Slinky 3" Lift vs Dobinsons 3" Lift

[GW Nugget]

Icon valves the Icon 2.0 and 2.5 specifically for the Slinky lift.

I don't know if Slinky has a US dealer.

The Dobinson 2.5" 146/147vt & yellow 4" shocks are a very great setup.

Sorry to revive an old thread, does anyone know if the Icon shocks included in the slinky kit are valved/tuned any differently than the shocks you can buy directly from Icon for the 80? Also, who is the current go to vendor for slinky kits?

Yes the valving is different on the Slinky shocks. There is no US distributor or dealer currently. You'd have to go directly through the Aussie manufacturer.

I have a hybrid Slinky springs and Dobinson IMS 2.5 They performed great, and just got back from the Rubicon/Fordyce creek trails this past weekend without fuss,

It's the same person its always been. While they had a US distributor he was working under the business name 4xOverlandUSA. But since it's been a while since they had a US distributor he might be working under his original Australian shop name, Autocraft. Darren McRae is the owner. You can try messaging him through the 4xOUSA facebook page, that seemed to be semi-effective for people in the past. You might also check here: AutoCraft - https://www.facebook.com/autocraft.au/ it looks like there are some more recent posts and Darren's email is listed on that page. I'd start there.

Thanks! I've been trying every angle and so far no luck. I'm getting worried I missed my window for a stage 4 kit. :-(

Best bet is to try the email linked to the Autocraft account on FB. Good luck.
