    I cant decide between these 2 setups. Pros/Cons? Also with either of these how can i achieve NO RAKE at all, I dont mind a slight bro lean either. I was thinking pairing either of these lifts with a HS 3 LEAF but afraid its going to sit higher at the rear.

    Icon and go with 1.5'' Icon rear leaf pack. Crank ICON coils 4 turns for additional 1/2" inch. It will sit perfectly leveled...

    What kind of off roading do you plan on....
    Slow and methodical.... fox... progressive valving
    Speed and fly by the seat of your pants..... icon. Digressive valving. Faster you go the softer they become until bottom out of course.

    Just buy Kings and be done with it. Get the version with the adjusters.

    I would go with the fox set up if that's what budget allows. But should just save up for the kings... what's another month or two of waiting.

    Went with the Fox 2.5's with resi's and DSC adjusters on the rear from accutune.... they come custom valved to your application.
    Pretty sure they rank right up there with the Kings.
    Can't go wrong either way but the Fox is not junk.

    Kings are very nice, but overkill unless you are heading to the Tecate Baja race in mexico. Love my icons price wise and the ride is very very plush for every day use. Save the extra cash for more mods.
