    Hey guys I was curious if anybody has ran the 5100's and switched to the icon stage 2. I've really been debating doing this but for 2 grand I wanted some opinions and thoughts of what u thought

    I have 5100/ eibachs and friend has icon extended travels is night and day and is comparing apples and oranges if you have the money and it fits your new needs by all means go for it..

    You get:

    Larger shock housing
    Matched coil to your shocks setup for your truck
    Valving
    Ability to rebuild
    Durability

    List goes on and on only downfall is the price and should be the only thing you need to consider

    out and about building powerlines

    Try and take an offroad ride with a truck that has icons/kings/fox's, you will 100% notice a difference. Bilstiens and a good coil over don't compare.

    Agreed, Off-roading in Bilstein 5100's or the stockers don't even compare to a Coilover like Fox/King/Icon/Sway Away. After replacing my 5100's with my SAW's I am capable of taking my truck to WHOLE new level's I love it!

    TC I don't have the extra change either! Haha But ya I'd probably part with the whole setup, I have the eibachs as well, everything has about 6000k on it

    Do you need them? Or just want them? I do ALOT with my truck unmaintained roads everyday and I Don drive easy on them... And my eibachs and 5100s do there job just fine... Yes icons would be better but for the price its not really needed for me.. Just keep that in mind.

    On a 2nd note the rear is what I am interested in if you have any goodies that you swap out my stockers suck ass
