icon extended travel coilover help (thread measurements)

Just found this on the Icon site:

Icon Vehicle Dynamics Suspension Question: How high can I adjust my coil-over shocks on my 4WD Tacoma?

On 4WD Tacoma's you don't want to adjust Icon Vehicle Dynamics coil-overs to more than 2.5" of lift. Any more than that puts excessive wear and stress on CV's and boots. The use of a differential spacer will allow you to go slightly higher.

I'm running the diff drop and the billet UCA's.

Also, see item 15 on this: http://www.socalsupertrucks.com/InstallationInstructions/IconVehicleDynamics/IVD58730.pdf

 

I have the 1" different drop and mine are slightly over 2" especially on driver side. My cv angle doesn't look terrible. It is a little stiff but far better than the bilsteins setup

 

I've had zero issues and I've got more or less 10k on mine. I had been toying around with lowering the front a bit because I think the Dakars have settled just a bit and I do want a little bit of rake. I've also added about 60-70 lbs to the bed with a Relentless Tailgate protector and a KBVoodoo basket. The ride improved and I don't have as many squeaks from the Dak's. I've got a front skid coming that will add a little more weight.

 

So I lowered my icons just now. Sitting right at 23 3/4 hub to fender. 2 3/8 showing on driver side and 1 7/8 on passenger. Rides alot better. Was a total of 4 full turns down per side.

 

I finally installed my 2.0 ET's yesterday, set at 2" on both sides.

CH to fender measurements:

Front right = 23"
Front Left = 23"



Rear has a 1" block and 2" AAL

Right rear = 25"
Left rear = 24 1/2" (Full tank of gas)



Love the ride!

 

LOL, I should have read this first I just commented on my thread "ICON going on". Nice looking truck!!!

 

Thanks, man!

Doing some bling today. I'll post it on my build thread.

Great thread!

Newly installed Icon 2.5 Coilovers #58635 as delivered measurements:

Driver: 1 5/16" of thread = 22" HC to Fender = 2" lift

Passenger: 1 1/4" of thread = 22" HC to Fender = 2" lift

How it sits with new shoes:

Update #1: Dakar Leafs (CS047R) installed and measured as 23" HC to fender = 3" lift.

Leer DCC w/rear full doors and weatherguard pack rat 308-3 in back, so constant 500lb unloaded weight back there...Update #2: Will keep 1" Rake and measure after alignment and 100mi then 500mi torque checkpoints.

Depending on how the leaf springs settle/sag down, looking for 2"-2.5" lift with a rake <1".
This thread has helped alot in potential settings for level!


Parts: DSM UCA - Icon 2.5 Ext.Travel - Dakar Leafs - ProComp 5001 16x8 - Grabber LT265/75/16E 123/120Q

 

Just found this thread, just to be sure, the fewer threads at the top, the higher the lift?

Want to make sure im rotating these the right direction

 

More threads showing=more lift.

 

Thanks!
