Icon Stage 2 vs Bilstein 6112/5160

I have narrowed my suspension purchase down to either Icon Stage 2 with AAL or Bilstein 6112/5160 with Dakars and pulling the trigger on one or the other tonight. Have a pair of SPC UCA's already to go with. Which would you choose?

 

Very similar systems. I vote for Bilstein for reasons of price and the superiority of a purpose built leaf pack vs trying to ‘fix’ the OE pack.

 

Just pulled the trigger. Got a Bilstein Baja TX Pro kit (6112's, 5160's, and heavy front coils), and dakar heavy leaf packs. Combined with the SPC UCA's I already had, I'm into it for $1940.

Bonus points for the TRD tunedness.

 

Nice! Don’t forget to tell us about it after you install.

While you have the Ubolts off I’d recommend a new bumpstop. I like @Plastics Guy but anything is better than stock and may help protect your new springs from overarching.

 

So, I originally wanted to order from Head Strong. Sorry guys, but HS was closed and I resorted to eBay and others. Then I'm like, well lets go back to HS and see if I saved anything. Nope! Same thing altogether was $1940.99. So I "saved" 200 on the shocks, and $100 on the UCA's only to come out like $1.35 ahead

 

That's why Marie really doesn't do sales or group buys. Her everyday prices are about the same as the discounted prices everywhere else.
