Wanting a little more lift in the rear.

[NautiqueGuy]

I should just ask my shop, but they’re closed, and you guys know it all...

I had stage 1 icon lift installed. It’s great, but I want another 0.5-1” of lift in the rear. It looks like it’s sitting a little nose high to me.

I know these icons are adjustable, but I assume that just means the front coilovers. I guess I could drop the nose, but that’s no fun.

How could I go about adding a bit more lift to the rear? I have added rear blocks to pickups before, is there a similar product for a 200? Or would different springs be needed?

Thanks for your help!

A spring spacer, also called trim packers, will do the trick. They come in various sizes: 5,10,15,20,30mm and possibly many others. I probably wouldn't do much more than a 20mm spacer for spring stability. Any spacer for an 80/100 series will work for the 200-series.

Thanks. Is this an okay (safe and functional) option? Or just better to put a different spring in?

Yup. Absolutely safe and effective, and is a tool that been used over decades. I have 10mm ones in my LX now, and also had them in my 100-series.

Springs only come in so many sizes. Trim packers are exactly for this type of fine tuning for height, without changing spring rate.

Is there a “best” brand?

Or a few brands that are considered more reputable?
