Using icon stage 4. 2.5 coil overs in long travel kit?

I have icon stage 4. 2.5 coil overs. Am I able to use these for a LT kit? I’m trying to get +2 on each side of the truck so I can run wide body fenders. HELP

The short answer is almost definitely not. Some kits let you scrape by with oem replacement shocks, but most require an LT specific shock that has a different mount at the top. Yes, the travel number may be 8" for both, but that's not the only thing that matters.

The REAL answer lies in the pages of hard won advice in the links @whatstcp posted

 

Right on man thanks

 

Short answer, no they wont work. Good info posted up above

 

Shoulda waited and did full LT at once I didn’t know the things I know now FUHHHHH

 

you and everybody else bro, but it's alright. Like others stated the quick answer is no. If you still want to consider LT then be sure to read the threads I linked above, they are a wealth of knowledge so that you don't have to learn the hard way for some things since the homework has already been done for you.

Also you can always go LT, clean up your Icon kit and sell it for some change to help fund the LT

 

So the point of wanting to go LT is to just use bulged fiberglass fenders? (is a case of Mall Crawler envy) If yes you can always run the fenders then you could just add a big old wheel spacer. But I would contact www.accutuneoffroad.com and discuss your option but it should be based on the suspension performance and use you want to achieve.

 

yes you can. you will obviously limit the travel #'s. buy the kit, run the shocks, save your money and get the custom spec coilovers in the future.

 

I abuse my truck, I do. Definitely not a mall crawler but I already have bought these shocks I didn’t do full research I just saw the resivoirs and thought they were all the same. Anyway, I’m 19 lol don’t have a crazy job but I’d like to get the wide stance and then in turn I’d need fiberglass.

 

could you send me a link to which kit I could use my icons with? TIA

 

Lmao
