ICON Front Coilovers

Hmm...

Been thinking of doing a hybrid mutt suspension and have Fox 3.0's up front and my ICON RXT in the rear. Haven't heard of anyone doing this yet, thinking....

If it were something other than my Raptor I would do it.

The ICON 3.0 bypasses I bought from a forum member were worse than described. I can rebuild them easily, but I am almost on the fence to just sell them and buy a new set of Kings before summer.

Years ago my beamed ranger had 10" Fox 2.0 smooth bodies reservoirs in the front, Camburg radius arms, and the rear was Deavers and 18" FOA 2.5 smooth body reservoirs. That was my beater bomb. Probably the most fun I've had in the desert.

I couldn't do the mix-matched deal on this truck

I really don't understand how can you say Icon rears are bad? I had those and nothing but good to say, those were smooth as butter IMHO. I've seen post fronts to be too stiff on small stuff but never felt myself that to be case.
Is there discussion of this somewhere? I have bought different setup already but just out of curiosity i would like to read it.

May i ask that have you been disappointed to Icon coils? I ask these stupid questions since i felt that those were really good shocks. I do understand that you guys might have used to have softer suspension then us European guy's. I tried truck with Fox 3.0's but it had 35" tires and really bad settings on rears so can't really say that those were better or worse.

For replacement pieces, you can't go wrong with any of the 3.0 choices really.

I have ICONs bumpstop and frame support kit. They build impressive quality components

No issues. Just hear that Fox and ICON coil-overs have different technology in regards to how they work. Thought it might be something to consider to see if I could tell any difference. Its just a thought, an expensive thought....

If you're willing to conduct your expensive thought, I would be interested in the ICONs
