    I have read that the kings are limited to 2" of lift.

    They are really intended for LT setups where you get more lift with less shock length.

    I went with the Icons because Wheelers gives you a smokin discount when you order icons and UCAs at the same time. Otherwise I would have went foxes to match the rear.

    I didnt like the options i had for Icon rears at the time. Either their way expensive 2.5" piggy backs or their relabeled monotubes. I wanted somethign in the middle and the foxes were perfect. 2" with piggy back resivoir. 1" more travel and half the price of the icons. Icon now has a rebuildable monotube i believe that is not just a rebranded shock. might be a decent option between, but i still think the foxes are the best option for the rear.

    It clears 285's fine. I didn't take measurements. Whether it got 2 or 2.5" of lift didn't matter to me

    The foxes will come with sway relocates, but I'm not running a front sway bar. I do still have the rear until i get it strapped.

    The all pro lower links are garbage. Get toyoutfitters. I have my front coilovers pretty much maxed... maybe 3 1/4" of lift and the all-pro 3.5" rear spring.

    Someone has a pretty good deal on a full Fox setup, but i forget who. I will have do do some research. I had to do a lot more research than most because i live in CA. Most the dealers are in CA and I have to pay tax if i order from them, so I searched long and hard to find places outside of CA to order my stuff from.

    Its really not THAT bad, but i am running stiff suspension, lots of lift and MT tires, so ... squishy it is not. I really dont give a shit about ride. I am in it for the offroad performance. If i wanted it to "ride nice" i would have left it stock or bought a caddy.

    Yeah, thats what i just found.

    As for the CV angles, they are pretty bad. I took out my Diff drop because I didnt want to mess with modifying my skids, but i fully plan to have to replace CV boots every couple years.
