Icon Stage 1 Question?

The height of the truck in this video is what I want https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0oS7gGE5F0

Looks like its achieved with the Rough Country's 3-inch Suspension Lift Kit

I dont want a spacer lift, would I be able to achieve this with the

ICON STAGE 1 SUSPENSION KIT - K53001

And if yes, would all thats needed is just front coilovers and rear shocks?
Also dont want any front rake, what should the front coilovers be set to when installed?

 

There is a whole sub-forum dedicated to 3rd gen lifts.. but in a short answer the icon stage 1 (not extended travel) on a 3rd gen should net about 1.5-2”. And it’s a much better option than a spacer lift..

Good luck!

 

Bump!

 

No, you won't be able to. Icon stage 1s come set at 1.5" from the factory. I believe the max you can adjust your coilovers is either 2.5"-2.75". I am currently a little above 2" myself. The rear shocks do not provide any lift. You will need an add-a-leaf or a leaf-pack to achieve lift along with the rear shocks. If you don't want any rake, just install the stage 1 and leave the settings alone.

This is an older picture, but here is my set up with the Stage 1/Icon leaf pack + SPC UCAs+285/70/17s to give you an idea what it will look like. I currently have an aluminum bumper and have not had to adjust the coils to compensate for the additional weight.

 

So i wouldnt be able to lift the front end by adjusting the coilovers higher to make my truck sit as high as those spacers do on that video?

 

If the coilovers come set at 1.5 of lift and with the factory 3rd gen 1 inch lift that would make the front a total of 2.5 lift correct?

 

I guess you can say that, only when comparing it to a 2nd gen tacoma. But if you're comparing it to a 3rd gen tacoma, it's set at 1.5" from the factory.
