    long travel sleeper
    boxed frame, DMZ rear with dual Fox shocks, Total chaos and Icon front. Brute Force Fab high clearance Bumpers, Dirt King LCA's , Dirt Designs shock tower brace, AFE cai, Doug Thorly Long tube headers, UDR mid pipes, Scan Gauge 2, UDR cat sim, Smity Built wench, Fox secondary shocks, Total Chaos spindles {Glorified Welder}, Lund cover, custom headache rack, Total Chaos cam gussets, DeNunzio Racing tube connectors,
    Hi, I have an 05 that I put Icon 2.5's on with Total Chaos upper arms. And it worked great until I added a Brute Force Fab bumper and a Smitty Built wench. And that added about 200 lbs. right on my nose. I was wondering if someone could help me out and tell me what springs I could get for my Icons. I see different load springs posted all the time but not sure what all is compatible. Thanks, Adam

    Icon offers a 700lb spring for your coilovers which is what you will need.

    You wont want anything heavier. Standard LT spring rate is 600lbs, 650 should be more than sufficient.

    reconsider to a TC +2 race kit if thats the width you are looking for.

    1. Fully boxed chromoly lowers
    2. Heimed UCA Option
    3. Better ground clearance
    4. Option to mount a secondary shock

    more expensive than the all pro kit, but from someone that had an all pro kit and moved on to bigger and better things dont waste your time. Spend your money once in the right places so you dont have to redo things in the future
