ICON Stage 2 droop stop cut off??

Erod_66 · August 20, 2020

@Flatblack83 Her are the pics at full droop. I don't think I would leave it in the air for too long without a second jack.

Perfect, thankyou for taking the time to put up the pics. I think I'll trim my droop stops off too. My coilovers are on their way back fedex. Now are stage 3, should be interesting.

This is the passenger side.

What lift heigth are you at with this pic..?

Hopefully since my wheels are 1/2 less offset I can make em clear with 1/4 spacers.

In the front I am currently sitting at 38 7/8" from the floor to the plastic part of the fender. I have 9/16" of threads showing between the top of the coil over and the adjustment collar. The rear is sitting at 40 1/8" from the floor to the plastic part of the fender.

I still debating about going up .5 in the front, but I do like a little rake. The height difference is slightly noticeable in the garage.

This a gmc..? On my chevy with 33s mine was 38 stock, on 35s now with a 3 inch its 41 1/4. That's from the ground to the fender lip.

Yes, it's the AT4. When I spoke to ICON, they stated that this Stage 2 kit replaced the original struts, without additional height, on the AT4/TrailBoss since they already have the initial 2' of height from factory. They send them out at their recommended height for optimal ride quality. We can increase they height, but they don't recommend maximizing the height (3.5in) as the ride will be very very firm.

I'll give them a call to see what kind of lift do the 7/8 of threads typically provide. I also need to find out how many turns on the collar equate to inches of lift.

How many inches of threads do you have at the top of the coil over? Did you keep it level or did you add a block in the back?

I dont currently have em, fedex does and I should c them Thursday. At 3 inches of lift or 41 inches i had 5/8 of threads. I ended up backing the collar off further and added a moto fab lower 1/2 inch block that gave it an inch. It rode smoother instead of it being cranked.

@Flatblack83 Looking forward to seeing what it looks like and know what your ride quality is like once they are installed. I'm liking mine more and more everyday. The piggy back clamps arrived today and I'll be installing those tomorrow. The space was snug on the left rear and I'm afraid that the reservoir is bumping something. I'll post an update later.

Stock I was at 38" in the front and 40.25 in the rear with the stock 33's.

Here are some pics of the rears with the piggy backs. It's really close...

That fitting looks awfully vulnerable

@topgear1224 I agree. I'm going to keep a close eye on it. If I get any rub, I'll be headed to the muffler shop to make some adjustments to the exhaust. I have the Gm performance exhaust and was unaware that this would become an issue.
