ICON stage 9 ordered...need setup advice

nosent · May 28, 2019

Someone had said the idea of not beating it up sounds good till you get out on a trail...they were right. I did a trail that took me 3 hours in my 2nd gen but only 45 min in this truck. Obviously knowing the trail better helped cut the time down, but I can't even elaborate the difference. Taking it easy doesn't seem like it will happen now. Time to get my 2nd gen running again and use it as my DD.

Buy once, cry once. Enjoy your suspension.

OK, I’ve worked up the gumption to ask about this common saying. I don’t get it. Why would you cry once when you buy something? And why would you cry twice if you replaced it? I bought a whole truck and replace stuff. I’m happy about it, not crying.

I placed my order for my ICON stage 9 kit. Install will be happening in just over a week. I have a CBI 10" rack with a CVT 2 person RTT. My highlift and traction boards are mounted to the rack and my fuel can will be mounted to the bed rails. Along with my camping gear and firewood, it is an extra 400lbs in the bed while I am wheelin. That is why I went with the kit that included the RXT rear setup. My hope is that I can get some guidance on the bound and rebound settings. I have never had a suspension that had these options, so any input is welcome.

I don't plan on bangin trails hard, but want to feel confident in my daily driver making it through whatever I put her through. I can't wait for the install so I can see the height difference and figure out my wheel and tire situation. I will be running the stock OR 16" wheels with 265/75/16 KO2 DTs. I already know that without the offset it will look a bit odd, but it's what I have for the moment. I landed a full set of tires for half price with warranty, so I couldn't pass it up. I will update with before and after pictures once everything is done.
