    Alright guys starting to plan out my suspension on our 2014 dbl cab short bed prerunner. Most offroading we would be doing would be fire roads/driving on the beach the truck is more of a DD then anything. My new wheels will be here on friday and im only planing on running 265/75r16's at the most (want to kinda keep it fuel efficient). Im looking into the Icon stg 1 as I really dont want a harsh ride and have been told coilovers are the way to go. What im thinking is going with the Icon stg 1 and keeping it around 1.75-2in lift in the front then pulling the overload leaf in the rear and putting a Icon mini pack in to gain a tad over stock in the rear while keeping a stockish ride. Im hoping that I wont need to get upper control arms right away by keeping it a tad over leveled but if need be Ill pick up a set of control arms to keep the alignment in check.

    Does anyone have any pics of something like im thinking? Anything look out of place? And finally anything I need to change in my plans? Looking to start ordering stuff next month.

    Sounds like you have a good plan set out. With the lift height you are suggesting, you won't need the aftermarket UCAs, and the ride should be really good.

    Well I went ahead and ordered the stage 1 from SDHQ who by the way have killer pricing! It was in stock so should be here next week and installed the week after. I'm excited to see how it rides. Got my method NV's installed on the factory tires for now and will post pics of everything after the suspension install.

    I as well am thinking of going with this set up and am wondering of ride quality, and product quality. I was reading some time back that some have had issue's with squeaking from the front coils overs and some others have also reported the add a leafs squeaking also. Any and all issues with this product please chime in. Thanks in advance for all reply's.
