Everyone is also ASSUMING they haven't been designed for the clocking over. I've only seen one person ever complain (the guy who posted previously) about them not being "correctly" clocked to suit our trucks, which personally isn't enough to base anything off of. Honestly I doubt there is even enough (if any) stress increase to make any difference, and even if there possibly is I bet the system is so overdesigned it still wouldn't change anything. Where I work we have 200% margin on everything, which means you can load something up 3x what it was intended for and it will be totally fine--which I bet the same goes for Icon. After all, as I said, I've seen one person ever complain about this design feature; if something was actually affecting performance many people would be saying something most likely.
Pretty much what I was saying...

What item? We've discussed so many different setups in this thread at this point Im having trouble keeping up![]()
Is the price that is posted in the first post the price? or is different?
The price he has listed is the minimum advertised pricing. I think what he's saying is that if you contact him directly over the phone they can undercut competitors and give you a better deal. They just can't advertise a lower price than what ICON has set as their MAP price. Sounds like they are trying to make their money on volume of sales rather than the intended margin put in place by ICON.Is the price that is posted in the first post the price? or is different?
Any one running the stage 5,if so how's the ride and what rear spring is being used.
So they are selling Taco coilovers for the 4Runner or did they change the top cap to match the 4Runner bucket?
Me too :bigok:

*EDIT* Did I get trolled? Jivnb asked the same exact question earlier, yet the post is now missing and that name is not in the member community list. And why do your posts have some funky website in them that's only visible when you're quoted? Humm.....
I'm pretty sure it will ride like a dream. I'm running the Sonoran Steel 1.2 with the Radflo 2.5" external resi coilovers & shocks with Icon UCAs and am very happy with the ride. The Icon stage 5 kit has the click dials on all the reservoirs to be able to fine tune the suspension even more. Icon makes a fine product so you won't be disappointed. And there's no guess work with mounting the reservoirs, it comes with brackets and everything lines up very easy. I had to get creative with my Radflos and even modify them some, which is a whole 'nother story.
For your rear you could get the Sonoran Steel piece together kit for $500 which has all the Sonoran made stuff like panhard bar, sway bar brackets, diff drop, rear bump stop extensions, etc. You'll still have to get rear springs though so that's up to you to figure out. That all depends on how much weight you are going to be carrying. I have LC80 coils which sit way stinkbug normally but once I have all my camping gear and such loaded up it sits fine. I have friends who got the OME 890s and they were great normally but sagged a lot with all the gear and adding armor to the truck. So decide on what coils you want and plan on added mods like a rear swing out, roof rack, rear storage setup, etc.
Same issue here.
DSM's all day! Best street/strip budget 4 banger on the market. 4g63t 4life!
sorry for my post that adds nothing to this thread
I was thinking about running the toytec super flex rear springs,opinions? The amount of cargo I will have is going to vary from camp gear for two adults and 2 kids,to mountain bike gear, to wheeling gear and photography stuff and at times all of it at once, which is why I want the Icon cdc. I work at a shop that is a dealer for icon and ome. So I know about how well the product is.
Not sure, I've only had stock and now the LC80's, and I've only seen rigs running the OME 890 or 891 which turned out to be too soft. Maybe [MENTION=96608]MandAtaco[/MENTION] or [MENTION=73515]ajonesnv[/MENTION] can chime in on their OME experience.
