    You can't adjust TC's on the truck, these appear to have a similar bung to the Icon's which allows you to adjust them while fully installed.

    So I am trying to understand how the ICON'S are adjustable on the truck. Are you refering to the heim or the spacers?

    The heims are adjustable. You need to loosed 4 screws. The TCs you have to pull the UCA bolt

    So the heim is not threaded in to the UCA? Thats interesting. I will have to read some more on that design.

    Edit - so do they relay on simply on pinch or are there grooves in the arm to hold the heim in? Can't tell from the pics. I see though that you cannot adjust the arm forward with the spacers though. I do like that about the Rokmen design.

    If you look at the photo below you can see that the control uses a special bung that inserts into the arm and the pinch bolts secure it in place. The heim floats in the bung and can be adjusted by rotating the collar next to the heim.

    Gotcha! Thank you for the explanation. That also explains the $1300+ price point as well. That is some engineering there.

    It was a pain to align my traditional heimed uppers the first time but since it's a one and done deal, it's no big deal for me. Sure I wouldnt mind some billet bling, but damn they're steep $.

    So far I have been very impressed with the Rokmen arms. Adjusted the heims out once. Set the spacers up originally in the middle and then moved the arms forward to help get the tire away from the firewall. Solid design and function. No complaints.
