    Just Bought My Icon Model #57805 Remote Resi 2.5 Rear Shocks For $490.00 MaddaFackas ! ! ! !

    Currently running Factory 3 Leaf with Deaver 1.5" AAL with Factory TRD Rear Shock.
    I am planning on throwing these Icons on as soon as I get them ! ! !
    The question I have is would a 3 Leaf AAL Pack + Reusing the factory Over Load Leaf give me a higher stance than my current single leaf 1.5" AAL ? ? ?

    I post a pic of what the stance currently is now as soon as I can get to my phone . . . But I'm Pretty Happy I Scored Such A Deal From Icon Themselves On The Scratch And Dent Sale ! ! !

    Thank you!

    No. They are the perfect offset for the FJ wheels. I am running spacers on the rear because I want all 4 wheels to "stick out" the same but it's not necessary.

    You will gain the 1/2" or so of height that is the thickness of the overload. So in either case if you add the overload it should add 1/2" in height. Not sure what the 3 leaf aal pack is supposed to give you.
    Damn you frickin scored big time man!! I'm waiting on my custom length (30"/18") Icon 2.0 RR. should be getting my shipping notice any day now.

    Thanks for your response ! I will post a pic soon and let me know what you guys think, I'm told the nitro charge in the Icons will add a 1/2" to 1" to the height as well but can't confirm just yet . . . But damn I do love everything about the Maxtrac Spindles from how it rides with just my TRD Coil Overs to how the stance looks, just feels and looks right! Wish Toyota would have equipped it like this from the Factory . . .

    You can keep all of it, you'll just be higher than 4" in the front. If your at 0 now it will be like 5.6"
    Then you'll also need more in the rear to stay level.

    Up Front = Maxtrac Spindles + DSM UCAs + TRD Coil Overs
    In BAck = Factory 3+1 Over Load Leaf Pack + Deaver 1.5" AAL

    if you're planning on using something like this that says 1.5'' with your overload VS the single 1.5'' AAL with your overload, I would say they would be the same

    May sound dumb.but what would need to be done to the front to achieve 5".im not sure what the fronts set at as far as which notch it's on.I payed to have everything installed..in the rear I'm assuming a 2" leaf pack would do the job?

    I agree. I mean the 1.5" that that 3 leaf pack is supposed to give is probably mostly due to the thickness of that 3 leaf pack (probably like an inch of it). Also, the 1.5" Deaver aal that you have now is prob more like 2" then 1.5" anyways. At least that was the case with mine and many others as well. I have a Deaver aal and it actually gave me 2". In fact the description from Headstrong and Toytec where I got mine it even says 1.5"-2"(1.5" for tundras) right here,

    "Rear ToyTec add a leaf for '05-UP Tacoma and 2000 - 2006 Tundra

    1 1/2 to 2" lift
    Fits both standard 3 leaf and "TSB" or 4 leaf springs.
    This is a long add-a-leaf for the best ride
    Fitted with anti friction pads to eliminate noise
    includes spring center pins
    Sold and priced per pair"


    You would just need to be at the .85 notch and you should be at 5" up front. As for the rear I think with the aal and a 1" block you would be good to go.


    Just my .02

    Didn't you say you have Eibach coils?
    Eibach coils alone give you 1.6" & Maxtracs are 4".
    So with 5100's set at 0, Eibachs & Maxtracs you will be at 5.6"

    Now that depends on what the guys that did the work set your shocks at.
    If they're set at .85 then you have about 2.5" right now.
    33's won't look too bad. I have 285's which is a tad smaller than 33 but close enough to be considered a 33. I still want larger tires though.:D

    It doesn't look bad the way it sits to me.
    It may be the pic but the rear looks a bit higher than the front, not much though.
