    Thanks For all the Help. That was some good info. lol.
    Maybe I'll rephrase the Title and or question.

    What do you all think of this setup with the King and Icon Products? Should i just stick to one or does combining really doesn't matter?

    Hmm...first off I'd say you got a lot of good info in the 61 minutes you let the first post sit before you got bored. It's a great set up as the are all great products. You can't go wrong with either product and it makes no difference if you mix up brands.....hell there's guys on here running Icon Shocks with King coils.

    Unless your brand loyal it doesn't matter. And unless you plan on pushing the truck to its limit daily you could choose the cheaper route and be perfectly fine. I don't believe either brand offers any extreme improvements versus the other.

    Before you buy, check the shock rebuild costs from King and Icon. Won't matter much now, but if you want to sell them someday, or just rebuild them, it's something to think about.

    Another thing that might matter is that kings are progressive shocks and icons are digressive. All depends on how you run your truck really. I see your getting billet UCA's, I'm curious on how they do :)

    Sway Away coilovers with Eibach springs coupled with Camburg UCA's, Total Chaos or Dirt King's nets you the most travel offered by our stock setups before the physical limitations of the LCA's stop additional travel that could otherwise be had.

    The rear AAL is not a problem, pick what you want and pick your color, but for the front I say go red. (Sway Away) one of the best coilovers I have ever owned.
