I'm assuming the Icon kit is totally complete as well? No extra parts needed for pitman arm adjustment, alignment cams, etc?

Also, to do a setup like TXfireman's, what all would be needed in addition to the regular 4.5" kit?

You guys build some great looking trucks by the way...site rocks too!

Thanks!

Thanks for the compliments on the site and the trucks

Yes, the Icon is a complete setup.
You do need the carrier bearing shim kit as well if you have a two piece driveline in the rear.

A dual stabilizer setup is also a huge benefit on the 05+ trucks, IMO.

You can add the shim and stabilizer via the "Customize" button on our site.

To do a 5.5" You'd add a 1" TEI spacer for the front:
Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2005-2008 FSD 1" T.E.I. Technology Relocation Bracket Kt - Front Coil Spacers - Truck Toyz Store

In the rear you can either step up to a 6" block or do a One Up Offroad 6" Traction Block...both of which you can do via the Customize page (not sure if you have a 05-07 or 08-09.....here's 05-07):
Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2005-2007 FSD SRW 4.5 Inch Suspension System - Truck Toyz Store


Or if you have a 05-07 we could do a Icon 5" rear spring.

I've got a B&W in mine that I use on occasion. Just curious if the 4.5" ICON kit would make that more difficult or compromise my towing/carrying capability.

Thanks!

The Icon 4.5" uses a block in the rear so towing capability is unchanged assuming the tire/wheel combo you use is sufficiently rated for the application.

OUO Traction Blocks in the rear is the ultimate setup overall and the best for towing.

If you do the Icon 5" rears, they are a little softer than stock and thus will sag more under load.


Let me know if you have any questions.
