    Icon,

    A few questions regarding your Ext. Travel Coilovers (58735's), and rear 2.5's (57805's). Currently I have the Stage 5 Kit (Billet UCA's), and currently looking for LCA's.

    1.) With the front coilovers, I have added an additional preload (2" lift) to get more clearance on the front end. I have noticed that the ride is stiffer, mainly guessing due to the added preload on them. What are the ways to get the additional clearance with these while still keeping the 'factory setting' in which they came? Currently have 285/70/17 and do not want to change tire size.

    2.) I am also looking to get a new leaf pack (ALLPRO 4505T-AP-3-PR/DAKAR CS047R/DEAVER U402). Will the 57805's work with these packs without gaining any additional lift? I have heard they will and they will not?

    Thanks for the help and great products I've received so far.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Hey Paul,

    You're probably best off talking to a shop/calling Icon as they don't necessarily follow this forum (as you've found). The stiffer ride can likely be associated to SOME of the preload, yes, but the springs on the Icon coil overs are also stiffer in general. They work great for an aftermarket(heavier) bumper though.

    I've got no input on the springs, sorry mate!
