TC UCAs & ICON 2.5 coilover

haha i really wanna see it tomorrrow

 

haha that looks crazy with the stock tires. Welcome to TW, what tires and wheels you get?

 

figured out my problem. Icon installed the wrong spring on the coilovers. sending me new shocks now. all the 5 luggers out there, I highly recommend Total Chaos and Icon. The guys there are cool as s**t and more than willing to make things right.
chaosfab.com, iconvehicledynamics.com.. check em out. late

 

i am buying this kit in a few months and actually just got off the phone with icon -

i am amazed at how much lift it gave. i was concerned about getting my full 3.5" of lift.

how come you didnt get the reservoirs??? if i run 33x12.5r15s you think they will rub on the reservoirs?

should i ditch the reservoirs?

can i see a pic of your truck with the new tires please

 

TC recomends a 31" tire... 33" will be wayyyyyy too big

 

haha fuck recommendations. if everybody did the recommended amount/dosage/restriction then life wouldnt be fun right?

 

life wont be very fun when you have way too big of a tire that rubs on the frame and UCA when you turn the wheel or when the tire is slamming into the shock resi or upper fender well

a tire that big will act as a huge bump stop and limit your suspension up travel like a mo fo and then what's the point on spending $2K on a performance suspension...

 

listen to matt he know his shit hows the sale going matt?

 

i have zero buyers... so not much of a sale really haha

looks like i'll be keeping my truck for a while longer

 

sweet maybe when i get a better job ill meet you somewhere and well get some wheeling in. honestly if i had the money id buy it haha

 

op will you please post some pics with your bigger tires? also can you confirm the amount of lift you got after installing

 

i'll get the new pics in in awhile, if you max out to the full 3.5" youll b riding at the top of the stroke. therefore verytime u go over a speed bump youll feel everything max out. i went to 2 3/4" just out of level and it rides great. beat on it a couple times already and im stoked. point being, u can get the 3.5 but itll ride like shit. pics comin

 

Its your truck, do what you want.

 

you made a comment about 6" of lift?

 

ya they originally sent me 6" coilovers for a crew cab taco. looked great but what a ride! so unless u buy their LT kit ur stuck with the 3.5. and just so u know if ur in a peeny pinch, u dont need the uca's the stock will siffice.

 

let me add to that last post.... a 6 lug crew cab taco.

 

you need the UCA's for the travel that the coilover provides... the uni-ball allows for the extra droop.

with stock UCA's the down travel will cause the ball joint to fail

that is not good

unless you run a limit strap to keep the suspension from drooping too far... you DO need the UCA's

 

nono i am getting the UCAS - so wait you actually were able to install the 6" lift though????? i want to do that


PICS PWEASE

 

6 inch lift he got was because he was sent the wrong coilovers. with the right coilover i believe you will get 3-4 inches.
correcet me if im wrong

 

this^^
