Icon coilovers or the King RR coilovers?

Icon Vehicle Dynamics FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you did my buddy coles first gen with camburg LT and i loooove that set up

 

^^^oh please ya jerk. King ftw

 

bah! steve you OBVIOUSLY know nothing about suspension systems...

 

i know enough not to put icon on my truck, nothing against icon but King is the $hit

 

lol each to his own

i dont hate king
i would just put on Icon before King theyre both great products though

 

Under ideal conditions, no cvs to bind and camburgs 1.25 inch ball joints, how much travel can we expect to cycle with the extended travel coilovers

 

whatever you say

 

bajamoon ftw of this agrument. hahaha

 

What made up your mind with going with icons? ever ran kings to compare?

 

nope... i just know people have had really great experiences with em..

i havnt heard anything negative about king so my opinion is very uneducated but whatever maybe ill end up changing my mind but for the time being i like icon... hell i dont even have Icon's i just have Billies.

 

yea im really one the fence about this and i will be getting either for around the same price. i just dont want to end up in a bad sit. like i was when i got my fab crabs

 

His buddy got them for nothing and has never had any other coilover so he does not know how the others are. I have had saw's, 5100's and now king and King is way beyond saw's.

 

do you mean as in flex? comfortabilty? hoping to get around 3 inch lift is poss and i would rather spend the money on quality stuff

 

like i said. uneducated opinion.

for the recod i liked Icon before i even knew cole. he isnt the reason i like em.. i just do

 

yes too all the above, just valve them to your truck. talk to Sonny at downsouth

 

So when i order them i just tell them my truck specs?04 dc 2.7

 

correct and tell them how much lift you want to do

 

hahah..

y'all are funny...

for stock replacement purposes, Icon and King are both great...

i have first hand experience with both...

it's not like you will be jumpin your truck once a month, so between the two, it's a matter of picking whichever falls into your budget...

if you hit up Downsouth Motorsports, they should have a deal on Kings, but if you can find the Icons for cheaper, then you are also good to go that route...

 

What the hell happened to the prices on ICON's? A few months ago they use to be quite a bit cheaper than kings, now ICON remote resi's are $1,350, which is only 50 bucks cheaper than Kings. The ICON rear RR shocks and their leaf packs all went up quite a lot in the last few months as well.

I would totally go with Kings for 50 bucks more. but the king rear shocks I think are still too much ($800) and I would go with ICON's out back or some cheaper non resi rear shocks.

I'm still bashing away on my Revtek and still haven't made up my mind on what I will end up doing for a final lift. I still get all gaga thinking of what my reg. cab would look like with a 6" lift, King remote resi's up front and Kings in the rear, traction bars, custom leaf pack, gears, 17x9" wheels with 305/70/17 Mud Grapplers.

But the price tag and warranty issues always brings me back to reality.
