    Greetings,

    I currently own a 2011 Tacoma (TRD) 4x4. I am considering the investment of placing a ICON suspension system - stage 2 on my truck but my question is for all of you technical experts.

    QUESTION: Will there be a big difference in the ride, on and off road? Is ICON considered a good quality product among its competitors?

    Thank you in advance for all responses. I am not a SME in this field.

    - Cal

    I agree with Rock. Icons are really good, but your ride will be firm. However, I can hit speed bumps at 40 and not feel much.

    Thanks Rock and Bender for the information. Which company would you prefer? Or stick with ICON?

    I like my Icons, but if I buy again I will try the Kings.

    Icon all around! if I were you I would go with the CDC shocks since you can then fine tune your ride to your liking.

    Icons are the way to go out of the box IMO.
