Icon Hanger kit???

Several ??????'s
1. Has anyone put the Icon 3" hanger kit on their truck?
2. How easy is it to put on?
3. Like or dislike?
4. What size tire can you put on?
I am looking at keeping my 35" tires. I don't mind if I have to do a little bumper trimming.

Thanks

I have the 4.5 system

Installation is pretty straight forward, you are going to need some big, tall jack stands to rest the frame on while dropping the front axle.

I like it because it retains the factory ride, however if your front springs are worn out you may as well change them at the same time

How tall of jackstands? I'm getting ready to do this soon and need to know if I have to gather any tools or stuff.

Chris, when I installed the lift on my truck I had some stands that would go up to 24" and those where marginal for getting it done.

I have these now and the extra height they provide is nice to have, they go up to about 29 "

OTC OTC1784C Pair of 12 Ton Ratchet Style Jack Stands

Ideally a large and small set of jack stands and two floor jacks will allow the install to go smoothly however it could be done with alot less
