Icon shock side specific?

My icons were labeled driver and passenger in yellow markings

 

got the fromt shocks on and went for a ride and i hear a clunking in the front. Sounds like metal hitting metal. I can see that the sway bar is hitting the larger coil. I didnt even think to install the sway bar relocation kit. Its getting late so ill deal with it tomorrow. Anyone have any clear instructions on how to install the sway bar relocation kit? Icons instructions suck.

 

This. They are side specific, believe it's the contours of the tophat.

I used this for the most part.


and for adjustment.


Also this.

Stage four shouldn't be much different as far as install except you are not mounting resi's obviously.

My suggestion would be to read/watch all you can before adjusting or driving any more. Then re-read while you are working. Hope this helps, good luck and enjoy your investment.

 

Damn, I thought the icon instructions worked great! Then again, I've installed quite a few coilovers on these trucks.

 

They are the same. They don't account for taco-lean. You have to crank one a few times around depending how bad your taco-lean is.

 

They're not side specific. Just make sure side
Of the top hat that has a notch in it faces outward. Underneath it has a plug for the hose for shocks with remote reservoir, just make sure that faces outward. The spacer on the bottom shock mount needs to face towards the front of the vehicle. But you can actually take the spacer out and the shocks are interchangeable. Someone mentioned that their shock has driver and passenger on it and is side specific and the reason for that is because it probably has a remote resevoir which my shocks doesnt have. For the top hat i dont think theres a specific countour. I think you just line the bolts up and youre good to go. But someone correct me on it if im wrong. And thank you to everyone that provided me with the info!

 

Yes theyre interchangeable. Just make sure the side of the top hat with the notch in it is facing outward and the spacer that sticks out on the bottom shock mount faces forward

 

Probably right, I remember mine being labeled. Made it easy.

 

Jack the front end up. Remove front tires. Disconnect left and right sway bar end links (17mm). Remove 4 bolts (14mm?) securing sway bar to frame. Install sway bar relocation blocks with 2 Icon supplied bolts each side. Relocation block orientation will be whichever way that moves the sway bar forward towards the front of the truck. I think these are able to be installed backwards. Attach sway bar to relocation blocks with Icon supplied hardware (9/16?). Reconnect sway bar end like to spindle. Reinstall tires (lug nut torque 83ft/lbs). Lower to the ground and enjoy!

 

I know, I read the directions and installed them correctly.

 

just take the swaybar out. much better

 

Im just stating it for whoever that runs into the same problem as me can review this thread.

 

Thanks!
