Go with the icon for sure if you have the budget the kit goes on so nice. Everything was really thought out when they built this kit and the suspension is unreal if you take it offroad. It also drives extremely nice. I put 35s on my 4.5 the 37s rubbed a little bit when you turn the wheel all the way. Plus the shocks just look badass

Your truck looks awesome! Thats a good combo that you have there. I am really falling for the icon kit. What size block did you use in the rear? To get the same amount of lift as you in the rear would i have to opt for the 6 inch block since my truck is an f-350? (larger stock block)

Thats a good question im not 100% what you would need for the f350. I would call them and ask them. There customer service is great and if you have any questions throughout install you can call them and they answered any questions I had

As George mentioned, we have several options available within the same price point of the ICON kit and may be better suited for your performance goals. Let me or SKYD RAM know if you have any questions and we'll be happy to assist you!

The full replacement leafs are an option. The kits come standard with a mini pack that replaces the overload leaf. This improves the ride, helps to limit wheel hop, and keeps the block heigh down to reasonable size. If you opt for the full leafs the ride is even better and it eliminates the blocks altogether.

I will have to look again. What setup and price if I wanted to just do the front 4.5", Plus the shocks for the rear going up 2-3"?

I would only want the shocks in the rear, as I would like to run OUO track blocks in the rear.

Thanks.

Another vote for ICON. We will be doing a 4.5" kit on our new 2012 F250, you will not find a better riding kit on the market. Feel free to give us a holler if you have any questions, we carry all the mentioned kits and can give you some insight on each one.
