    14" and 700lbs?

    I'm assuming you've done your research, but that sounds like I lot to combine.

    Yup I've done my research. They will be able to handle all the weight I have up front with very little preload on the adjustable coilivers. Icon also makes some but more expensive for the same thing. Some local guys are running this setup. Also talked to sonny at down south motor sports

    SDHQ recommended 14" 700lbs coils when I inquired about Icons for the front. They said that'd be about right to account for the Elite bumper, Budbuilt skids and winch.

    I'm running around on OME 882s right now (500 lb rate) and it is soft but I like 'em because it allows me to stuff the front wheels when crawling. I'll probably have to go to the 883s one day or step up to the Icons.

    Add the second transfer case and the frontrunner. I don't think I'll have trouble stuffing the front but I guess we will see. I gotta take a picture of how much I have the icons cranked

    Plus the fact your a double cab would add some weight, that may be more towards the back though

    When I was considering sas I also looked into Lt. Awesome to have but where I wheel mid travel has done just fine. Pretty satisfied with my build currently minus a few things here and there. Seems now I'm somewhat focused on comfort on wheeling trips

    Gotta pretty good deal on the Icon UCA $734 shipped! Almost pulled the trigger on the Camburgs. In the end I didn't want to be like "I wish I got the Icon's"

    Like Linwood says "Buy once cry once"

    Also ordered King Coils!

    Now I'm done ordering shit!
