Will It Work?? Rancho 4 Inch Lift With Icon Stage 2 Suspension System???
I am going to lift my truck. I was debating between rancho lift and icon stage 2. I decided I wanted the Rancho. But today I was thinking. Would the Icon
coil-overs, rear shocks and the UCA's still fit on the truck even if it gets lifted, or would they not extend far enough? If not the rear shocks, would the front still fit? The Icons are capable of leveling the truck 3 inches so does that mean they should have enough travel for the 4 inch Rancho kit?
FYI: Obviously to keep system integrity I would change the rear blocks out for a Deaver mini pack.
Its an 09 Platinum 4x4

A lot of people install coil-overs and UCA's on top of 'traditional' lift kits.
You'll have threaded shock bodies on your coil-overs, so you'll set their ride-height obviously after you've installed the Rancho components(spindle, diff and sway drop brackets, cross member etc..).

If so, travel will be PLENTY
As far as where to set them, as I wrote you'll need to set their ride height after you install the Rancho lower-end components so you have a baseline to start with.
The lower end components are usually good for about 2", so theoretically you'll only need 2" out of the Icons to achieve what the Rancho top-end components would've given you. If you simply got spacers with the kit, then you'd be stuck with what you actually ended up with.
With height-adjustable coil-overs you can obviously adjust that incrementally, so you can set 'em wherever you need to, in minute increments if need be.
I have Fox 2.5s, which the Icons are designed after, and right now I have 'em +3" over stock, and like I said in my first post, I could conceivably jack 'em up as much as I had the strength to add preload to the spring(s)

You just need to specify how much taller than stock your rear end is after you've lifted it when you order the shocks(+1",+2",+4" etc.).
