Bilstein 5160 vs. Icon 2.0

[BOFFROAD]

I will be purchasing a lift in about a month or so. As of now I am 85% sure I want Icon coilovers on the front. I am 50/50 on if they will be remote reservoir or not. I understand the benefits of the reserviors, however, my question is.

For the rear, should I get the Bilstein 5160's (remote resi) or the Icon 2.0's (non resi)? They are roughly the same price.

The always helpful guys at DSM called Bilstein for me last week and reported back that 5160's are backlogged in production right now and won't be available until "after the new year." Just a head's up.

I bought Icon 2.0 resis to match Icon coils.

Your coils are an equal part of this equation, so research what might work best for your needs. Stock, FJ, OME, and Icon's all have their own characteristics. Also, your needs (rear bumper, armor, towing, etc.) will dictate your choices.

Good luck!
