I have it installed and driving on it for about 9000 miles now. What are your questions?

@csukoh78 What is your take on the ride quality from factory. Railroad tracks, potholes that kind of thing.

I just installed the Eibach lowering springs with the Icon Camber and Bump stop corrections as well. I have to say I am not that excited about the rear ride quality. It feels way more jolty. I like the new sporty handling and less body roll but I think the ride comfort suffered a great deal.

I may have to fork out the dough for the ICON coilovers.

when I first lowered it with the stock springs, I hated it. Because they are progressive springs, the first 2 inches of compression are where all your comfort is so when you take 2 inches out, it's like you're riding with a straight axle rigid suspension vehicle which wasn't fun

When I went to icon, it definitely felt more planted but I took it all the way down for the best looks and it was far too rough for my tastes

After much trial and error, I found the sweet spot. It rides a lot better, the Jets are slightly more jarring compared to the stock suspension but the truck handles much better, as if on rails, very little body sway or dive/lift during stopping or acceleration.

I did a post with what I think is the perfect set up for icon. The truck is significantly lower but handles better, more like a sports car and less like a Cadillac.

Thank You for all those details! That is what I needed to hear. I'm going to order the Icons. Literally 24 hours with the Eibachs and what a waste that was. Love the stance though.

I like the black wheel combo a lot better than the bronze you had before.

Thank you. Modified vr-604s to fit ford badges. I love them.
