    Ran the Icon 2.5's with adjusters for awhile, bought used and never had any issues myself. Had 50k on them and beat the heck out of them. Always heard about the customer service issues and leaking issues, maybe I got lucky.

    Switched to King 2.5 with adjusters. Purchased brand new, but front and rears with 6 months apart. Fronts from SDHQ and Rears from DSM. Blew up every single shock, different occasions, all under 10k miles. After having them rebuilt they've been great for the last 30-40k though. And in my opinion they ride better than the Icons did on and off road.

    The RXT pack is a great option for the price though, massive upgrade over the stock pack with AAL.

    If I were going to do it again, I would get King's custom tuned from Accutune. No experience with ADS or Fox though.

    the stages from icon are more expensive than piecing together your own stuff, you're paying for simplicity but like others have said I would stay away from it.... I think stage 4 is the last one that might be okay if youre really set on on running icon. I run the RXT leaf's and they have been awesome.

    Ive been running Kings for almost 2 years now. They are OK but the fronts still need work even after revalving them once. Ill be switching to Fox or ADS next time.

    Fox, king, ads, icon all have great quality. And they all work great if tuned properly. The problem is no one spends time to tune things and revalve them. I will say after dealing with ads the last few years I do think they have great customer service. And you can call and talk to them about your vehicle and how you use it and hey will ship them with a pseudo custom tune out the box.

    I went twice to drop a load at the lab. First pass was good, but went again just because when else are you allowed to masturbate on public without getting arrested?

    :rofl:

    I never went and dropped a load at the lab. I didnt feel like driving 3 hours to beat it when I could just spend the 3 hours getting out as many loads as I could then just went for it and prayed for the next 3 weeks.
