    1.2 is the standard and .8" is the ET length for that spacer.

    Sweet. Here is my set up then.


    Front:
    Icon S2 Modular Suspension System
    Icon 2.5" RR Coilovers with 650 lb Springs
    Icon Omega Triple Bypass RR Secondary Shock
    Icon Tubular UCAs
    Icon LCA Skid Plate (Mounting Point for Secondary Shock)
    Spindle Gussets

    Rear:
    Icon Omega Triple Bypass RR Shocks
    Icon Hydraulic Bumpstops
    ToyTec 2.5" SuperFlex HD Coils

    I'm planning on replacing the LCAs with TC LCAs down the line so the second shock isn't mounted to a skid. Also planning to replace Tubular UCAs with Icon Billet UCAs. Will eventually swap out my trailing arms and upper links with Icon Billet Hardware as well.

    Do the dual shock Chris! Are you deciding between LT and dual shocks?

    if it weren't for me going back to school and not making any money any more, a similar dual shock set up would probably already be purchased for me, as well as bypasses in the rear......gimme 12 months to get my sh*t together and i'll probably be running something like this

    Yeah, jealously is a bitter bitch :D You have a sick set up for sure!

    That decision is far off in the distance. I have many other things to waste my money on beforehand.....

    This helps a bunch! I have seen these beforeand they will be easy to find. Thank you!

    Dude. Dual shocks are awesome! Totally transform the truck from a singular shock up front isn't that right @Airdog ?!

    Putting secondaries on was just as big as the jump from stock to icon/king/fox coilovers. And we all know how bypass tubes pull bitches at the mall!

    I went smoothies as my secondaries, but I agree. The jump from one to two shocks was a dramatic difference. It was a whole new truck while wheeling.

    Build you some secondaries using smoothies and valve them to your liking. That's what I did. Remember. One is the coil carrier with lighter valving, while the other handles the load. Get you some TC hoops and get them burned on. You'll be in for a real treat.

    i'll be getting my fabrication tools back to me in another 2 months, so 5 trucks worth of sliders and bumpers waiting on me are first, then me.....for sure skids, realizing i drive too fast, so a cage is in my mind, and then upgrading suspension to adding secondaries and swapping the rears to bypasses. all depending on the monies since i a back in school and making less than 1/3 of what i used to

    I drive too fast also. An engine cage would be the most ideal for me, but around here that takes a lot of down time for me not to mention money. Patience is what we need. Lol.
