the control arms at some point.
That's awesome. I haven't sold off the idea of goin with icons, honestly everything is overkill in a sense, but ride quality is so worth it. I'm juggling a few ideas, icon is one of them and is the second choice. I'm having a hard time finding something that handles the weight of my front end that isn't custom spec. Add a bumper and winch and that puts most options out of the game. Icon "seems" to be a bit firmer, but my truck is chonky, so that might work to my favor.
Interesting with the rear being chattery. Considering the icons are digressive and the coils are upped in rate im not surprised, especially unloaded. When the time comes some linear shocks would surely help. The Fox rears feel so much better than my old 5100s which acted the same way you describe, and there's no way to tell the valving is different front to rear either contrary to what you'd think.
