    I just had Jason install the Icon stage 4 lift and a CMC. Had one minor problem, which was Icons fault. Jason had my front end torn apart and finished installing the UCA's. Went to install the shocks/springs and noticed that one of the shock hats was loose. Upon further inspection, the bolt that secures the shock to the hat was sheared off. The person at Icon who assembled this shock went ahead and shipped this kit knowing it was sheared. Crappy quality control on Icons part.

    I got on the phone to Icon and spoke with Chuck in sales. Sent Chuck photos, and he said the part would ship priority delivery the following day. Jason continued with the install of the leaf springs, rear shocks, the CMC modification, and reinstalling my old springs and shocks.

    Jason stated that this was the first time he has seen an item liked that shipped out to a customer from a manufacturer. Being the awesome person he is, he said that once I get the replacement hat & bolt he would install the shocks at no extra charge.

    I did receive the replacement parts from Icon as promised (thanks Chuck). I texted Jason and asked if he could fit me in that afternoon and he said yes. Got to his shop at 4:30 and an hour later I was on my way.

    Jason knows his stuff and is good guy! Don't hesitate using him for your installs, thanks again Jason.

    Sorry for any PMs that haven't been answered yet, its best to just shoot me a text for quicker response (760)560-7779. Thanks!
    I have a ton of pictures to download but having a tough time trying to get them from my phone to my PC so I can see them better, instead of trying to find them on a tiny phone, as I get older my vision isnt improving for some reason, weird huh?

    Just finished up an Alpine Designs cab mount relocation.
    Boy those factory huge 3rd gen mounts are Huge!! Takes quite a while to get it all cut off and flap disked to clean up the frame before welding the new AD moi t on. But it gives a LOT more space.

    Dobinson's Snorkel install. Those arent too accurate to the template but if you use tape and double check the fitment you can adjust it to work pretty well with some extra time. Came out perfect!

    King 3.0 install plus leafs and UCA, ECGS bushing, etc...Those shocks barely fit!! And in the rear passenger side there is a bit of contact near the upper mount due to it being closer to the frame than the driver side.
    And I also had to re-clock the front coilover hoses to clear the UCAS but thats not a big deal
