Default King, Icon or Fox?

I am upgrading my suspension soon but am overwhelmed with all the shock, coilovers and companies out there. I do quite a bit of offroading and the streets here in Calgary are the worst. I like a nice smooth soft ride so what would you suggest for coil overs. I can thinking icons, fox 2.5 or king 2.5. Any tips would be great!

Pretty expensive coilover choices. Unless you're doing some serious offroading i'd tone it back a little. You're about to drop $2500+ on coilovers.. All 3 brands are top notch.. I'd do King 2.5 If i was into constant mudding/rock climbing...

I'd stick with Rancho Quicklift, F150lift, or Blistein 5100 coil springs..

Icon seems to have the best R&D department and offer the best ride out of the box.
