ICON Question

Hi. I just recently bought the Icon Stage 7T kit for my '14 taco. Originally, I kept the fronts set to the factory setting, but my 285/70/17s around 17x9 (-12offset) rims were rubbing the fender and frame (cab mount?) slightly. Then it settled and it got unbearable. So I got an alignment and rubbing was considerably less but rubbed a lot in reverse. I grabbed my spanner wrench and cranked it up until there was only like 4 full revolutions left or threads showing underneath where you crank w/ the wrench. I'm not even close to rubbing right now. *I'm also running a plate bumper and winch.

1) Is lifting it that high going to negatively effect the quality of the suspension?

2) Will the coil overs settle again and drop the height of my truck?

 

I'm in the same boat. Gonna install stage 5 this weekend and I got the same wheel setup as you. I heard there was gonna be some rubbing. but from your experience, sounds like it's more than expected. I didn't want to Cab mount chop, but I think I'll have to at this point.

 

I was thinking it's a lot of preload too. I raised the truck up about 1" in the front from where it was previously, no rubbing even in reverse in full lock. It sits slightly higher than the back though which I wanted to avoid, but I'd rather have that than rubbing.

You might have to, everyones truck sees different results. Keep me updated.

 

I will be getting stage 4 icons front and rear resi with total chaos upper control arms.. I will be running aal 1.5 rear leaf Springs. Be mind travel icons. My question is what are these icons made for. I do a lot of trails and city driving good way to go.
