Icon Rear Coils ?

[CarolinaTrailEd.]

If I add them do I need to replace the stock shocks on my 2013 TE or will they be ok without changing them?

I know you CAN run longer coils with the stock shocks and there are a couple of folks who have - http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/79394-my-sr5-build.html#post682211

Apparently it keeps the ride closer to the softness of stock, but you do sacrifice overall travel. I don't have experience with it but I am sure someone will chime in on the implications of doing so.

Don't have an answer for your question, but i installed the 5100's all the way around ( set the fronts to the highest setting ) and added 2" toytec superflex coils for the rear. Stiffened up the rear and the handling is so much better. Still have about an inch of positive rake. You should consider putting the bilsteins on the rear. Even if you decide not to put in larger springs, you will appreciate the ride it will give you.

I have MT Icon long travel kit in the rear and my Icon shocks were squeaking, so i had to send them for service and put my stock for time being. I do have the Icon extended coil which are compress on top and spread on the bottom. My stock shocks were stretch to the max and it was really hard driving on the bumps and very loud metal clunk every-time i went over bumps. I was also told not to flex my suspension because other wise i would bottom out the shocks. I can't directly speak for your scenario, but i would not risk it because the Icon coils is longer then stock and your shocks will be stretch more. All though they can stretch, but they not made to be stretch all the time.

You will need to replace the shocks also as the OEM shocks will not be long enough to allow for proper extension. If your concern is cost there are cheaper options other than Icons that will perform nearly as well.

That is what I will do just add the 5100 in the back as well. Thanks I am glad to here about the ride improvement.
