Finished up installing my Icon leafs this morning. Option 2. Took the truck on a shakedown along some washboarded dirt roads, crossed some drainage ditches at various angles and speeds and flexed everything a tad before going back to the shop and checking torques.
Ride is superb. Less of the wallow and bounce than the stock springs had. I’m very happy so far.

Topped with Bead Maker

First time (I know) with a PC DA polisher. I’ve always done the work by hand on my cars.

This is the first time I’ve done this to the Raptor in 1.5 years of ownership. Dealer did the PDI. Surprisingly, there wasn’t much paint correction to do except on the doors and tailgate.

Pics that it did happen:

Getting the bed bolts ready for the RPG bed rack and bed supports. These were super simple to peel off. Not a fan on the factory bed liner quality

I just did icon option 2 as well. Did you use stock shackles? I used the rpg for a 1inch drop. Ride even empty is so much better!

Cool! Yeah, stock shackles and Icon extenders for the stock bumps. I figured if it was too high I might put longer RPG shackles on to even it out. That or maybe Eibachs up front. I won’t decide for a few weeks whilst things settle.

Got my JLT mud flaps installed. I didn't really want to do mud flaps, but the KO2s seem to pick up everything and sling it. So function won out over looks.

Did you just cut around the bolt head and peel that off?
Yep, peeled off with my hand once I got one side started. About half of them the center came out too and I just used a pick to get it out if it didn’t peel off with the rest of it.
