I bought my Icon lift, but no tires. So I was wondering if I could install at level

If you did want to wait to lift til before you saved up some more dough for tires, this is what i would do:
Install the adjustable coilovers and set them to level the front with the rear.
Also, install the rear ICON shocks but keep the OEM coils.

This way you would have the much better ICON suspension and effectively only level the vehicle. Then when you get bigger tires, adjust the front coilovers and install the rear lift springs. Adjusting the front coilovers is pretty easy. Installing the rear coils later on is also easy. Disconnect sway bar, unbolt the lower shock mount, replace springs, bolt everything back up.
Try and also find an alignment shop that has unlimited alignments for whatever price. Anytime you add or remove any weight or adjust the height, you need a new alignment. Most of the time if you take it in a bare minimum twice the lifetime alignment will have paid for itself. Plus it usually comes with extras like free tire rotations and such.

When I (when I say "I," insert the word "Layton") installed my Icons, I still had the stock 16" BFGs and UCAs.

Hahaha.

Thing is I only want to bother you once with the install. jajajaja

Don' t worry about the install, we got you covered.

Nice, it doesn't look as bad as I assumed it would. I wonder with an inch lift would I still fit in my P garage

After I lifted mine, I couldn't get into the garage at Lakeway 3. That was another reason for getting that sexy Honda Insight!

Everyone have a safe and Happy 4th!

Yeah, Layton gave me a tug to get my front end down. The mud and the ravine kept putting me on the same track.

I hate it when that happens

actually, front tire lifts don't scare me much, but when the rear goes up on a downhill . . .

 

[Bang Bang]

Right there with you Claudia. If I thought the e-brake would actually hold it, I would have gotten out to pose for those pics. But rear wheel stands going downhill......I need to change my shorts after some of those.

Chatooga River Rafting

Hey gang, I was with my daughters (The one in the front is my 12 yr old and the one by me is my 13 yr old) in South Carolina for a soccer tournament recently and on the way home we ventured off for some whitewater rafting on the Chatooga River. We had a blast and would recommend it to anyone !! I was wearing a Landcruiser shirt and the guide loved it. He went on to tell me how his dad had a fj62 when he was growing up etc.. I had a LLK shirt in my bag and gave it to him. He loved it and said it will get worn regularly around the river!!

That's awesome... Great pics, too!
