    Yeah overall my lift rides great. After I put in the rear Icons, my truck feels a bit smoother over bumps and not quite as harsh as the factory shocks. The biggest change was with the Icons and the TC UCA's in the front, after I installed them, the truck felt a lot more solid in turns and kinda felt like it turned on rails. Now if I could just get rid of my squeaky UCA on the passenger side, I would be all set.

    I ordered them from Outlaw Offroad, not so sure I would recommend them. They never returned my emails or phone messages and never told me the shocks were backordered. I finally phoned Icon themselves and was told from them that they were backordered.
    I do have a very small vibration when I am just taking off, from about 5-10mph. I'm going to order the carrier drop spacer to try to fix it.

    Agreed about Outlaw Offroad. They say on their site they will notify you within 72 hours if your order has any backorder stuff. After a week I called and they told me Id have them within a couple of days. Then I find out they are backordered at about the 3 week mark. I finally received the rears on about the month mark. Then today (5 week mark) I finally receive the fronts but the AAL that I canceled today was still on back order. I'm not mad at Icon because it wasn't their job to tell me about the back order.

    Yeah, Icon has been very helpful every time I phone in to them. No problems with them. Its just the poor customer service from Outlaw Offroad. I spent a lot of money with them and they just ignored me after they got my money and never informed me that the items were back ordered.

    whats the difference between the rear res fox shocks and rear res. icon shocks, will they result in pretty much the same ride? How do they compare to billy 5100, i have the ome N182s in back and don't want to waste money getting an icon/fox rear res shock when it won't change much at all.
