    hey guys i was reading in the suspension forum that the icon rear resi shocks are to short for a 05+ model running a dakar leaf pack

    was wandering if the vs 2.0 mono tube shock works good with dakars on a 03 just put my whole lift kit on and waiting on my rear shocks from icon....

    idk about icons customer service i ordered a set like 3 weeks ago thew a shop where im at and they wont let the shop manager know where they are if they shipped if they built them yet. cant get an anwser kind of fustrating waiting so long for the shocks

    now hoping they actually work okay with my lift???
    any help would be appreciated

    DSM's website says the Icon 2.0 rear shocks need to be built to work with Dakars...as far as I can tell, it has 9.5 inches of travel and the Dakars need 10.5?
