    You can just push on the LCA and the whole assembly should come right out. That's what I did with my Icon's and they are extended travels.

    I removed the away bar end links....one side still wouldn't come out. Wound up "threading" the coilover out & in. While maneuving ting the lca. Have fun, don't give up & have a cold beer waiting when you're done!!!

    You should watch the video in this thread and using the LCA and a floor jack as a spring compressor. 6 bolts/nuts and you are sliding the shock out of the top hat and the coil will not be compressed anymore. So easy!
