Icon Lift Height Help

[BigEyeDuck]

OK guys and gals, noob here. Just purchased a used 2017 ORP with an ICON stage 3(?) and a 2" lift (Per the dealer I bought from) with only 4100 miles. 4Runner is basically new interior and exterior. Just want to know what I bought.

The dealer is a dealer that re-sells premium cars because he gets trade in's from area dealers that they cannot move or want to move i.e. my TRD ORP with an ICON stage 3 aftermarket traded into a Volvo Mazda VW dealer.
Previous owner traded in for a Volvo XC90, which he also lifted.

Anyways, I was told this is a ICON stage 3 with a 2" lift.
I am wondering if this is actually a 3" lift??
I feel this is a little high for a 2". The tires are 285/70R17 Mud Terrains.

I will be visiting a local ICON dealer to get some additional info, if possible on what is actually installed.

Please Help.

That's like super low.

Do you drag the tires on your body mounts when you back up on full lock to the left or right or during hard braking?

Without before and after height measurements, it’s hard to tell exactly how much lift is in the front. The good thing is that it’s adjustable. If it’s too high for you, then just crank up on the collars to lower the front and vice versa to lift it. The rear coils should have a part number stamped on them.

not too high. I was just getting a mixed message from the seller who in return didn't have the whole story. My plan is to replace the mud terrains with an All Terrain tire and that will drop the height a smidge.

You can measure the distance from the top of the adjustment perch to the top of the threads where they stop. I think you can go up to 2.17" gap between the two. (I don't have the icon instructions in front of me)

See what the setting looks like. After mine settled I ended up cranking up the drivers side alot to get the truck to sit level. You'll need to buy an icon wrench to make adjustments, or use a really large punch and a small pipe to act as leverage. See what the settings are now and it will give you an idea of how much if any, adjustment there is left to raise it if that's what you want to do. It's not just a 2" lift, it's fully adjustable (granted there is a max you can go before risking too much pre-load on the coils which is the measurement noted above or there abouts)

Holy shit, this happens you me when I back up and lock to either side.
Would you happen to know the reason and adjustments needed? Trying not to go with a BMC...

You don't have enough lift, I have 3" and it's WAAY more than your lift, and my tires were still dragging and I needed to do a chop.

I would seriously consider getting 275s the next time you buy tires if you don't want to redo the suspension. That will also hit the body mounts during panic braking, which is a truly unpleasant experience as the ABS tries to figure out WTF is happening.

ICON lift from dealer

Download the instructions for your front shocks from the ICON website. Make sure you have the shock part number right. As another poster said, there's a limit to how far you can raise the front by adjusting the front shocks. It's in those instructions. ICON also has a video on YouTube about adjusting the front shocks.

When you adjust the front shocks be sure to lift the frame and place jack stands under the frame. Let the suspension hang. You may have to remove the wheels and tires once it's on the jack stands. Don't work on the suspension or under a car on a jack - use jack stands.

Check KDSS lean of the whole car by measuring from the wheel center to the wheel well rim above that center while the car is sitting on all four wheels. The left and right should be the same at both the front and back. It's common to get lean after lifting the truck. There are two ways to limit the lean: adjust the front shocks or add a spacer to one of the back springs. I added a 10 mm spacer to mine and it worked.

If you have any questions on what lift you have, feel free to ask me!
That picture does look like its 2" in the rear, you can check by looking at the part number on the rear spring, the 2" will have part number 158506. As for the front coilovers, they are adjustable up to 3.5" of lift. (just dont exceed 2 1/8" of thread showing from the top cap to the adjuster nut) about every 4 full rotations of that adjuster nut should get you around 1/2" of lift.

If you have any other questions, feel free to PM/Email/ Call me
