Icon Suspension Issue

[lewisp]

I have a 2015 Toyota 4Runner Trail Premium (Non-KDSS). Suspension is Icon Coilovers with external reservoirs and CDC valves (Ext travel). I have had the driver side lean and can’t seem to alleviate it with adjusting my Icon Coilover.

Basically just trying to get the the thing level with the passenger side but no matter how many times I crank it, the truck still leans on the driver side. Icons instructions say not to crank past 2.13in of exposed thread, which is where I’m currently sitting after adjusting it. I can’t crank anymore for more lift. When jacking up the truck, the passenger side tire always comes off the ground before the driver side as well, which doesn’t seem right.

I cranked it four times to get to this point.

Here are my measurements before and after adjustment from center hub to fender:

Before
Left front 22 5/8” Right Front 23 3/4”
Full droop 26 1/2 Full droop 27”


After
Driver Side After four turns:
Left Front 23 1/8” Right front 24 1/2”


So my questions to suspension professionals are:
1) why does the adjustment not level out the vehicle?
2) why does adjusting the driver side lift the passenger side at the same time?
3) Does having uneven suspension and droop cause any issues with shock lifetime and tire wear (tires have been wearing badly with severe cupping) even with rotations every 3,000 miles and leaking shocks all around?
3)is it possible that I was sent an extended travel shock model and standard travel that could cause this issue?
4) Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks

only explanation I can think of is that one of the coils is shorter.

1) You don’t have long travel
2) You just may have been given the incorrect shock length
3) Naturally there is the notorious lean.
4) Shock will be fine as long as you’re not constantly over extending it.

I have a similar problem with my kings. I purchased a 1/4 inch top shim for the front left that will net .5 inch of lift....

Where did you buy it, can you send the link? How did it work for you, did it level you out?

Thanks

I have the exact same problem and it's driving me crazy! The truck on left hand turns feels like its going to roll over.

Same here man, super frustrating!

Sorry for the typo, I meant extended travel. Wish I had long travel.

For me, I only cranked the passenger side 3 turns and the drive side 4 turns. Pretty damn level. I have Icon stage 2.

Icon lift with lean

I have a 2015 Toyota 4Runner Trail ... I have had the driver side lean and can’t seem to alleviate it with adjusting my Icon Coilover.

… Here are my measurements before and after adjustment from center hub to fender:

Before
Left front 22 5/8” Right Front 23 3/4”
Full droop 26 1/2 Full droop 27”


After
Driver Side After four turns:
Left Front 23 1/8” Right front 24 1/2”

It looks like you had about the same lean before the lift. You could have had Toyota fix that before you installed the lift. But maybe you'd still have the lean after changing out the shocks?

Do you have a new UCA? Did you try lowering the right, passenger side? What about the rear measurements, before and after? Did you have it realigned after the lift?

I have the same lift on my 2015 Trail with KDSS. ICON 2.5" extended lift. I got the Stage 7 Tubular kit with the Delta Joint on the UCA. I had similar lean. I added an approximately 1/4 " thick spacer to the rear spring opposite to the high side in front and everything went away. No more lean. The fix was easy and inexpensive. I got the part at 4Wheelers parts. I don't remember the part name right now. I have the receipt in my files. If you need the name send me a PM.
