    I talked to Marie at headstrong off-road a few days ago and she said that they don't put 886 is on the bilsteins.. It's not even an option on the website if you check the drop down

    Icons seem like the best bet right now. How long would I be able to go before having to get them serviced if I'm using them once or twice a month for wheeling?

    And does anybody know if the icon 2.0 rear shocks will work with the All-Pro standard to leave pack? I haven't gotten any responses

    Or would I be better off using the 1.5 AAL that comes with the kit? I'm wondering if that will get me to the 3 inches of lift that I want

    You need at least a 9.5" travel shock with the All-Pro standard pack. The Icon 2.0 rears have about 10" of travel and should work fine. Let us know if we can help you with either... we sell both and offer a TW discount.

    There you go sounds like it will work. I just hate putting things together where associated parts just meet the minimum requirements. As an Engineer for a manufacturing plant that doesn't usually work out in the long run. If Icon says 1.5" of lift I wouldn't push my luck. Why wouldn't you just wait a couple more weeks for a black Friday deal that Demello just confirmed about. You can get the same Icon Stage 2 kit that I got which comes with the leafs for around the same price as the kit you posted and have it done right.

    OP just so you know its not the travel you want to look at, its the extended and collapse length of the shock. Those that select a shock based on travel, well that just doesn't make sense at all.
