Increased oil volume to aid in cooling (large bumps at high speed), and potential adjustability.

For sure, all in all better than a regular shock for the money trying to set up an ideal rear end setup to go with icon extended fronts with lr ucas but dont want to spen the more money to charge the extendeds in rear trying to find a solution

Better for what? For a daily driver, I would rather have OEM, Bilstein, or OME. I daily drive mine with Icon, fwiw.

If you already have Icons in front, you should do the Icon rears so your valving is consistent. Make sure to buy the "shin guards" or a shock boot to protect the exposed lower shaft (learned that the hard way). The 2.0 shocks are cheap and don't have any spherical bearings, so less maintenance than the 2.5 shocks.

Its going to be my daily going to be doing alot of trail trips and wanted to get some insight on a combo that will cope good with my front end thats not breaking the bank right off the bat havent installed the icons and ucas yet. eventually will upsize in rear but piggys and coils looked like a decent alternative still a nooob so your help appreciated hah
