Spring height comparisons Icon stage 1 OME Heavy F/ Medium R Hard to tell a difference from the pictures

Attached is a picture of my rig with OME heavy front and medium rear. Icon sits approximately 3/4 inch taller in the front and 1/4 inch taller in the rear. I have just a little stinkbug maybe 3/16. My rig is very light I have an ARB bumper with no winch. And a Weather Guard Rat Pack box with...

I love the stance and the ride. I was originally running an OME lift, heavy in the front and medium in the rear. I have less stinkbug with the Icon

I am running the Icon stage 1 lift with an ARB bumper and no winch. Just a little stinkbug here.

F Wanted to share my custom pneumatic quick disconnect and mounting set up. I have an ARB air compressor that I use for my air lockers and inflating my tires. I got tired of lifting my hood every time I needed air. I wanted the plan was to add a quick disconnect to my front bumper. My...

Yesterday I decided to pull the trigger on an ICON stage 1 suspension. I am very excited to get it on my truck and test her out. Thank MUD for all you input.

Yes, I sold my BJ74 to Mike and ended up but a ton of gear from him when he worked with ARB. I dont know anybody in my area with progressive springs on a 80 series but I believe the Jeep JK unlimited came stock with progressive spring. Somewhat similar suspension at least in the rear. Not the...

No, I have not looked into tough dog, but I will! How much extra weight have you added to your truck?

I just got off the phone with the guys at ICON. They told me that they designed their suspension around a stock 80 with a front bumper and winch, aluminum rear bumper and aluminum roof rack. Guy I talked too says it rides very simmalar to stock with little weight added. Sounds like the best...

I just spoke with the guys at Down South Motorsports any they told me that if my truck is oversprong changes the shocks in not going to change much. Basically that I need appropriate spring travel for the shock to do its job. I think that everybody agrees that OME suspensions are designed for...
