Icon lift and suspension (after pics)

[papsford]

Picked up the rig after a couple days in the shop. Loving the new look.

Parts I am still waiting for: NYTOP sliders, aFe catback and cai.

Looks great! What rims and tires did you put on?

 

[papsford]

Those are TRD 18x8. Nitto Terra Grappler G3’s.

 

[LCOceans]

Very nice look. Could you tell us more on which Icon suspension you purchased? Amount of lift? And your tire size?
Also how is the ride compared to original suspension?

 

[Rk1679]

Interested in the suspension details as well. I’m considering the Icon stage 1 system as well as a Dobinsons package that will be available hopefully in March. I’m in the Springs. Did you have someone in Boulder or Denver do the install?

 

[papsford]

It’s essentially the Icon stage 2 lift kit. 2.5” upfront and 1” outback, 0.5” rake. I was originally doing a similar kit from Dobinsons but was swayed to icon due to on road ride (I like a little stiffer).

Work was done at Johns4x4 in Boulder.

Tires are 295 70 18.

Are those black chrome wheel nuts? Were they are the vehicle from factory or did you buy in the aftermarket? I've changed to the TRD wheels but the only black or black chrome lug nuts I can find are from the Tundra and they have a 22mm head. Seems nothing out there in black with a 21mm head. Thanks

Those were the lugs from my original 18" stock wheels.

Looks great! What are you doing for your spare? I'm assuming a diff drop was used as well in the lift kit, correct?

 

[papsford]

TBD on the spare. Stock is still in there. And yes added a diff drop to the kit.

Loving those tires myself. That's a great looking truck. Nicely done!

Looks great! Did you get the AFE exhaust and CAI? Let us know if you did and your feedback on how you like or dislike the mods. Thanks!

 

[papsford]

I’ve installed the CAI and it’s quite noticeable, worth it. I’m waiting on the sliders still so those and the exhaust will get installed together. I also got the charge pipes from aFe along with the scorcher ecu unit. Will report back when all is done. Unfortunately, the sliders are still a month out.

 

[LCOceans]

What did you do about upper control arms? Tubular or Billet? Did you add anything else that was not included in the Stage 2 kit? Rear panhard rod? Rear links?

 

[papsford]

I did the tubular. Was told it wasn’t worth the extra $$$ for billet. Only other thing I had was the diff drop kit.

I’ve also added the DV8 centric front bumper with led light bar and a hidden Warn winch.

Did the Diff drop affect ground clearance at all? Been wondering about that, I already ordered the complete setup with diff drop just want to know if it affects ground clearance.

Thanks.

Appreciate the feedback on the CAI. Please do report back in the other items. I’ve also considered the scorcher ecu. I believe if you do the CAI, exhaust and the scorcher you should notice a big difference.
