80 shock thread - familiar territory could use update

[RhinoFZJ80]

So I should wait till January to do these?

 

[LFD2037]

These should be available in January

 

[hamishpotter]

definitely interested in a set of those

Looks like I'm waiting a little longer to pull trigger on lift.

 

[Death Star]

January works for me. Good timing, actually. Any idea of price point?

 

[mechanist]

@DylanICON Any pre-Christmas walk-in specials? I'll be right down Arlington over the holidays and I really need me some suspension.

Actually I would never take a break on price. You guys do awesome stuff and should be paid handsomely for it. See you in December

 

[Death Star]

I'm really mostly interested in 2 to 2-1/2" of lift. Will these net a full 3" with a bumper and winch or will they compress? I think 3" would look funny with my 33s.

I think it'd look perfect, in fact that's my goal!

its just at 3" on ours with a light bumper and winch with synthetic line

total weight on our 80 is about 5750#

lift is a little tough to verify lift because all stock references are sitting on 20 year old springs.

 

[DylanICON]

I'm hesitant to quote cost yet but it will be a bit higher than our FJ expedition coils based on size.

 

[DylanICON]

The springs will be available a-la-cart.
Complete systems will be paired with shocks (at each stage), front sway bar drops, castor bushings, and break lines

What shocks will be specific for these 3" springs?

 

[AutoCraft Aus]

Be interesting to see how they go price wise vs the Aus version with the 1/3 price reduction of the Aus $.

Hopefully they will work with a full 12" stroke shock, rather than just the 670mm long ones ?

Funny I tripped over this thread, I was going to call Icon today to ask what 4" spring they recommend to get the best possible ride on/off road with 2.5 CDC shocks.

Excited to hear they are working on matching springs

 

[SammyT96LX450]

Subscribed....I'm searching for a 3-4 inch spring solution as well.

 

[jeffro109]

Any upcoming Icon advances in the 0-1" lift market?

My current thought was the Fox 2.0 shock at around ~$110 each and retaining my OME stock height springs.

That's why is Americans need to buy yours! Can you not ship here or does shipping prices kill the deal or?

 

[tacosupreme]

@DylanICON will the bump kits for the FJC or 4runner fit the 80?

 

[Qball]

If shipping is an issue and since I'm in LA area, in open to a group buy/bulk shipping/distribution.
