    I'm getting started on my build and i'm stuck between just getting an Icon kit stage 1 or two or just getting the bilstein adjustable's with some OME springs. I've heard great from both. I'd like to hear some more opinions. Also if you would be so kind in giving me some advice on where to purchase these items online cheapest prices, fastest shipping etc. Thanks!

    out of the two definitely the icons are more advanced and will outperform the ome on and off road, get the icons :)

    Icons are leaps and bounds better than OME/5100s. Go with the icons, you wont be sorry.

    Oh and I got all my stuff from wheelersoffroad.com . They are great over there and helped me out a lot. I believe Icon ships free from them too. They are listed in the official vendors tab of buy/sell/trade

    i have 5100's on OME 885 coils. like said above, it's good if you can't afford Icons or any other quality coilover but in the end i wish i would have saved more money and went with Icon or something. The ride quality with 5100's and 885's are just eh and i do have them set at "0".

    What are you wanting to do, front lift to level out only or lift the rear also ? are you planing to do regular offroading or trails ?

    Basically, if you can afford the Icons then get them. I wish I would have went Icons first, now I'm upgrading to them in the future.

    these are a great uniball uca, especially if you want to lift the front with your icon coilover, they are great for proper alignment and smoother articulation as well as more downtravel :) if you get the extended travel icon fronts you must use an aftermarket uniball uca, otherwise the stock uca will contact the coil at full extension.

    I run full OME shocks/coils. I would personally not run OME on Bilsteins. I love my full OME setup but if you have the money for ICON by all means do that! I don't see why this is even a question.
