do you have icons in the front?

 

Whhaattt. Maybe for the front. I almost went midtravel for around $1800. Kinda wish i did because it seems like i don't have much travel, i haven't pushed it very hard yet though

 

I've got 885's,think i might have to get 886's front end dropped a little with the extra weight.

 

Gatta pay to play!

 

Icon extended travel
Tc uca
Icon 2.0 rear shocks
Dakar leaf pack .
Ubolt flip

Ill let you price it out .

 

I was thinking under three due to uca, cv angle and everything else that will be an issue

 

You have roughly the same travel range as stock. What you lost in down travel, you gained in up travel.

 

Good idea . Now that I have the bumper/winch combo my front dropped a 1.5" .
I may upgrade the front coil but not sure yet . I need to take it Offroad and see how it does.

 

I read somewhere that the compressed length of nitrochargers is like 1/2 less than stock, so in theory 1/2 top plate spacers will not hurt your uptravel and possible help add some downtravel if you have aftermarket UCAs. Does this make any sense?

 

Ya i know its just hard to get full uptravel because the suspension is stiffer

 

Unless you want to do a drop bracket lift, you sort of need to stay under 3". Any particular number in mind, like full 3", 2", etc? If you stay lower, you can avoid the extra cost of the UCAs, just depends on how much height you want to gain.

 

I would be happy with 2

 

My guess is $2600. What is the spring rate on your coils?

 

Keep in mind Evan also got a replacement leaf pack. An AAL would be much less expensive.

 

Ya I also have to check on the toyota leafs cause we looked the other day and I had three not four. I will check at my next free oil change

 

Get a set of 5100s and a aal . Done and cheap . And better then stock.

650

 

Yeah, a full OME kit with AAL from toytec is $735 before shipping. Adding dakars is + $469

 

Ya I know alot of people have done the 5100. I cranked on the torsion bars of my GMC and it gave a shit ride, alot of rebound. and was thinking that preloading the springs would do the same

 

It would be noticable stiffer, especially since you have progressive coils up front.

I'd go with either OME shocks and 5100s up front with Eibach or 884 coils, for the rear, check out the Wheelers 3-leaf progressive HD version if you can't get the TSB leaf spring.

 

Wow and it dropped that much? Doesnt someone make a 700lb spring that is longer that works with icons? Was the ride pretty stiff before the added weight? Sorry for all the questions, i might want to switch to icons, or a nice coilover like kings or foxes in the future
