Too close for comfort
Don't know about you all but that is darn close .... I guess if you keep it on the road you should be fine .. Does this package give you more wheel travel similar to the raptor or are they the same as a regular f 150 ? Love your rig .. really looks nice ... !
Its nice to install kits yourself its , rewarding to tell guys I installed it myself instead of telling them it only cost 1000.00 to have it installed .... I give you huge props on the install and thank you for the great thread

The UCA or LCA length doesn't change so the suspension travel or track width is also the same with this setup unlike the raptor which has longer arms for more travel and wider track

Just out of curiosity, how much loss in fuel economy (if any) have you noticed with the truck levelled out? I plan on levelling, and will likely go with the fox 2.0 after reading this thread, but I do a lot of long distance highway driving and probably won't level my truck if it will really hurt my fuel economy. It really starts to add up when I have put 15000km (9300 miles) on my truck in the last 3 months. Thanks.

very tight heim joints, I was worried about these as my biggest concern and what stopped me from going with Icon was all the reports of rattles and them being "loud shocks". thankfully all 4 of my shocks are dead silent. No noise changes from stock except the slight howl from new tires.

truck looks awesome platinum!!!
I just threw these Fox 2.0 on special for those who want them, its like two steps up from the Rancho quicklift or Bilstein 5100s

After the Fox 2.0 front coilover and rear shocks. I have to say I'm extremely happy with the outcome. Gave me about 2" of lift in the front (haven't put a tape measure to it yet to get an exact measurement), and the truck still has just a slight bit of rake to it, which is exactly how I wanted it. Have only driven about 80 miles since putting them on, but my initial impressions are very positive. I can already tell the ride is a bit more firm and steady. No more swaying or bouncing, these shocks are absorbing little bumps, potholes and expansion joints much better than the OEM hardware. Can't wait to get them offroad to see the difference. Overall I couldn't be happier. Wait... I will be happier next week when my new wheels/tires get installed!
