    Hey all! I've got a 2015 TRD Off-road and its completely stock and I'm looking at the icon stage 4 kit but am open to other suspension ideas while I make some decisions.

    Does anybody out there in the Austin area have icon suspension set ups? If so, would anybody be willing to meet up and let me ride in your truck for a short bit just so I can feel the difference and see how the truck handles with the upgraded suspension?

    I'm looking to turn it into an overland eventually as I've trekked across a good many countries in overlands and am looking to build my own here in the States.

    I'm a 30 year old biomedical engineer working at a medical device company and live near North Loop (about 54rth street etc).

    Thanks and all help would be appreciated!

    Well since a case of beer is involved I'll start making the drive down from Kentucky!

    haha not sure if this was facetious or joking around -- can't think of a better payment than beer ;)

    Just joking, it would be a haul down there! But beer is excellent payment for any service.

    hahaha thanks!! I appreciate it. Tony helped me out and i checked out his fox suspension. rode really well. would still really like to check out some icon suspension before making a decision. i'm leaning toward icon because i like digressive valving better. but i'm open to changing my mind
