    hi all, quick question for all you folks running these sexy coilovers - are they adjustable height wise while still on the truck or do they need to be taken off like some 'other' brands?? thanks!

    You don't even need to take the tires off. Just jack the front off the ground loosen the hex screw on the locking collar and rotate it with a cutoff screwdriver

    How's the rebuild and corrosion resistance on these? I've been back and forth between an icon stage 3 and a frankensteined Bilstein 6112 setup for my '15, but if these are as far superior as you guys say, I may have to add more frustration to my lift decisions....

    I'm in the mid-Atlantic, where they salt the roads for 40 degree drizzle, which was adding to my reluctance with the icons.

    I'd probably go non-res front and rear, as the majority of my off-roading is easy-moderate trails, farm fields and fire roads.

    I havent had any experience with corrosion resistance on mine since I live in sunny ca but I know icons can come with a coating if asked to resist corrosion I believe.

    From what I've heard in this thread, the ADS ceramic coating is likely superior to the IVD coating.

    Don't mind me... I'm just trying to talk myself into trying them out. :goingcrazy:

    No issues with my rear ADS shocks or Icons up front with the coating. Main thing is preventative maintenance, wash them and hit them with something like fluid film to help stop winter corrosion.

    @STiLL WILL lives right by the coast so his setup has been battling the salt and he swears by them. He's the one who convinced me to go with ADS.

    I guess I'm going to have to give @HeadStrong a list after Christmas.
    Any reason why these shouldn't be run with Camburg BJ UCAs?

    Unnecessary because they changed their manufacturing process, or because it wasn't necessary in the first place? The Google doesn't come up with a whole lot when searched for "Icon Coilover Rust", and I'm sure they're not as bad as Fox, but if ADS is using similar materials, and ceramic coating them, I can only assume they hold up better in corrosive environments. Right?
