Guidance needed....

I'm thinking about getting this system from Wheelers and would like any constructive feedback. I'm wanting to do this right the 1st time. Thanks in advance.

 

In my honest opinion, I wouldn't spend that much on an aftermarket lift kit, I personally feel that you're better off buying a tx baja/trdpro suspension lift for a little bit less than half this cost... just my opinion tho and some food for thought.

 

The icons will be 100x better than any stock setup if you're really using the truck.

Why don't you tell everyone how you plan to use the truck if you want some quality feedback. Some people would be completely happy with bilstein shocks and an add a leaf, others wouldn't be happy with anything less than a long travel kit. It completely depends on your use and expectations.

 

buy it!!!!!

 

I went with the Stage 4 and have NO regrets. If you have the $cratch, it's a great investment.

 

Well I'm definitely going to "use" the truck. My last truck was a '94 Yota w/8" of lift, full Detroit in the rear and a easy locker up front. I'm wanting to build a more capable truck this time, and plan on going with ARB's front and rear. It'll be used for weekends of 4wheeling, including river crossings so I'll be dealing with deep water and pea gravel. But during the week it'll be my DD.

 

I think you'll be very happy with this setup then. PM me if you want any more info, I wheel quite a bit in mountainous terrain here in VA and am very happy wit my setup. My rig is a daily driver too, so I'm with you there.

 

Go for it. I went with camburg ball joint UCA's and remote resi front/rear. Mine is also a DD/weekend wheeler and it is the perfect set-up for what I wanted. In my opinion you can't go wrong with that set up.

 

Thanks guys!!! I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on this. Will I have to get aftermarket rims in order for this to work?

 

Negative, you can run stock no problems.

 

^^^^^ what he said. But you will have to run spacers if you go with a 275/285 tire, especially an MT.

 

I run 275/70/17 on stock wheels no spacers no rub

 

Hey OZ-T, don't you run AT's? I know that with stock wheels and 275/285 MTs Trail Graps/MTR's/KM2's etc they will rub the UCA's without spacers.

 

yes , Hankook ATm

I wasn't aware that those tires you listed came in 275/70/17

 

Yes the Nitto Trail Graps come in a 275/70R18". Goodyear wrangler MTR has 275/70R17 and 275/65R18 as an example. these are all popular tires I was originally looking at before I bought my 285/65R18 Trail Graps.

 

Why is the linked version better than the regular icon stage 3? It's more expensive than from icon's site.

 

It comes with rear OME springs, bushings and u bolts, carrier bearing drop.


Ps for another $1200 you can have 2.5s with CDC all around. The 6.0me. Would hate for you to regret not having it later....

 

Great info guys and good point about the 6.ome...!!!

 

And that is worth the price difference? Good to know, thanks.

 

Would it be possible to run a 16" wheel with proper backspacing?
