Getting More Travel Out Of Icon Shocks??

Hi ya'll,
I have been running Icon's Stage 5 kit for about a year, it includes 2.5 ext. travel shocks, with remote resi's and tubular UCS's in the front, and 2.5 remote resi's in rear with an aal. The tires are also 33" KO2's.
My question is: how can I get more travel out of the coilovers?
I have done moderate trails with the shocks and still need to tune them, but I can tell my travel is pretty limited with the current set up. Would adding +2 bedsides open up the space within the wheel well and allow for more travel? I was also looking into new LCA's but couldn't find any that would widen the track width, with the ext. travel coilovers because they are too short.

If this is already posted somewhere, if you could drop the link that would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

 

Adding flared bedsides only allow more room for the tire so you don’t get fender rubbing etc

There’s no way to increase your current travel without going to a LT kit... you can revalve your shocks to make them feel “smoother” and also make them feel like you aren’t using up all of your travel. I’m assuming they feel like that because they are soft?? So you blow through the travel quickly?

The shocks haven't been adjusted as far as tuning goes since I have put them on last year, haven't been able to get in there and learn how to do it yet. But yes I would assume they are soft. For an example I did a pretty easy trail today with some washboards, a few ruts, and occasional rough patches. But when driving at around 25-30 mph and hitting a deeper rut maybe 12"+ (not exactly sure) it sounds like the tires are hitting up into the wheel well, and makes a not so pleasant noise.
Advice appreciated!

 

You can't get more travel than what you've got with stock length arms and extended travel stock length shocks.

Fenders have absolutely nothing to do with suspension travel. (unless you are smashing tires into them, which you aren't)

Tuning shocks doesn't have much to do with their travel. Tuning shocks primarily focuses on changing their damping properties.

Changing LCAs doesn't have anything to do with track width, if you want to increase travel and track width you need to install a long travel kit.

It sounds like you need to do a lot of reading, based on your post you don't really have a grasp of the basic terminology concerning suspensions.

 

Take off your sway bar. You could get the greatest long travel ever but if you have a sway bar you have no travel. Even stock suspension with no sway bar would have more travel your current setup with sway bar. Just understand in some states it’s illegal to do so and they it is unsafe you you are more prone to rolling your vehicle on and off-road.

 

Remove the swaybar in the front.

Ditch the add a leaf for an icon rxt pack. And see if your rear shocks are long enough then.
