Icon 2.5 Extended Travel VS King 2.5 OEM Extended Travel

[Superdannyboy]

I’ll be honest that blows… if they cost more then fox, king or ads because they do not compare or hold up to them.. it’s good you have been lucky and haven’t had a blow out but do be prepared for it to happen I know a lot of people that had icon on their truck/Jeep and all of them have replaced them and wish they never bought them… ya most company’s costumer service now days sucks fox was okay when I got my exit travel for my tacoma but it still took 4.5 months for them to show up… pushing your truck isn’t the problem here now it for sure if fun because well I did that with my tacoma and beat the ever living piss out of it and followed people I shouldn’t have and went on trails I shouldn’t have but oh well the problem is icon just doesn’t hold up sadly if they hold up for you well then you are rare because I can tell you on the Toyota side of things everyone stays far away from icon unless they are knew and see the price and go wooow that’s a good deal for all this! When in reality you will Be replacing them within a year… and I agree fox has honestly the best pedigree for performance shocks because of how long they have been around but they have had issues with the 2.0 rear shocks just two years ago where the shaft would snap off but that was the 2.0s and you really are not meant to push those lol

I had a local shop tune my rear icon 2.5's and he was like these are relatively new? He was pretty much saying that they shouldn't look so crappy so soon and that the oil was crap inside. He said that there was something broke inside one of the remote resi's that he fixed and said that the quality wasn't great and recommended some brand I've never heard of and I can't even remember now. I was just skeptical because he builds shocks for a living and I didn't know him well personally. So far they ride great great but from now on I will probably try to stick at least a 6" stroke shock in any truck that I'm trying to keep mostly stock.

Ya I’ve heard that before with em… it’s honestly a shame because they usually come at cheaper then all other brands so it’s a good entry level setup but they just don’t hold up sadly… I’d love to go ext travel with my ranger but I don’t plan to wheel it like I did with my tacaom I just want to camp so I’ll be sticking with some basic and strong setup that won’t fail on me

I think the internal spacer is .8" and then you can see the external spacer circled on the shaft that's like an inch. So I think you could make it like a 7" shock.
