Icon spring/shock swap flex test.

[JWNissan]

I swapped out the oem coils/shocks for an Icon stage 3 suspension kit with no other supporting mods like end links or radius arms. The setup works pretty well. She still needs a bit of tire clearance work in the rear to max out flex but I'll wait until I replace the end links to see where that puts the tires. Without lockers, I need all the flex I can get right now.

Lift: Icon stage 3 kit approx. 3" lift.
Wheels: Fifteen52 Analog_HD 17x8.5 +00
Tires: Nitto Trail Grappler 37x12.5r17

Nice 80! Is it the frame or the fenders limiting travel in the rear? How about the front? Extended bump stops?

I need to get a better look at the rear. I was in a rush and the tire was so close to the flare I didn't want to risk cracking it. I dropped it and I trimmed the inside of the flare a little before heading out on a trip. No time to put the forklift on the rear tire to tuck the front. I definitely need to extend the bumpstops and replace them with PerryParts units. I run them on my other vehicles and they work great.
