Issues With Icon Stage 7 Kit

[miket92]

I have an Icon Stage 7 kit installed for my 2020 4Runner about 2000 miles ago and I have has some issue with it. Trying to figure out if this is something that only I am dealing with or is this expected with these kits? The issues so far have been limited to just having things come loose. I lost both bolts (one on left and one right) for my shocks at different times. And today my rear passenger side lower trailing arm was loose and on the verge of coming off (about 10 miles into a quick off-road trip). Everything was tightened down after the 1st time I lost a bolt off of the shock, it is not like something was missed. Anyone else have this experience?

Loose bolts after off-roading are pretty common. Here are a few things I’ve learned from my experiences:
· Use a medium to high-strength thread locker like Loctite. It really helps keep bolts in place.
· Always properly torque your bolts. After my first off-road trip with a new setup, I re-torque everything because bolts can loosen a bit.
· Check all critical fasteners before and after off-roading. This habit has saved me from breakdowns many times.
