    I know im throwing this into a sea of people who need help choosing their suspension, so heres another one.

    I am currently torn, between compression adjusters, and increased lift. I am equally torn between fox, king and icon but only because i lack information on Icon and King. Im planning to order most everything from headstrong offroad.

    Fox gives me compression adjusters, but only 2 inches of lift. I have a road armor front bumper that weighs 150 lbs give or take, so I would lose some of that even.

    Icon gives me up to 3.5 inches of lift, but on the headstrong page there is no option for compression adjusters, so im not sure if I can add those on.

    Last is king, which iv heard awesome things about, have compression adjusters, but i have no idea how much lift they provide.

    any knowledge/ suggestions are much appreciated

    enough to go over stuff
    Id go king with 700lb coils. Might take a phone call to get the right coils. @Downsouth Motorsports usually is great for help and good pricing.

    PS: ive had all 3 and king rides the best

    If you buy the extended travel version, which all three offer, you can achieve 3” of lift. You will need new UCAs if you go this route. Icon calls it CDC adjusters, Fox calls it DSC and King I believe just says compression adjusters. Icons are preset so that a stock icon coilover is in the middle and then you can actually adjust softer or firmer, Fox is set for a non DSC coilover to be all the way soft so you can only adjust it firmer. No idea about Kings adjusters. Fox is also the only one that offers both high and low speed adjustments independent of each other only on 2.5” shocks.
