Yes I'll have to get one. But won't lowering it make the ride stiffer? I don't want mess with the ride quality until I get to play with it in the dirt cuz I think I'm going to love it and not want to change it.

Lowering the suspension height will actually mean rising the adjustable coil-over upwards toward the top hat (reducing the preload). This will soften the ride comfort a little as the coil spring will be under less stress giving more of the coil spring the ability to spread out absorption impacts better.Yes I'll have to get one.

Good question and one I am not knowledgeable in, but I will put in my thoughts anyway. The more preload (tension) you put on the coils you get suspension lift by forcing downward travel increasing CVs angles and cutting into the amount of range that the CV had at the factory setting. Your up travel (compression) would increase since the resting level of your vehicle is at a specific % into droop.That makes sense. Thanks! This is my first adjustable kit and just figured either way the went (up or down) would destroy the ride.
Will it negatively effect the travel at all?
I guess I'm ordering the icon spanner. Any prime day deals? Lol
is that the recommended location for the rear reservoir?? I hope there’s another option because I’m going to break that.Stage 4 complete. It rides a lot smoother than the stock sasquatch. Gonna give them a week before I test it offroad, but well done Icon, well done. I just wish it'd have a little smaller gap with the recommended 35's. Might have to get 37's once the steering rack is upgraded.
@Dusty at ICON can you confirm the reservoir for the rears go by the rear arm mount?? My rear arm mount is beat to hell from rocky trails. I definitely want a more protected location. This is a mall crawler location.Kinda. Thats where they go, but they installed the reservoirs under the plate when it should be over the plate. But I was trying to figure out how to add to the bracket for full protection with enough room for airflow, but a thicker plate on the bottom.
I'm going to put it back how it's supposed to be and figure something else out.
I don''t think he has it installed correctly. The reservoir tucks up better than shown in that pic. The bracket it mounts to includes a "skid" that protects it a little bit from below. I went out in the parking lot and snapped a pic of it on the ICON Bronco. Excuse the dirt, this thing hasn't been to the wash since its last trip to the desert. But as you can see, it's well above the bottom of the frame rail and tucked tight against the rail and the bottom of the body.@Dusty at ICON can you confirm the reservoir for the rears go by the rear arm mount??

I have never seen any other reservoirs in that location. Seriously misguided.
can you most more pics of the where the reservoirs are mounted and the path you used for the hoses? would be appreciated.Stage 4 complete. It rides a lot smoother than the stock sasquatch.

looks awesome! in regards to the fender gap, you should try some 1,75" wheel spacers to get the stance right and maybe some true 35s before you take the 37 plunge.Stage 4 complete.
