Icon install

First off, thanks to KodeRush, eddiebx, sp8ball for their awesome write ups. If I had any questions on what to do next, the write up produced by these lads was extremely helpful. My goal - improve the stock ride quality - support Shrockworks bumper - be able to handle the occasional off road trip Parts installed: Icon 58746C (CDC Valve and standard coils rated to support 130lbs) Icon 52700-rear springs Icon 56505- rear shocks The install went fairly well...it took me around 8 hours to get it done. I am not extremely mechanically inclined and was able to knock it out. I did read and re-read directions to make sure I was doing things properly. All in all, I think I did a great job and the ride seems great! I did go to get an alignment today from Firestone and when I went there, they were unable to produce an After alignment sheet (printer was broken)...they only had before. When I told them I wasn't going to pay for it they offered to prove to me by throwing it back on the alignment rack and looking at the specs. This went bad for them. Although the specs were much better than before, they were all still out of spec. The manager got embarrassed and told me that he would not charge me. Before Alignment After Alignment As you can see, they did *something* but didnt quite bring it home. I got approx 3" of lift in the front and rear from 2" set springs..so I am hoping they will settle. I did not adjust the front coilovers bc they are supposed to come with 2" preset. I plan on putting my Shrockworks bumper on this weekend so I will probably wait to get a real alignment until then. Question: will driving it 50 miles/day create bad wear on my tires? Also, it seems on average it took people a couple months for the springs to settle, did anyone have this happen sooner?

I adjusted my icons about 1/2" and noticed the ribs of the CV are touching. I am at 23.5" from center of the hub to the fender and less that 2" of threads showing on the icons.

I've got an alignment set up for tomorrow but am thinking I may need to adjust my coils to get the ribs to tocuh less?

Any thoughts?
