    Hi all-

    Looking to add a truckvault, bed rack, aluminum bumper & aluminum skid to my 2015 DCSB V6 4wd while giving it a 2-2.5" lift and retaining better on & off road performance. Based on reading up here, I've come to the conclusion that installing the ICON Stage 1 suspension with a pair of OME Dakar leafs in the rear would be my best bet for this setup. Figure 400-450lbs of added weight in the rear and 100-150lbs of added weight in the front. I'll also be replacing the UCA's with Camburgs and the tires with 265/70/17's.

    Is there anything I need to look at ordering besides the ICON sway bar relocation kit? Any considerations I might not have thought of yet?

    The endstate I'm looking for is a suspension system for a daily driver that's about 500lbs heavier, offers a little more clearance & travel for occasional off road driving, and doesn't sacrifice anything on road.

    400-450 in the rear is quite a bit, you might need the Dakar AAL,
    $82 D29XL Leaf Spring
    D29XL, or maybe better off with All Pro Expedition leaf springs. I have a topper, sleeping platform, and tools and I'd estimate I'm at 250-300lbs and the dakars are great.

    Also, pretty sure stage one comes with the sway bar relocation bracket.
