    Im in the middle of buying rear shocks for my tacoma. The old procomps that came with the truck are making lots of knocking noises so I'm looking to replace them. I was looking at Icons and noticed they advertise 0-1.5" in lift and fox advertises 0-3" lift. Why is it that icon doesn't sell rear shocks for 3" of lift? Im looking at the 2.0 versions of both. My truck currently sits at about 2.75" of lift and i like to keep it at about 3". So will fox rears give me more lift in the rear than icons?

    Might wanna do a lil more reaearch. Rear Shocks don't provide lift. Lift is provided by Full leaf pack replacement, Single Add a leaf (AAL), or 3 leaf AAL; some call it a mini leaf pack, also there is blocks.

    For rear shocks they're just saying it support or accommodates that amount of lift.
