    Bought some Icon resies back in November during a Black Friday sale and saved over $100.

    Problem was that the vendor wasn't prepared for how many orders they got and then wouldn't give me an update on what was going one.

    Gave them a call today and come to find out they were sitting at the warehouse with a red tag on them, so they wouldn't ship them because they didn't know why they had a red tag....

    How are you liking the bilsteins with the eibachs? I have that same setup and its pretty stiff. Did you notice much difference in ride quality and height after the bumper?

    It's stiff, but I don't mind it.

    It changed slightly with the bumper, but not much.

    Mine seems to do better at higher speed. Low speed bumps just about send me through the roof

    I like it at high speeds as well, but every time I drive in or off base hitting those speed bumps at 15mph is rough haha

    Yeah haha. I guess that's just the way it is with that suspension. Brutal. Looks like coilovers are in my future

    Pretty much haha

    I'll probably go 600lb coils whenever I get some Icon coilovers and just take as much preload out as I can while maintaining lift.

    My Taco has a saggy butt now... I got a shell and all my tools and stuff are in it. It's not bad, but once the leaves wear in a bit... gonna be a saggy ass hoe.

    Yeah, the weight of a full toolbox, c02 setup, and a hi-lift plus 3 months of off roading and flexing all the time destroyed my stock leafs and add-a-leaf haha

    I probably will.

    I told myself that I was going to get it done before get a bed rack or RTT or anything so the bed it good to go for packing stuff all the time. I hate the plastic bed liner. I gouge it all the time haha

    Just have to wait until I go to work Monday to see what days I have off. Then I'll call and get a quote...
