    I'm on shitty tires currently and saving for the lt so if the tires last long enough it's not a problem but otherwise I need to buy tires that'll work on a stock suspension

    the new springs are 18" 550#

    i know right?!?! so stoked

    the Icon coils are 16". to fit my 18" on the shock i had to get new lower coil seats because the ones Icon put on there originally were thick as fuck and the spring wouldn't fit with them on there.

    i can post up comparison pics tomorrow

    the Icons are a bit longer than a standard 8" shock, so you dont need to compress the spring at all to get them on the shock with the proper lower spring seats

    More pics of the rear setup Mike?

    Curious as to why the top of the chase rack is suspended so high above the roof of the truck, or maybe its just the pics:notsure:
