    x2. IIRC it's a 650# spring, rides a little stiffer on road because of the digressive valving.

    I'm plenty happy with the ride...the stock suspension was a bit squishy on road for me, and the offroad improvement is HUGE.

    I put the ICON Stage 6 on my 2010 4Runner last week. It is the same suspension for the FJ and 4th Gen 4Runner.

    My truck glides over speed humps at 40 MPH.

    I told my alignment guy to take the humps at 40 and was blown away. I ended up taking lots of guys from the shop for a demo ride. They were all impressed.

    I hear that it can be made even better. I am flying out to ICON next week to look over some more goodies.

    lol @ "stage 6". I believe there are only 4 for the Tacoma. For the cost of an LT setup, you can have...really good dampening.

    Still looks sick tho :drool:

    First off - You should not go more than three inches of lift on a 4x4.
    Second - I am sure Radflo built their coilovers to basically the same length as the Icons (as long as you have the correct set for your vehicle).
    Third - How are you determining that you are bottoming out the front suspension? At 3" of lift, that is a lot of up travel you have to blow through in order to bottom out the suspension.
    Fourth - I will gladly sell you a set of Icons if you decide you would like to go that route. :)

    Thanks Dan. But I meant topping out... My coilovers are set to 3" lift. And I think I will just keep the RadFlo's for now, bc I dont do much offroading. But Sooner or later I may switch to Icon Ext. Length.
    Thanks again!

    Any shock is gonna top out hard if the preload is up too high. Try setting them at 2.5"
