The Icon road fine. But I had the 4.5" hanger kit that used stock springs. The ride was actually better than my 2012.

I was thinking about that, but I dont know how Id feel with blocks for the rear lift. Also, do you have the zone shocks? I hear that the fox shocks are way better but unknown if you can change shocks when ordering.

I have no problems with blocks on my rear..they dont stack blocks.
As for shocks I got the Nitro Zones no problems their also.
I ordered my Zone kit direct from Zone Off Road, they are great to work with...I did call them a few times no problems with getting a hold of them.

Oh okay, so they take out the old block and just use theirs? For the shocks, did you just tell them you didn't want there shocks and they adjusted the price? Sorry for all the questions, I'm new with buying lift kits and wheels. Thanks for everyone's help I appreciate it.

Ya just take out the factory block and replace it with the new block...
The shocks that I have are the Zone Off Road brand upgrade "Nitro".
Dont worry about the questions....thats what were hear for to help eachother.

BDS and Zone I believe are the same. One is the budget version and less of a warranty.

Also a Leveling kit in front and F350 blocks in rear will clear 35" tires. F350 blocks not required unless you like the factory raked stance. There are two types of blocks make sure you order the correct ones for your wheel base length.
