    Hello FL members. New member here on the Space Coast. I just bought a 2015 DC TRD OR. I'm looking for a suspension lift and am wondering what the FL crew is running for FL. I really leaning towards either Icon or OME. With the new Icon group buy I'm wondering if now is the time.

    I like the look of 255/85's so that is what I am leaning towards but may just go 285/75 if that is easier.

    So what does the FL crew say? Is the Icon worth the extra money? If so which stage? Also I tow a boat so I need to factor that in. Thanks guys.

    I'm looking to pull the trigger on OME soon. I'm not a suspension expert just heard it rides good for on and offroad. Also, not sure on the tire fit. Prob want to stay with the 75's if you're not wanting to cut and trim.

    If the budget allows, go with a mid travle set up from Icon. Can't go wrong there. I think Dakar rear springs hold weight well.

    If you get icon get it from Andy at got exhaust.com
    He is a vender here. I just priced what I was wanting for an icon setup and he beat 4 other venders prices that I also got quotes from by several hundred dollars. Even beat the quote I got for that icon group buy today by a lot. Anyway just my $.02.
    OME setup is a solid setup for the price aswell I have been running it for about 6 months.

    Lmao yeah I was so pissed cause I ordered my setup from Andy last Thursday and saw that GB today. Just to compare I got a quote for the exact thing I ordered and was glad to know I saved around $300 from him and no group buy.
    Good shit.

    Not sure what ICONs you got, but be certain hit 4 wheel parts and purchase boots for the rears.

    Couple of weeks back I helped install Kings on a friends truck. More money but some real nice stuff also.

    My truck has ICONs on all 4 corners 2.5 front and 2.0 rears. Rezzys on each also. Pulled the sway bar and am running Camburg BJ upper arms.

    I purchased the shorter travel fronts. Bought the long travel spacer to upgrade later. Not sure how I plan to do the rear, another pair of longer ICONs or simply blocks. Without longer shocks the rear made also need straps. Time will tell.

    ICONs are nice, no doubt.

    Which boots do you recommend? Never bought those before. I got the 2.5 front non resi and 2.0 RR rear both extended travel. They should be here in a couple of weeks.
