    Ive got no sway bar and 700lb springs. But I also have a full plate bumper, winch, IFS and mid skids. Though I had 650 springs with the bypasses and still had some pretty decent body roll. The 700lb springs took care of that. The bypasses really showed their stuff at speed in the desert. That is the only time I noticed a difference between having bypasses and not having them.

    Without straps you will bend uca to spindle bolts because the will bind on droop. I bent my first set without them and now won't risk it being LT.

    Just parts? Icon or DSM should have them and can ship Monday. DSM can rebuild for you with minimal shipping. If that doesn't work out for you I have a coil bucket adapter in stock I can ship out.

    Just the top plates. Was planning to call DSM first thing in the morning but wasn't sure if anyone stocked these.

    Trying to make a trip this Thursday, and already have everything for a rebuild so I just need to get up and running. Need to find a socket for that "star" bolt they use too.

    1/2" 12 point socket. I have a specific socket for this but any 1/2" 12 point will do.

    seeing that its ICON, id say fairly easily.

    Most likely bottomed out and the energy has to go somewhere, straight to the weakest link.

    Don't know. Haven't had them out in a few months and can't remember any hard hits that would have caused it. :notsure:

    Same happened to me. You can call Icon directly and get them. Thankfully they are a 20 minute drive for me so I just swung by and picked them up.
