icon vs rough country

4banger · #1 (**permalink**) 03-30-2010, 11:05 PM

i am looking at a 4inch lift

icon i have seen for 1699 - made in usa
rough country 891 + 310 for bilstein shocks + pitman arm 50 but some parts made in china

what would you do?

Do yourself a favor and drink cheep beer for a few weeks to save up the extra $448. You will be thankful many times over that you went with Icon.

I have the 4.5" Rough Country lift and it is very well made and I tow a trailer with mine. The shocks arent the best though, they are the same frilly junk that Fabtech, Skyjacker etc. uses (all made by same company, different sticker)

The RC kit is a great value and you will be pleased with it especially after upgrading to the Bilsteins.

With a 4 - 4.5" lift you most likely will not need a drop pitman arm, that is why most kits do not come with them.

Seems like the vendors on this site have great prices or you can try ebay....

We sell the Icon, which would definitely be my choice between the two.

This is for the 2001 listed in your sig?
