    For you guys that don't know the Icon rears are just rebranded Edelbrock shocks and they BLOW!! the SAW are better man go with the RR though. THose piggy backs won't fit I'm pretty sure.

    Suck it,u shouldn't even be commenting on anything involving offroading lol



    Get the SAWs,icon sucks IMO,they look stock and I haven't seen any race teams run them,and SAW has excellent customer service and have been proven offroad

    Disagree with you on that one. I had SAWS on backorder for more than a couple months, and they always told me, next week, next week, next week... I even got a "itll be in tomorrow." Canceled the order cuz all they did was procrastinate

    Thats cool. I found that customer service is always prestige when you show up to their actual shop. Both Icon and Total Chaos were awesome when I went to their HQ.

    those SAW shocks are not "bolt on"

    the Icons are

    the RR and piggyback are the same shock... RR are easier to mount in tight space cause you can mount the resi where you want it

    all you Icon haters can suck my ass, my shit rocks :D

    Hey their LT shocks are good I'm not going to lie about that lol but those oem RR from them are junk. Edelbrock shocks are crap haha sorry man

    and as long as he get a steam to eye adapter which is only like $8 he can run the SAWs if he has a 3" lift in the rear a 8" will be perfect. and your leafs will max before the shock does.

    THen get an 8" travel shock and buy a steam to eye adapter. Bolt the little adapter in then mount the shock. The truck I work on the most is my buddies 08 and we have switched his shock out like 5 times. It should take 20min for both tops. and you don't have to jack the truck up either.
