Measured specs on the Icons 2.0, part# 216524 are listed in post#16. Stock crew cab 4th gen 1500 rear shocks are 25.50 extended, 16.5 compressed.
Icon 216524 are 27" extended 16 5.8 compressed, so basically 1.5" longer. You'll want to run those shocks with the Icon 1.5 coils

Just wondering if anyone has compiled any data on lower control arms tagged along with these other suspension components?

I was wondering if anyone has any info on the factory 1 inch lift(outdoorsman ,trx4 ext) how is the lift achieved? Longer struts? If so does anyone know the spec? I was looking at getting the 5100 and running at 2.1 I was wondering if I could get the trx4 struts and run a spacer for the same lift but more travel? Hopefully that all makes sense thanks

I'm pretty sure the front lift is achieved by just having a higher seat position on the shock.

If you look at the OE replacement Bilsteins for the 4x4's they have two seat positions on the front strut, you just pick the stock non-TRX4 one or the higher TRX4 position when you install it.

Unrelated, some info about the rear Bilstein shock that is included in the Mopar 2" suspension lift -


Bilstein 33-185569 Specifications:
Extended Length: 29.70"
Compressed Length: 17.91"
Travel: 11.79"
Valving: 255/70

Kurek nailed it. The bilstein 4600 replacement shocks have 2 clip positions.

So the travel doesn't change using a spacer, you just don't change your position in the travel to sacrifice for lift. As long as you use the proper small spacer it will work just fine. I did this on my 6112s. Mammoth (I believe) has a 1.5" spacer. Check my build thread.
