    @inesshell good to know. I will have to check them on a level surface.

    @JoeCOVA will tires make a difference on CV angles? I would think so? Right now I'm on 265/70/17. Checked them today on flat surface and there are marks showing on the inner boots that they are touching. Outer boots are fine. Measured lift as well and from stock height, I went up about 2 - 2.5"

    @eldedo tried the business card test. Definitely fits in the outer boots but not the inners. Does tire size effect CV angles?

    Tires shouldn't make too much of a difference. If you are concerned about the boots rubbing you can lower the coil a few turns or even 1-2 threads.

    Front looks higher in this picture (to me). Level surface and measurements are higher in the rear.

    @TACO YEET I suppose I could but I wouldnt want to. I've seen people do it. I have about 10 - 11 threads showing on my coils.

    @JoeCOVA I probably will do that. I just dont get how so many people are running with similar set ups, with the same amount of threads showing on the coilovers but yet have better angles than I do lol.

    @Dacon nice! Are the fins on your inner boots touching? Do you have a diff drop kit? I'm not quite at 3" but my angles look worst than yours lol

    Front I have Icon coils overs with 700# springs cranked to the max elevation. No additional weight in the front.
    Not sure if the fins touch, I checked on the edges and no rubbing showing.Look OK so far.
    Tomorrow I will take another picture with the phone leveled on ground to show the angles.

    @Dacon do you know if Kings and Icons are the same with turn/thread to lift ratio?

    Have no idea. Icons coil overs with extended travel and 700# springs indicate to have a maximum space between the top of the spring housing and adjusting ring of 1.10", that means all the threads showing must not be longer than 1.10".

    @Hobbs yes, if you look at it in person you can tell theres a small rake which I dont mind and want. My concern is I might've went too high in the front. I have about an 1.25" rake I believe.
