Just installed Icon suspension today. It's perfect! Along with spidertrax spacers.

PERFECT STANCE !!! Looks fantastic :bigok:

yes I would like to know about the ride and how many inches of lift you got out of it.
 
Ride is much better. Firm and less marshmellow like.

I ended up with 3" lift front, 2" rear. I left the coilovers the way they came- which was 1 1/4" of thread showing. So I could crank it down another 3/4", but I like the stance the way it is. It may settle down a bit further as it breaks in- I only drove it 2 miles so far. I need to get it aligned now.

Here's the coilovers compared to stock. Check out the piston shaft diameter!

Lift was $1300. I installed it myself with a friend helping- took half a day. Tires run about $130 each if I remember right- got them at 4wheelparts. Got 5 so the spare matches.
 
Yes, sport edition. Rides better than it did before. Yes a little stiffer. Rear is 15% stiffer than stock, not sure of the front spring rate. It really feels just fine though. I highly recommend it. Best mod I did to the truck- but I actually go off-road. For a street driven truck, not as much benefit. Did lose 2mpg from the higher ride height.

Were the spacers required or were they just for the looks ?

Not required at all. For looks and also stability- having your track 2.5" wider helps offset the fact that it's riding 3" higher. I had to reposition the front fender liners forward to keep the tires from rubbing. Easy to do, removed the three screws and backings that hold the liner in place, moved the liner forward an inch, and screwed the screws back through the liner. It's very soft plastic and went right in. No rubbing now.
