Both issues important in areas that see road salt in the winters.
But the salt can eat the clear on the Icons as well so I recommend spraying down either shock with wd-40 or something similar to prevent any corrosion in the winter months in areas with road salt.
Valving and ride quality are very similar assuming you'd run the 5100s valved specifically for the Super Duty.
Hope this helps.

That helps a whole lot.
I was actually planning on more then likely ordering from you guys, whichever one's i go with.
Do the 5100's come valved for the SuperDuty if i order them from you guys, or is that something extra i have to get done.
Are the Icon's already valved for the Super Duty's?
