Coilovers, Yey or Ney?

We have Coilovers in stock, Boss, Bilstein, Icon, and Fox. All nice, all intended for slightly different driving styles...we can match you up with the right set. All adjustable for height while on your truck.

I am currently looking at the Icon Stage 1 setup. Stage 2 has the upper control arms but are they really necessary? I would like to go the full 3". With running the Coilovers at the full 3 inches are there any concerns I should have with normal wear and tear on the ball joints?

We have 3 sets of the Icon Coilovers in stock. We have been running our test truck at 3"of lift since it was 3 days old, no problems whatsoever. While the UCA may not be "necessary" they are nice to have. We found it to make the steering feel a whole lot better. You want Icon...get with me through direct email and I will make you a great deal.

I know that Stage 3 Motorsport's had a truck with the Icon Stage 2 setup with the same size tires I have, but they had aftermarket wheels.

to my knowledge all the coilovers he is talking about work with stock wheels. some upper control arms require either different wheels or spacers, and suspension lifts typically need different wheels due to the spindle being different, but not the coilovers.

Go with coilovers. I had a BDS 6inch put on with the spacers and the ride is not good! Went ahead and had the Fox 2.5 coilover put in the front and the 2.0 in the rear and made a night and day difference. The front coilover is 6 inch Fox 2.5. And I'm running my stock 20's with 295/65/20 Nitto Trail Grapplers.

I have the Rancho 4in Lift with the RS9000XLs. I will eventually pick up the Fox/BDS 2.5 Coilovers with Reservoir and 2.0 Fox Rears. My ride right now is pretty damn good but I imagine it will be a bit better when I get coilovers and 2.0s.
