Finally leveled it out and got my control arms on the other day. Next it goes to the body for mild repair and body chop mod.

Since it seems the intake restrictor delete has been getting a lot of attention, I made a thread about it so it hopefully doesn't get lost. Here it is for anyone interested. Glad you guys are enjoying it, always love to contribute and help fellow T4R owners!

The height is about 32.75 when installed. I am running 50 psi on all 4 corners.
Is that "restrictor" for increased protection from water infiltration into the intake? Why would that be in there?

Icon Stage 7 Lift in progress
I've been working on the ICON stage 7 tubular lift for a few days now. I'm almost done. Today I lowered the axle to add ICON 2" lift springs. Then I lifted the back axle slightly to get the extended travel rear shocks into the top mount.
To learn how to do this myself I watched a few YouTube videos. I'm reading all the ICON instructions and a thread by @eddibx as I go. ICON gives you instructions for each part but no order of operation for the entire system - or which part goes on first.

Thanks for the great write up Eddie.
Now, seeing how easy it was to pull the springs out, I can't figure out what holds the axle up to the frame when the wheels droop in an off-road situation or you catch a little air on the road. Is it the shock?
I don't like where the rear shock remote reservoir is to be mounted - on the frame behind the fender liner. You can't very well reach the adjuster knob. Going to mount them tomorrow morning.
Does anyone have comments or suggestions for the last two points above.
I have a few details to finish tomorrow and then I'm done. Track bar to be replaced too.
Somehow I got 4" to 5" of lift in front from coil-over shocks that were intended to provide 2&1/2" to 3" of lift. Hoping it will settle down because I don't want 5" of lift. I did adjust the spring cap down to nearly the max recommending setting, moving it 1/2" down from the ICON factory setting of 1&1/2".

I find it easiest if you get the Tapatalk app on your phone. Then you can upload your pics directly from the phone.
That looks too familiar.. is that Red Cliffs desert reserve above St George Blvd?

Break the shock, lose the spring.
Sounds like you need to adjust your coilovers. I doubt they will settle 2inches.

Any rattling from the transfer skid plate? That is the only thing that has been holding me back purchasing that one.
