ICON DYNAMICS stage 4

[Flatblack83]

I installed an icon stage 1 kit earlier this year, seemed a little firm but felt more planted on the road. I called and they revalve them free within the 1st year. They suggested the cdcv reservoir with adjuster upgrade.   A month ago I sent my coilovers back to get the reservoir with the compression adjuster.  They arrived Monday at icon and were shipped back Thursday, not too bad.. Also picked up the tubular control arms with delta joint. The last piece to arrive was the rear 2.5 reservoir shocks with compression adjuster. So finally makes the complete stage 4.

 

The front is set at 3-3.25 i think, just going off of measurements from the 2 inch i had. I put nut certs in the frame for the reservoir mounts. The control arms have caps on them to cover up the joint for the weather. The rear is a 2 inch block with the icon 2.5s. Only other piece i added is a set of different bump stops. Called sumosprings, helps with hauling upto 1500lbs in the bed so it doesn't sag plus for me I'd rather not have an airbag kit.

On level ground, you can see the preload added.

I drove it around for 2 weeks before aligning it, adjusted the coilovers a few times for it to sit where I want it. Here's the final outcome.

 

This is with 35 12.50 20 bfg km3s on 20x9 trailboss replicas. They rub the larger gm mud flaps at full lock in reverse.

 

A little about it....ts a 2019 custom, high country headlights swap, black gm grill, ami tow hook clevis mounts, westin hdx steps,, tinted corner lights, tinted mirror lights, ceramic tint, egr vent shades, gm larger mud flaps, gm rear wheel well liners, black exhaust tips and tailgate lettering. Coated in a few coats of adams graphene ceramic coating.

It drives really well, i have the front shocks set at 4 and the rears at 3. Seems to drive on the pa roads pretty well.. The angles are ok and it seems to be good, im not sure of the long term effects tho.  Its probably going to stay that way till early next year, im going to buy a zone 4 inch kit. Still going to use my icon parts with it. That will clean up the angles back to stock.

 

Plus the westin hdx steps are coming off for a set of amps , they look alot cleaner.

Sick! Just found my next mod with those shackles. Install pretty easy? Looks like RC makes a set too but lots of issues with welds and holes not lining up.

These are from ami and they suck..!  Were a pain in the ass, lots of trimming. Had to drill a hole to put a bolt thru both holes. The rough country are probably better..!
