HELP ICON 4.5 INCH LIFT KIT

[lrsfordf350]

Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and currently have a 6.7. I was looking for any input on the icon 4.5 inch lift. Is it REALLY worth the money? How does it hold up? Should i just look at the pro-comp 6 inch stage 2 kit for 800 less? In the end i would like to run 35 inch tires.

Thanks in advance, any input and/or pictures of your trucks can help me tons!!

I wish I wouldn't have tried to save a little money and gone ahead and gone with the icon.... And if you want to run 35's they look perfect with 4.5 lifts.

I have researched for months, and I am set on icon. You can run 35" with a stock truck, so no problems there. 35's do look awesome.

Level 1,2,3,4 or 5?

I have a stage 2 4.5 the quality is much better but ride is about the same as stock. I never owned a different lift but installed a procomp once and there is a significant difference in fit and finish. If you plan on using your truck offroad you are probably better off going Icon.

mine is on a 6.4. I bought it used off here. its just the stage I kit with bilsteins and Its way better then my stock ride. Super easy to install. Only difference between the 08-10 kits and yours i think is the radius arm brackets. Also if your rear axle is a two piece you will want to look into carrier bearing shims or take it to a driveline shop to get you hooked up. ive got some pics of my truck with 35s and this lift. I think it looks really good. you can get away with a leveling kit if you wanted also and some nice shocks.

Big Laing,

I agree with you on the 35s looking good! I was leaning towards the Stage 3 kit.

Thanks for the Input/ pics guys! I really appreciate your ideas as i have been struggling with this choice for a while now. Icon only seems to get better as i learn more about them.

You owe it to yourself to look at the Carli and Pure Performance 4.5" lifts if that is your budget.

Go with the Icon you will be happy.

Whenever I have lift kit questions I give these guys a call.

I have looked at carli quite a bit. I don't want to replace my rear leafs. If $ wasn't an issue I would run icon 4.5 stage 5, ALA, and OUO traction blocks.
