The Icon seems to be heavier duty and simpler (Zone has "plastic" parts for strut and bump spacers). For Zone, each spacer is tuned to within 1/8" for each model, whereas Icon is a generic kit. For the 2dr, the Icon lift is ~1/2" less than zone. Apparently the Icon lift can use the stock UCA due to less lift. Rear 37" tires may rub worse with the Icon on 2dr (about 0.5" more compression than Zone/Fox/King).Each is a 3" spacer lift kit for approximately $500.
So a few questions.
1) How would you compare/contrast these two products?
2) Does one stand out as clearly the better option?
3) Are there other lift kits I should be considering?
For 35" tires, there is currently nothing better than Badlands/Sasquatch for wheel travel. Fox and King coilovers are worse on rear, and Zone/Icon spacers are worse on front. Note that you have to ignore the coilover marketing claims of increased wheel travel (the maximum travel is actually worse when compared to SAS, not 20% better). Presumably there will eventually be aftermarket coilovers with true improved wheel travel (maybe bilstein).
Fox/BDS/Zone recommends 17x8.5+12 (or 17x9+0) for 37's. Icon, of course, recommends the wheels that they sell (17x8.5+0).
