Rear Icons Installed

[Jerrygfd]

Finished installation of my rear Icon shocks I received from Greg today. I had to install them with boot down because they were designed that way. I tried to reach Greg to ask him but called Vehicle Dynamics and spoke to Jeremy. He confirmed that the shock designed required installation boot down. Anyway, a very noticeable difference and comfort in the ride especially on dirt roads, a lot smoother. Now I just have to call Greg and confirm the correct SAW's for the front before I order them.

The Bilstein 5125 that Greg sells for slightly less than the ICONs are also great shocks and mount boot up. http://www.prgproducts.com/shop/prod...n_rear_shocks/

$10 difference, and if you read Greg's description he seems to favor the Icon.

The ICONs are limited to 2" rear lifts, (except a 2wd can go up to 3" if they use the 4x4 version). The Bilstein 5125s are available in several lengths.

Hawaiianbasshead doesn't want boot-down, so these are a good option.
I used to run the Bilsteins and they were great. The DREs, (ICONs), are also nice. I think the 0-3" Bilsteins are firmer.

[Hawaiianbasshead]

so, how much lift will a 2.5" deaver add on a 4wd?

[NorCal 4x4]

The PRG/Deaver C10 will give 2.5" of lift to a 4x4.

The PRG/Deaver C30 will give 3.5" of lift to a 4x4.

yeah, I just gathered that on his site, sounded like 4wd is 1" taller stock from the leafs being different is what I gathered... but I could be wrong...

last question, Greg only sells 2 models of SAW 2.25" rears correct? so the one in the classified would work with a 2.5" deaver spring on my 4wd it looks like I don't mind a rake a little and want shocks

Yeah, Greg said something about the spring perch on the 4x4s being located different.
The one in the classified by Gonpostal is the longer one, "2-4" rear lift 4wd". So it should work with both the C10 and the C30 PRG/Deavers on a 4x4.
