    Ahh that's right! I was invited to that, but because of my uncertain fluctuating work schedule I chose not to go. It looks like you guys had an awesome time!

    Sounds good.

    It was alot of fun. The trail was around 30 miles and it was like 20 miles of fire roads to the trail and then like two 6 mile hard steep trails after the trail to the main road. It was a long day.

    We were hauling though and my icons performed like a champ. Also not having a sway bar over long miles of bumpy terrain is awesome.

    What size shock are you running Nick? My current setup runs 4.5" long bumps and 10" of shock travel.

    Nice. Take it slow for awhile when you take it off.

    There will be trimming

    I have 10 inches of shock travel with the icons. I currently have 2.5 inch bump stops. Im pushing the shocks down 2 inches and adding 4.5 inch bump stops to compensate.

    At a 2.25" of leaf pack height a 4.5" bump stop works perfectly for a 10" travel shock. You get 6 inches of available uptravel before the shock bottoms out on it's built in bump stopper.

    You are heavier too, that might make an impact. Stoked to see what your droop looks like after....

    What shock extensions are you getting?

    You should just throw away your plans and roll back up to Pismo with all of us this weekend Nick. You know you want to.

    These. Nathan from relentless is running them and he outflexed me by a long shot. We did a bunch of three wheeling this weekend on the side of cliffs and Im hoping this helps.

    I saw those a long time ago when I was first starting my build and considering all the options. That might help drooping, but I could see those limiting your up travel man. Tread lightly.
