Looking for recommendations on Suspension setup that won't beat us up.

Update, I ordered Westcott front suspension pre-collar Kit and ICON 1.75" springs. 3 weeks ago I attempted the install and ran into a problem disassembling the coil-overs at home. I cut my losses and reassembled the truck before I passed a point of no return.... I started pricing the install at a shop at a couple locations. Turns out installs were running approx $1k. I reconsidered my options and came across a set of ICON CDCV adjustable 2.5" shocks. I couldn't pass up the deal so I grabbed them, had them rebuilt and just Installed them. So far I am extremely pleased with the ride quality. Feels planted and smooth, and parking lots speed bumps and hard driveways are nowhere near as harsh.

I just installed Dobinson IMS shocks and springs. Very happy with the setup.

Good luck with the Icons. I passed on them because of all of the reports of breakage/failure. I hope you have better luck.

Thoughts on the Ironman FCP suspension?

I had it on my 2013 Land Cruiser and it rode like a Super Duty pickup. I replaced it with Dobinsons MRA, and that is where it is at. I have driven 200 series with Fox 2.5 adjustable and OME BP-51. Dobinsons MRA is smoother with less body roll IMO.

Did you install in the front only or at all four corners?

I had a long conversation with the tech that rebuilt these for me. He said he gets shocks of All Brands, Kings included that come in leaking. He said icon gets such a bad name because they produce nearly 10 to 15 times more product than any other Builder and so there's more eyes on the failures. However they tend to have about the same failure rate

They're the only ones I've seen pictures posted of repeatedly that break the top mount off.

So here is the Final Product. After lift install was able to get 295/70/18's installed. Ride is extremely smooth, and absorbs road imperfections with ease. Between lift and tires I gained 4.75' in the front and 3.25" in the rear Measured at the Fender
