    Try BBM Off-road. They are making me some custom misalignments. That shouldn't be a huge problem.

    ok iv been snooping around TW for a while now, forgive me if there is a thread covering my question , so i just bought the total chaos 3.5' LT kit and i am currently running a icon mid travel kit, so my question is do i stay loyal to the icon coilovers or listen to the salesman and go with the fox coilovers. wondering if any of you have experience with both shocks

    I run fox on my wifes duramax. My truck has Icon coilovers with King bypass up front and radflo in the rear. From a maintenance perspective, the Icon's are the most reliable closely followed by the kings. The radflo bypass screws seized on a couple tubes, one of the kings developed a leak at about 20K miles, and the Icon's anodizing has faded a bit. The fox's are a maintenance nightmare. Maybe it's just the set I got, but if you actually use them hard they puke oil. Maybe lower temp seals or something? Either way, Icon is a good way to go and if you want blue ones get king's. Fox must have a higher profit margin for resellers or something, cause unless you run the full race version they blow (in my experience).

    The one I really liked was the meme about the helmet and warplane combo reference.
    I know I'll get something coming my way once I do something dumb which won't be too hard to pull off once I start posting more on DR.
