Any updates?

I am trying to weigh options between rear kits and would like all the data for options.

A question is what additional components would be needed outside the "kit" for towing. You mentioned helper springs.


Our ICON spring pack will offer the ability to be configured to 3 different rates that will be further defined later this week. The spring pack will have a "heavy duty" configuration available (all parts will be provided when purchasing the ICON spring pack to do this).

What I mentioned in that post is that our trailer is equipped with load leveling assist bars. This is a system where you attach bars from both sides of a special hitch and run back to the side v rails of the trailer with heavy tension to help remove load off the back of the truck. This would be the only thing I could think of that would be beneficial outside the kit if you are towing a heavy bumper pull trailer.

Any ideas on what lead time will be for shipment after the announcement?

Here are a few photos from final testing and media filming Tuesday at the Johnson Valley OHV park.

Based on the images, your rear suspension design is just beefier rear shocks? Or is it new leafs and shocks?

Sorry for the direct question as I am trying to see how it is different than other option out there for owners.
