We took a trip to Icon Vehicle Dynamics in Riverside and spent the day with Dylan Evans, Lead Engineer for Icon. He walked us through the install and shared some of his knowledge along the way.
A few observations:
- This is doable in your driveway with proper jack stands and a jack, but a lift sure makes life way easier!
- A proper spring compressor is a must, these are very highly compressed front shocks, rear not so bad.
- The fender liners are the most challenging part of the install! Haha… (damn plastic Phillips clips)
- Alignment needs to be performed either way, so this method of install is the easiest for the average person to tackle.
- It now sits perfectly level. Headlights require readjustment, and I’m going to need some side steps installed for sure now!
Enjoy.
