Can you be a little more specific? ICON in google resuled in 649,000,000 results. What is the full name and what do they make/provide/manufacture/etc... I've never heard of them.

ICON suspension resulted in 541,000 hits with mostly stuff on lamps.

It really sucks what happened to Marty, but that wouldn't change my decision on what is best for my truck or I. So I will hold on and see how the new owners destroy or improve there new investment.

As for product.....quite a few manufacturers also stepped tup the game for the 05+ trucks (i.e. RIZE and Full Traction).

It was the 99-04 trucks that DR had a good lock on quality stuff.......but now that they ditched Deaver a while back some one could easily work a deal with Deaver and compete.
Full Traction already makes high quality 4.5" hangers like dr did.


Depending on how things work out for them.....and if their competitors continue to step up their game, it may be tougher for them than it had been.

Marty has been around here for a long time and has always went above and beyond to help folks on here with their questions about lifts, even when he knew they may buy their kits elsewhere. That says a lot about him, and he has earned my respect. When I finally buy my kit, it will be from Marty. If he isn't selling ICON, then it won't be an ICON.

If Marty decides to carry them, then and only then would I buy from their product.
