ICON going on!

Already have the rear 2.0 resi's and the 3 leaf progressive leaf pack. Just waiting on the extended travel 2.5 Icon fronts and camburgs to come in.

 

Remove your sway-bar and shed some kilograms

 

Truth

 

OP, any vib issues so far?

 

He did not install a sub-frame style lift kit so the drive line angle would be the same as stock. This type of lift on an IFS would not change the position of it at all. Are you meaning the CV angles by chance?

 

It does say he used a 3 leaf AAL pack in the first post.

 

Correct but my quoted post said "front drive line" or did I miss something?

 

All right I mis-read his post. Surely he means the CV angles.

 

I was assuming CV joint as well. Either way I will try to get a pick tonight. I do have some driveline vibe but talked with YotaDan (Thanks for the help) and it may be from the additional lift from the overloads being installed. I will remove them and see if the vibe is still there.

 

Icon recommends in the directions to remove the overload leaf. So nobody has answered what the positives and negatives are for removing the sway bars.

 

There's plenty of lengthy swaybar removal pros vs cons threads. Give it a search

 

Just to put in my .02 from personal experience, when I first installed my Icons I took off the sway bar as well. However, I'm running stock UCAs so my caster angle is less than ideal so freeway driving is a bit sketchy as is, and without the sway bar it was even worse. Especially when braking while turning. Now if I had aftermarket UCAs and correct caster angles I'm sure running without the sway bar would be better.

 

Thanks man.

 

Correct, my fault, I forgot about that stubby little driveline in there CVs are what I am most concerned with on getting a full 3" of lift out of the front.

 

True true true

 

So true!!!!! How high do you have your front lifted? Your LCU's look like they are more of an angle than mine

 

Reading this thread has been most helpful for your thoughts.

I have a 2006 and recently installed Icon reservoir shocks & billet UCAs.

Now it's time for the rear. When I first got the truck I went the inexpensive (cheap) way and put a 1", or maybe it's a 1.5" block in the rear. Now it's time to fix that mistake.

I already have Bilstein 5100s in the back, and intend on removing the blocks. My issue is with the existing rear springs and what to do. A few years ago I had the Toyota TSB 4 leaf springs installed. Now, I'm planning to add a 3 leaf Icon AAL package and have to decide whether or not to remove the short leaf on the 4 leaf TSB spring pack. Am I to assume this 30" long bottom leaf is actually an overload leaf and it comes off?

Thanks for the advice. John

 

Yes that is correct, the short thick leaf on the bottom is the overload and is not necessary with the 3 leaf AAL. I could install a degree shim to correct my driveline angle or remove my overload. I will likely be removing my overload this weekend to correct the vibe. I highly recommend the ICON 2.0 remote Res also if you are looking at replacing your rear shocks.

 

Here is my CV angle for the front sorry it took so long.

That doesn't look bad at all. Or is that just me?
