Mid Travel kit

This is the great debate. All brands are pretty good. I went with ICON because I wanted everything to match. Also, I got them for 20% off from metal tech offroad. The boxed DSM arms look bad ass and I know a guy that has a pair, he loves them. It's nice to know you have the strength of the uni balls and there is a little bit of bling apeal that goes with them. I say spend the money the first time so you don't question yourself down the road and want to upgrade.

 

GOT fOX ?

 

Nice.

 

I see you driving around Concord, great looking truck!

 

Do you?? Feel free to honk at me and get my attention sometime! It's always nice to know there are fellow Taco drivers around!

 

I most certainly will! You sure seem to know what you're talking about, always nice to see the educated helping people out. Much respect.

 

:Thumbsup:

Thanks bud! I just want everyone to be confident about what they are doing to their rigs. Come wheeling with us sometime, it's always a blast out in the spots we go.

 

Nice...

You will love your ride MUCH more now that it's installed!

 

I'm a little jelly of your LCA's. I would love to uprade to a unball LCA and with the secondary shock mount but $$$$

 

Uniball lower's and uppers are amazing! I had no idea I would expect that vast of a ride improvement over stock, but even the coilover's I have which used to be a little harsh on impact over rough imperfections both on and offroad a little now softened up and absorb the blows SO much better now thanks to the delrin bushings on the lowers and the poly's on the uppers.

WORLDS better of a ride now vs. the stock CA's huh?!

 

I'd love to, but unfortunately I'm still stock.

 

I have the extended travel with uniball icon ucas. I have it set at 3 inches of lift and I use the extra inch of travel. Its worth it.

Droop tires Droop

 

Update: I ordered Icon extended travel remote resi's with total chaos uppers! Thank you for the help!

 

Well I got them installed and set at 3" and they ride kinda bad. Really stiff. My problem is vibrations in the floorboard and steering wheel. I was thinking maybe Les Schwab did a shitty alignment.

 

Did you get the adjustable shocks? If you did, you'll need to take a look your compression (and rebound, if applicable) damping settings and adjust as necessary. If set too high, they will ride stiff.

But they will also break in slightly (get softer over the course of 500-1000 miles, depending on what you are driving over), so that's another thing to consider.

Also, try dropping the lift down to 2.5". It seems that a lot of people have problems at 3"+ while the people who have problems at 2.5" or less is much reduced, so maybe that 1/2" difference is enough to save you some headache.
