    I agree I don't have the Dakars in back but the ICON 2.0 Shocks and 3 leaf Progressive AAL, and I think it drives like a Caddy myself.

    I checked into the ICON and they state the shocks are adjustable; if so what would you recommend for height wise?

    There's only one height you should be at.

    If you go with the Nitrocharger kit, not the BP-51 then you don't need UCA's and I got mine for only $1k delivered. I have the 886 springs but I wouldn't recommend those unless you have a good amount of weight. I had the ARB bumper and a winch but still thought it rode a bit rough until I added skids plates, and now it rides great IMO.

    Why do you say that?

    My fear is I want a promise I can align my truck. I can’t afford double labor to install later.

    I was able to get it aligned at 0,0,2.5 without UCAs. It's really only a 2" lift (was higher with the 886s before I added the weight). Also when I called before purchase they assured me nothing besides what was included in the kit was needed. I specifically asked about UCAs and extended brake lines.

    Sorry been off the forums for a bit since I've done basically all I'm going to do to my truck until it's a dedicated off road rig.

    I think it must have been on sale looking at the current prices online, and I believe I got it through Low Range Offroad, it's like $1250 now, and the same price on Amazon with free shipping.

    EDIT: and yes it included Dakars as do the ones I just checked on LRO and Amazon
