Icon Leveling Kit Installation

I am going to have the Icon leveling kit installed tomorrow morning and was wondering if those that have had the kit installed if there are any reasons for keeping the old parts (front springs, track bar, old rear blocks)? Maybe just in case I have any problems would it be a good idea to hold on to them for a few weeks?

I trade trucks each year so I keep my Icon for the new truck. Other than that, chuck them. Ive had the same Icon stuff for four trucks. Theyre awesome.

The ride on the system is great so far. The ride is firm yet it soaks up the bumps with no problems. My speedo is off by about 3 mph though so I need to watch my speed and my TPMS light stays on. A few places tried to reset the TPMS but it goes back on after about a day, the dealer will not re-program. Not sure why though since they always have at least three lifted trucks on their lot and none of the lights are on for those trucks and they all are sporting tires with a max 65psi. The Icon ride is well worth having to put up with the TPMS light though. I have 21K miles and when it hits 60k, H&S will be installed and bye bye to DEF fluid...... wait maybe 50k will be close enough.

Just finished the install and Wow! Makes a hell of a difference. The ride is: smoother and more controled.



I like the caster change shim/sleeve.

The axle has to swing way down to slide in the new springs.

Love the shocks.
