I just had an Icon stage 3 setup and Wildpeak AT 285/70/17s put onto my 2019 4runner and wanted to drop a few notes. Picture is before we adjusted the ride heights.
The good
1. The ride difference is amazing. Why the t4r doesn't ride like this out of the factory I can't explain, but it feels smoother, stiffer, no nose dive anymore and just overall more planted to the ground.
2. It aligned really well and installed fast. The installer (mostly a jeep shop) said that it aligned perfectly and quickly and they had no issues at all with the kit.
3. I did install firestone helper bags in the rear springs to help out with the bumper and when I'm loaded down. They fit perfectly and the air hookups tuck right into the trailer lighting bracket.
4. My first drive of the wildpeaks was during a snow and ice storm. They are pretty amazing and didn't seem to care at all that the pavement was a mess.
5. These tires are silent. I'm coming from nitto terra grapplers that aren't exactly loud, but these are even quieter.
6. I have full skids, replaced the bumpers, winch, tire carrier etc and the icon handles the load like it's running at stock weight.
The less good but not sure I would call it bad.
1. The front tire rubs on the drivers side mudflap. Looking at my truck though for some reason that side flap is bowed out. I'm just gonna heat gun it and bend it back a bit.
2. The sway bar drop kit interferes with the Victory 4x4 front skid plate mounts. The shop was able to move some brackets around though and mount it back up without much drama.
