    The stock suspension is really starting to show stress from having the extra weight of a ARB deluxe + winch on it for ~15-20k miles. After looking around it came down to either two options:

    OME HD kit with 886 coils, Dakar leafs, & LR UCA (hard to pass on with the current 30% sale)

    or

    ICON Stage 1 w/ LR UCA (keep revtek rear spacer block in)

    I've been leaning towards the ICON due to mixed reviews on the 886 being either too rough or clunking on speeds bumps (not being loaded down enough). I only tow maybe 3 times a year and most of the offroad driving is fireroads etc.

    Wanted to see if anyone had a similar situation and had any advice (Picture is before i put the ARE CX Canopy on)

    the full OME setup will outperform icons in the front with blocks in the rear.
    Id go with OME if i were you

    You could run the 887 coils with a 10mm Enhancer kit. Should get you the lift height your looking for without the bad characteristics the 886 coils are known for.

    OME will perform better than the Icon with LRs and blocks in the rear. I would go with an 887 with the 10 mm spacer like YotaDan mentioned. You'll be happy :thumbsup:

    Fair, but i don't know if I'd need the 10mm extension depending on how high the Dakars sit compared to 887's up front. Could always play it by ear. Biggest issue right now is simply all the extra weight up front on a stock shock.
