    Hello everyone,

    I have a 2021 PRO I recently added a Green Land Off Road Stump Bumper and a set of their Rock Sliders. It’s really nice stuff excellent craftsmanship and all aluminum. I have plans to add a Smithy’s 8 or 10k winch in the spring.
    I’m looking to get ahead of the eventual front end sag with a Westcott TRD PRO front lift and an Icon AAL in the rear. (I feel like getting the full Westcott front and rear is a waste because it’s pretty much a block in the rear. Might as well get some functionality out of the work.)
    I’m looking to get some feedback on this set up. As well as possible issues. (i.e the need for shims or carrier bearing drop). I’m having a local off road shop install the kit so not really looking for install advice.
    Thanks for all the help.

    I have a 2020 Pro and had the Westcott Designs front and Icon AAL in the rear. I will say the full Westcott front raises more than 1.5”. On my truck that meant ANY weight in the bad resulted in a squatted look.

    So I took out the top spacer and just ran the pre-load collar. It raises the front about 7/8” - 1”. YMMV.

    I've installed this exact lift on a 21 Sport long bed with a 150lb bumper on the front and 125lb sliders. The rake stayed about the same without anything in the bed. I wasn't impressed with the Icon AAL...maybe gave 3/4" lift in the rear.

    That's the most military vehicle front bumper I've ever seen on a truck, airman.

    If it’s like 1” in the front with the collar and 1” with the Icon. I think I’m going to go with the set up. I’ll update everyone when I get it installed.
