2nd Gen Icon Lift Heights

Ive seen this done for the OME guys. How about we get everyone who has a Icon suspension to list:

Year
Model
Engine
Measurement from Hub to fender (front)
Amount of lift gained
Amount of thread showing on coil overs



Then we can compare and if you want a set amount of height you can use these measurements

 

I will start

Year: 2007
Model: Access Cab
Engine: 4.0
Measurement from Hub to fender (front): 24"
Amount of lift gained: 3.75"
Amount of thread showing on coil overs: 1.5" (on drivers side)

*Edited with completed numbers

 

I have about 1/4" more thread showing on the driver's side.

 

I'll try to do mine today!

 

Sub'd I'm getting the extended travel remote resis soon, so this should give me a good idea. Post pics too, if possible!

 

I would rather not do photos in this. I though this would be a good tool for people adjusting their Icons. Not a photo bomb thread

 

Gotcha, makes sense.

 

Year - 08
Model - Double Cab
Engine - 4.0 V6
Measurement from Hub to fender (front) 22 3/4
Amount of lift gained - 2.5"
Amount of thread showing on coil overs - 1 1/4" (1 3/8" on drivers side)

 

Here's mine, to fack up yer mojo:

2009
Double Cab, Shorty Bed (Heavily Armored)
4.0L

Hub to Fender - 24" in front
Amount of lift gained - 4"? I don't really remember what stock ride height is at this point.
Thread Showing - I have 700lb. King Coils on my Icon C/Os. About .75" showing on passenger side, 1.25" driver side for a level truck.

 

Nice....4" with that little preload? How do the 700 springs ride?

 

A shade stiffer on the road when the truck is unladen. But I have the suspension dialed for off road with ~400lbs in the bed, and under those circumstances they're perfect.

Part of the reason the preload is so little is because King 700lbers are 14" coilsprings vs. Icon's 650lbers at 13.5"....so you have an extra half inch of coilspring in there helping you out.

 

Still. You were able to get 4" of lift. Damn

 

Year: 09
Model: access cab
Engine: 4.0
Measurement from Hub to fender (front): not sure ill check tomorrow
Amount of lift gained: i believe 2.5
Amount of thread showing on coil overs: 1.5
just put them in today, gonna put the UCA's in tomorrow might go up to 1.75 for thread showing but not sure yet.

 

Also worth noting they're extended travel, so with 4" of lift I'm left with 1 to 1.5" of downtravel. This is fine for asphalt and east coast wheeling, but it might not work too well for the go-fast desert guys out west. If I was wheeling there, I'd be running at 2.5" or 3" of lift, because clearance isn't at as much of a premium for what they're doing. It's all about suspension travel.


It might also help that my rear end is like 5.5" of lift between the Dakars w/ AAL and the shackle flip. That would make the front end a bit more sensitive to spring rate.

 

26-34-26!

haha, I will post my stuff tomorrow

 

Great idea ,, been looking for the same thing,,,
Lets all make sure we are talking apples to apples,,,, "measurement from hub to fender",

We are talking vertical measurement up to the fender,, and from center of the hub, right?,,

Just want to make sure I follow suit correctly and so we have reliable info

2010 DCSB, 2.5" icon ext travels up from, Icon uniball UCAs, TSB rears, w/Icon 3leaf pack,, more to follow

You are correct

 

Does anyone have measurements for 3" of lift on a DC?

 

I'm looking to get a 2"-3" suspension lift.

 

I'm right around 2" right now. Sometimes wishing it was higher
