You may want to wait and see if the springs settle before making too many changes. Technically you should get it aligned after you make any changes to the coils, so you may not want to mess with the ride height too many times.

The wrench is not included. I found the wrench handy even though I compressed the springs while adjusting them to prevent damage. I lowered the front by two turns, so the front now sits 1/4" lower than rear (front was slightly higher than rear before adjustment).I ordered a set with the great August prices. Do they come with a spanner wrench or do I need to buy one separately?

There’s threads in one of the adapter plate holes for the bolt without a nut.I opened up the boxes today and was looking them over. It appears on the rear coilover that the top mount has one bolt that does not have a nut on it. Is that correct? Two bolts have nuts and one doesn't?
My box was torn open on delivery and I just want to make sure I didn't lose anything.

I picked up a set of these from my local HF. The 5/8 punch works perfectly to adjust the coil overs. I’ve used it a few times on my ICONs already.I ordered a set with the great August prices. Do they come with a spanner wrench or do I need to buy one separately?
I received the front coilovers today (rears are still backordered).
Summary:
There were no instructions, but installation is similar to the Icon IVD4300 kit so I used those.Update: Icon instructions now available.
- 70 ft-lbs - Icon coilover Gr8 lower bolts (2) [this is more than stock]
- 35 ft-lbs - Icon coilover Gr8 upper bolts (3) [this is less than stock]
- 48 in-lbs - Icon 37" tire spacers (2) (No spec, but typical for M5 bolt)
- 195 ft-lbs - Lower LCA bolts
- 111 ft-lbs - Stabilizer bar link to LCA
- 66 ft-lbs - Stabilizer bar mounting bolts/nuts (Sasquatch)
- 26 ft-lbs - Stabilizer bar shield (Sasquatch)
- 22 ft-lbs - Engine & bash shields (Sasquatch)
- The coilover extended length is approx the same as sasquatch with IVD4300 (1" strut spacer). Same maximum CV droop.
- There is a bushing on the top hat, which is nice to prevent coil binding.
- The coil spring is longer, but also narrower than sasquatch (more clearance for UCA). The coil diameter is ~4.5", compared to sasquatch at ~5.25". The adjustment ring is 100mm (but I assume you shouldn't adjust w/o spring compressor to prevent thread damage). The adjuster thread pitch is 2mm. The rubber bump stop is ~2.75in.
- Due to coil length there is one critical clearance area. There is almost no clearance between the sasquatch swaybar link and the lower spring at full droop. It is an area to watch, due to tolerances between Broncos. It is probably fine on most Broncos.
- The front coilover lift is ~0.25" less than the IVD4300 kit (2dr sasquatch 2.7).
- I couldn't tell any difference in street ride quality between sasquatch and Icon.
- Overall satisfied
Packaging.
Comparison to sasquatch w/IVD4300 spacers (same extended length ~24.5"). Note top hat bushing and threaded lower mounts.
To remove the spring, I think you unscrew one side of the lower mount, compress the spring, then lift and slide off the lower perch.
There weren't instructions to install the 37" tire spacers, but I think you first add the spacer between the bump stop and the washer (not fully tightened). Then slide it down and tighten down one of the bolts through the disassembly slot. At first I thought this was a weird design, but I think they did it this way so that it doesn't rattle.Update: Icon instructions now available.
Clearance (great for UCA/tierod/CV, not so good for the sasquatch swaybar link):
The BDS UCA works fine. I am not necessarily recommending it. It is what I already had installed.
