geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

From what I have read, not very good things have been said about them

ORI's, King, ADS and Fox are where it is at

 

My friend has icons and he likes them but I'll check them out

 

I've heard of some fading and rusting

 

Search continues for my brother

I know Bilsteins rust bad..the friend my bro is referring to had them and they rusted very bad after a year or two. Another reason I didn't go with those..

 

Good thing about the extended warranty is that i can just replace them with new ones when they do get rusty or I break them

 

I heard these are stiffer than the 5100s.

 

valving is 255/70, ride is great. my friend has 5100 and when I rode in his it felt the same to me

 

Tight good to know

 

@iJonny keeping it real there goes build thread of the year award (like I had a chance)

 

I'm with you buddy. I put a shit ton into the truck I bought and built this year.

 

Same here...

 

Thank you so much and you were no trouble at all. That is what I am here for!

 

Stock shocks? Don't know exact numbers somewhere around 8" travel.

 

My icons have no rust after 2 years, they are a little stiff though.

 

if you know the stock eye to eye length then you can see what uptravel you can get from different stroke lengths

 

Thank you so much again!

Even with all your armor and spare?

Some smaller items are suppose to show up today for the mods coming. My CAI will arrive at home later today which means, shortly after delivery, my fiancee will be sending me a text in all caps Got a message from zscott that he sent out my last remaining cargo D-ring yesterday so thank you to Zach! If you remember, 3 out of 4 were tapped and threaded but the last one was not. I tried to do it myself, but mis-measured the thread. My replacement Rotopax mounting bracket should have arrived 2 days ago but they couldn't located me?? I had to call into FedEx customer service and everything to confirm a bunch of information and I thought it would have arrived yesterday but it didn't..it has only taken just over a month to finally get a replacement sent to me I received a shipping and tracking email from Marie yesterday evening that my FOX shocks are arriving next Tuesday!! I wish my shackle flip bracket would ship already..I have one more item I need to purchase to make the CAI system complete before taking the shackle, flip bracket and the remaining mystery item to the powder coater for paint..Please hurry Eddy!

 

Hope everything works out good for you buddy with getting everything done on time

 

Yea, the rears were valved with he intentions of me having more weight that I have yet to put on. Nothing a little revalve can't fix, and when I did the shackle flip, my dakars flattened a little and made my ride a lot smoother too. I am rebuilding my icon rears this weekend so it'll ride better after that. I have no complaints with them at all, id buy them again.
