Icon ET coilovers and 33s/ BS / Daily red romper build thread**

YEAH BUDDY!!!

 

33s are the way to go my man ... never going back

 

Btw @NightProwler you rub frame at full lock or turned and over bumps ?

 

For sure. Lol.

 

No frame rub. And no more pinch weld rubbing with my new 3" lift. But when I had 2" lift before with the 33's, I would still rub on pinch weld area turning in reverse, or when compressed and turning forward. But I also had 15x10's (with 1/4 spacers).

 

Hmm yea getting after the pinch weld tomrorow morning that's about the only place it seemed to rub for now. But it looked like there was marks on my frame from driving around not sure though. I didn't rub at full lock cycling the steering on flat ground. I went with the .75 spacers and they worked great!

 

@NightProwler how high off the ground are you ground to fender wise in the front ...im around 40"

 

I'll have to remeasure as I'm sure my Eibachs have settled, only a tiny bit I bet, lol but last I measured it was 39". So you're probably a tad higher than 3" lift rn... That seems pretty high. Ha. Even for coilovers.. You'll have to let me know how she rides! I considered going c/o's. But Idk.. Not really a fan, for my needs anyways.

 

Yea dude I'm pretty fucking high the max height was like 2.3 and I'm right at 2 inches of thread. That lift shackle I put in the back is badass though! And simple

 

Truck looks awesome man. I like the color matching too!

 

The ride seems so stiff just went a couple miles to the store... haven't trimmed pinch weld yet only place I'm rubbing so far...besides maybe a little on the frame. I think the rear shocks are bottoming out from the 2" shackle not sure Though.. anybody else running icon coils at 2 inches of exposed thread ??

 

Maybe I cranked em too much... just need a better rear setup. Is that why it's so stiff?? Stock leafs and stock shocks

(Also just picked up a flow master 40 for like 40 bucks)

 

I have mine set at 2.125" of exposed threads on the passenger's side and 2.25" on the driver's side. I'm only running 265/75/16's though. I also have Icon 2.0 smooth body rear shocks that are good for 0-3" and a 1.5" AAL. I had my fronts re valved at @Downsouth Motorsports and had them change the low speed valving so it's a lot softer. Well worth it IMO. At higher speeds the ride was fine and now the ride is fine at high & low speeds. Very happy now!

 

Hmm some rear shocks might be my next investment...how do you like the icons??

 

They're the non resis. But I couldn't pass them up. I got them in a group buy on here from off road warehouse and saved $75. They mounted right up to the stock location and ride and handle just fine. I eventually want to do a shock re location and I should've got a taller shock w/ more travel but at the time didn't have the shock re location idea in my head yet. No complaints here. I also have a Flowmaster 40 on my 3.4 Tacoma DC. I love the sound!

 

Nice! Yea might go with those... ride just feels stiff right now. The front is okay I see a ton of people run them with 2" of thread .

 

Give it a week or two and they should settle. But I still had a stiff ride after a month. So that's why I had them re valved. They're usually generically valved straight from Icon to the vendor off the shelf unless asked otherwise. Good luck man!

 

Thanks man!
