ICON Vehicle Dynamics Coilovers
#13
I went by the ICON booth at Sema and the kit looked amazing. I am running the Recon kit on my 2011JKU and I like it. Just need to get the springs and valving dialed in for desert speed. The main draw back with the recon kit is the SUPER long wait for the king shocks, 2 months if your lucky.
I had Icons coil overs on my 2011 Tacoma and loved them.

I would not spend that kind of money on a bolt on kit. You can build a better set up for much less.
I understand that the bolt on makes it easy for people to install but that icon vehicle leaves a lot to be desired in a suspension set up.

They use new $10,000+ axles and use the shitty factory mount locations that decrease ground clearance. The poor orientation of the rear shocks, and the location of the rear reservoirs are just asking to be smashed in that mounting location.
For a show car it is pretty though.

I see...man if I only had the money for that. I think I'm finally settled on getting just the bolt on kit. That I can justify to the wife and if I destroy one on a rock maybe the wife will let me go for the Lever. I know the rear will be vulnerable down there but for now...that's the way I've got to go. I'll spend the rest of my money on Speedbumps, driveshafts, and a tuner.

Well, it looks like my build is on hold for a few years. The military decided that I should see Italy before I build up my Jeep up some more. Taking off in a couple of months for a few years. I have to store the Jeep which makes me really sad.
