    Working on it, dissent offroad racks, shift sense pro, pedal commander , ARB twin, rigid SS dually's , dual batteries, ARB fridge , 2.5 Fox coil overs wResi , 2.5 Fox rears w resi Total chaos UCA , deaver packs , Nitto trail grappler's 33" .
    Icon suspensions are great. Have a stage 6 on my Jeep.
    Your getting confuse on a lift verses a suspension . Most these “suspensions are height adjustable to 3”, that’s the lift .
    The different stages are the different components that make up the suspension. Ie...2.0 vs 2.5 resi no resi etc ....

    From icon to rancho???

    Here ya go...again Bilstiens 5100’d are your best bet for entry level.
    Fox, kings and icons are great suspensions !
    These start at about the same cost as the billies in 2.0 versions no resi which is perfect for you. It’s almost tomorrow:). Contact @HeadStrong Off-Road , Marie .
    Giver her your needs both usewise and budget . She will build you a great setup .
    Oh and the edit: go to suspension forum here and do some reading! Plenty to keep you busy till tomorrow

    It looks like @Tacomamike mike doest get the question (not trying to be a asshole). I’m not asking which is better, I just want to know if they are good and if they are not why? It looks like a damn good deal for $500 on eBay.

    Icon is good for road.
    I've heard good and bad about them but lots of leaking issues.

    Either way their stuff is ok off road but much more on road based.

    Fox is a nice in between.
    Kings is the best off road

    I get it now! Do not ask suspension lift questions if you are not going to buy bilsteins, Fox, or kings. Thanks!

    You asked for opinions and you don't like them that's fine. Not many on here run what you are asking about and the ones that have, well they have taken it off the truck and gone a different route. Why do you need the truck lifted asap? For looks?:facepalm: it looks fine as is, isn't that why you bought the truck. You have gotten good advice and continue to be hard headed and March on. You do you bro:thumbsup:. The companies that sell the particular lifts you are asking about have a known history of screwing up trucks and money out of their customers. Have a great week and Enjoy the new truck. Good luck in finding the 100 or soon here that run that suspension for their input.:hattip:

    No , listen to the advice given to your question . As stated several times, do some homework and don’t go with heap suspension systems. They are cheap for a reason, or you get what you pay for.
    Honestly the best budget kit is the bilstien 5100 kit , the best price is from @HeadStrong Off-Road .

    @JaCado @Tacomamike mike Are ranchos good or bad? Buy bilsteins! Ok mike I appreciate the advice and I will probable buy them but that didn’t answer the question. Jacado, I’ve been reading and doing research and I have not found many negative comments on the ranchos so I decided to ask the question here, is that bad? If you want to answer then do, if you don’t then don’t. If I didn’t have to worry about budget I wouldn’t be here asking questions. I thing a local offroad shop could’ve helped right?. Yes mike this thread should be locked because people can’t just answer a damn question without Being smart asses!
