Upgraded from Bilstein 5100's to ICON CDC's with Moog LCA replacement

I basically had a stock DCSB for nearly 8 years before I finally got a big boy job and was able to finally install a suspension upgrade. I was still on a budget (gotta pay those student loans) and went with the 5100's and OME 885x coils. I got about 2.5 inches of lift but needed new UCA's to get my alignment correct.

Installed December 2015 (5100's w/ stock UCA's) Alignment numbers:



3 days later: December 2015 (5100's with JBA UCA's):


Alignment after install Dec 2015:


After 100K miles Feb 2018 (5100's, JBA UCA's, and stock LCA's)


100K miles later, the 5100's we holding up just fine, but adding an ARB bumper, the 5100's valving couldn't keep up with the weight and was getting annoying having so much travel and jitter in the front. I also noticed I had a floating caster. I could feel my truck lerching forward at every stop, and even though I cranked the LCA's bolts to 100 ft-lbs, it was still happening. Those stock LCA's were at 216K miles. The bushing are pretty blown at that point.

Install of ICON CDC's C/O's with 700 lbs spring and valved for an ARB bumper. MOOG LCA's with MOOG LCA Bolts Feb 2018


Took about 8 hrs Monday after work

Alignment BEFORE:


After the install, my steering wheel was turned a full 45 degrees to the right!

Alignment AFTER:


Took the tech about 2 hrs to dial it in, but he was a tacoma guy (drove a 1st gen) that was pretty tricked out so he took care of me. Steering wheel is perfectly straight too! Thank you Firestone and your lifetime alignment!

No more lerching at stops, no more bounce and jitter while driving. My alignment is near perfect. Super stable and very, very, happy with the ride quality. I have the CDC set at 4 since my rear Icon RR are the 2.0 series and do not have the option to even upgrade to CDC. Gotta save up for the Icon 2.5 RR w/ CDC now.
