    3in lift with ICON shocks. Warn Winch. Many more mods to come.
    I’m running ICON 2.5 Stage Shocks Extended Coilover with Remote Reservoirs. I went to go change my passenger side coil and I started to get too sketched out as I was using Oreilys spring compressor that wouldn’t even fit properly. I also think it would be very dangerous if that broken piece on the end suddenly pops off and slides over the bottom coil seat. Should I just take it to a shop and have them do it or should I send the whole shock/strut assembly to icon and have them do it and pay the hefty price? Thought are greatly appreciated.

    Yea...that definitely looks sketchy. I would think an auto shop with a wall mounted compressor would be able to handle that. Probably no need in spending the money to ship it to/from icon, plus whatever they charge.
