    The icons are great up front an still waiting to get the smoothies installed. But the current rears are king an phenomenal. This has been the best riding setup I’ve had so far.

    Ive had Icons for a few yrs now and really like em.

    I sold my fiberglass canopy a couple weeks ago. I've had it on there basically since the truck was brand new and I forgot how much better the truck drives without it

    This is my 2nd set of icons the first rode stiff with a stock front end but this pair I’m liking better than the king coilovers.
    That’s awesome it’s riding better I want a top but use the bed to much for bigger stuff to have one.
    they have already been spoken for.
