Icon Vs OME

WOW I put the Icons on after I put a Elite bumper and winch on,now this thing rides like a MACK truck,On the freeway u can here the change rattling in the ash tray and on a wash board road its all over the place,I hope its the springs,If not the bumper and winch are gone back to the stock bumper and OME kit it worked F-N great

 

Ill trade ya.

 

what?

 

You dont want this set up im telling you.

 

Sell em to me cheap ya know you want to....

On a serious note my OME setup rides great (881's). Im hoping the Nitrochargers w/882's and the top plate spacer hold up my bumper, winch and skids. That is when it gets here.

 

If you are wanting to sell them pm me with a price.

 

Im going to put the OME/882 in tomorrow and see how it rides,I only had the bumper on and it droped it a 1/4" I guess thats better then my MACK TACO

 

Glade you liked it

 

I will be able to get the ICONs to work,Chg spings and valving,I have way to much preload on the spings,They dont have a sping rate on them.

 

How much rake did you have with the OME setup and bumper with winch installed?

 

I heard the 882s are 500lb and I dont know what the Icons are,they told me it was for a 150lb extra,Ive raced enough off road cars in my day and its way off (to much rebound)I have to much preload in the springs and thats F-N with the rebound,I could lower the Nit presure to slow down the rebound but these shocks dont have shrater valves,they have some sort of needle valve and my nit bottles wont work,

 

OME setup with Nitros and 882's. I have the ARB bumper and winch and all is fine and ride is great. Take a look at my build and you will see some pics with the 881's and 882's, also have the Dakar spring pack in the rear with Nitros. The 881's were not near heavy enough so I had to go with the 882's. Rides like a cadi.

 

Billy 5100s and eibach coils here and love it with my elite bumper. Ride is actually smoother

Call DSM, they can help find the right coilover with the right valving and spring rate

 

I looked up Icon and there about 25miles from me so they should be able to help me tune then in for what I want,Or I will take them to king they helped me with my foxes on my Alumacraft prerunner,

 

Digressive shocks do that...did you not know this ahead of time?

 

No and ive never heard of a digressive shock,It should have dampning and rebound valving with nit preasure maybe some internal bypass

 

Research then. It's well known Icon valves digressively, and it's well known what digressive valving does on pavement.

 

Jandrew first off thanks,this guy is saying it should be better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMnZTodTCZ0 again Im putting my money on to much preload on the coil spring

 

i think the standard spring rate on the icon 2.5's is #650.

 

Just got off the phone with one of the shock Tecs at Icon,he told me to get a 700lb 14" spring
