    Just got mine and wanna know how many threads people have showing with a 2-1/2" or 3" lift. They're the 600# springs and I don't have any real weight up front like a bumper.

    3" will ride like shit too much pre load and your going to need to deal with the needle bearing. Driver side will need a few more turns to level it out but you will want to crank them down as little as possible so you can keep up travel

    I can live with 2-1/2 inches up front. I'm currently set at 2.25" with 885's, just looking for a touch more. I have no howl from the needle bearing after being lifted for a year so hopefully I'll be good there. Yes they are 14" coils.

    I would have to look at where I set mine. I adjusted them down about .75". I am showing around 1" of threads similar to the Icon photo. I have 650lb coils though as I planned to add some armor, etc but was not set on 700lb due to not getting it all in the near term. I like where its at height wise but have been debating on cranking them back up slightly. My front is a bit higher than my Dakar/King setup in the rear. I may also add the Dakar AAL in the future. Not exactly but feel free to look at my Build thread for where I am set. Need to measure my height.

    The coils in the picture are 600# 14" King. The shocks shouldn't be much different as far as coil positioning.
