One other question for ya. Do the Icon 2.0 v.s. w/ resi. Leak pretty fast and have to be rebuilt often? I guess for me often would be like every 5,000-15,000mi. I would like to get at least 50,000 w/o issues but donÂ’t know anything about shocks like these. Before I order just making sure thereÂ’s no downside like that.

I put Firestone airbags on the rear to avoid shock fade with the BOSS monotube shocks, don't need resi shocks. Rear articulation is still good because I remove the rear sway bar. The airbags can be pumped up to handle highway speeds instead of the rear swaybar, deflate for offroad articulation.
Airbags are a cheap alternative to expensive rear suspension mods, especially if you tow. I tow 4klbs and still go offroad once I unhook. Everything is compromises be it cost, offroading, towing.
You put those lift coils on and longer shocks on the rear you won't get the additional articulation until you remove the rear swaybar. Then when you remove the rear swaybar the brake lines get stretched so you have to add extended brake lines.
