    Good job Sonny, I think i am going to send you my icon rear shocks, too damn stiff and feels like something is not right. Glad to hear you got your shocks rebuilt know we can get that pine valley run going.

    talked to Sonny about my rear icon's and told me to call Icon, well i did and they said they can't do it because they don't have the tools because they are made by edelbrock, last time I buy anything from Icon, going to put the 5100's back on and see how they feel.

    LMAO!!!! I figured as much. Give Leepers a call and see what they can do. They used to make the shocks for Icon, before Icon screwed them.

    Steve, good to see it worked out. yeah hope everyone reads this. It doesnt cost much to get a rebuild done. And its a good practice to get used shocks rebuilt...and you'll still come in way under the price of new ones ( if you got a good deal)
