Icon 2.0 rear shocks

Do you wheel? Because this Mall Krawling Princess does not, and the bumpiest thing it will hit is a damn speed bump

 

Yes seriously!Pretty pathetic on Icons part but oh well.A couple TW members who i wheel with got there 2.0's about 4 months ago and neither of there shocks came with boots.Forget who they ordered there's from.Your tacoma is coming along real nice Rick!

 

I do, but nowhere near as hard as some guys on here. I have to balance it out because the truck is my daily and I also use it for work so I need to last as long as I can.

 

I keep my stockers just for that reason. Obviously not a long term fix, but a good enough band-aid while I wait for my replacement.

 

Are the rear shocks side specific

 

I don't think so. IIRC, because of the way the shocks get mounted on your axle, the new shocks are essentially mounted at the same angle (in opposite directions- driver's side angled forward, passenger side angled towards the rear). I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but they should go on either side without issue.

 

Nope you are correct as per Icon

 

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this about the shock boots but make damn sure to pull the, down and rinse inside them every time you wash the truck. Shock boots leak and trap crap inside them, I've seen a million times where people will pull them off after a couple of years and find completely pitted shafts and rusted rod ends.

 

I got mine from Wheelers, came with boots. In for the pics!

 

Sweet! looking forward to the afterglow.

 

Are the 2.0s that much better than 1500s to make it worth the money?

 

The back is higher than the front stock. What he is saying is that lifting 3" in the front and 1.5" in the rear will level out the truck.

OP, I ordered the same rear shocks from wheelers and only ONE of mine had a boot. So I'm running with nothing. Be glad you got a pair, lol.

 

That makes sense, thanks

 

Fixed that for you it is all just personal preference I guess

 

Cutting the center pins so the bump stood go back on

 

Bro.

You should have used a drill and a 1/2" bit to drill the bump stops out to fit the uncut center pin.

Make sure you leave enough centering pin in case you need shims later (assuming you left them out).

 

It's all good bro

 

Just about done with the other side. 3 degree shims were installed and all gits perfect. Just torquing and will be putting it down for pics. Rear brake lines are definitely at the max. I have new ones but will do it eventually

 

Interesting.

 

Interesting you sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
