Tech FAQs General FAQs Installation Instructions |
Below are our most Frequently Asked Technical Questions, if you are looking for answers to more general questions, please go to the General FAQs page.
Yes, we manufacture all of our components to be modular so that they can work together in different configurations. If you are interested in combining components that are not listed in our application guide please contact a local distributor or our technical support at (951) 272-ICON. Can I re-use my u-bolts? No, we recommend using a fresh set of u-bolts when ever they are removed. Can I use Icon Vehicle Dynamics Coil-Overs in conjunction with any other lift system? The stock Tacoma & Tundra Coil-Overs (part # 5-8610 & 5-8620) should not be used in conjunction with any other front lift components as they are a stand alone suspension system. We do manufacture Tacoma & Tundra Coil-Overs (part # 5-8615 & 5-8625) that are approved for use with the Total Chaos Upper Control Arms. Can I use my Icon Vehicle Dynamics Coil-Overs with my other aftermarket lift? The Icon Vehicle Dynamics coil-over suspensions systems are a stand alone product and should not be used in conjunction with any other non-authorized aftermarket suspension components. The use of our product in this manner will void the warranty. Can I use the 2 mini spring pack with any spring? No, the 2 mini spring pack is only compatible with stock Ford springs. Does a spanner wrench come with my coil-over kit? No. However our 2 pin CAD Plated spanner wrench is available to purchase separately. (Part # 19-8000) How do I adjust the adjustable pan-rod bar? Please review the adjustable pan-rod bar (3-9290, 3-9350) installation instructions. How do your Super Duty kits work with snow plow springs? Traditionaly the Ford snow plow springs offer 1.5 of additional lift. Please consider this when deciding rear options. How high can I adjust my coil-over shocks on my 4WD Tacoma? On 4WD Tacomas you dont want to adjust our coil-overs to more than 2.5 of lift. Any more than that puts excessive wear and stress on CVs and boots. The use of a differential spacer will allow you to go slightly higher. What about Tundras?? The Tundra coil-over is only adjustable up to 2.5. How long does it take to install Icon Vehicle Dynamics suspension systems? Please review our installation time chart. How much will each kit actually lift my truck? With the purchase of any Icon Vehicle Dynamics suspension system you are guaranteed to receive at least the advertised lift height that you bought. All Icon Vehicle Dynamics springs were designed around the weight of the Power Stroke Diesel Motor. Trucks with V8 and V10 motors will see higher lift heights. A V10 truck with our 6 lift springs installed will more than likely have a 7 lift. If I add an aftermarket bumper/winch setup to my Toyota truck will I still get the lift I want? The springs on our coil-overs are rated for the stock weight of the Toyota trucks (Tacoma & Tundra). If a large amount of weight is added like a bumper, winch OR BOTH, the truck may sit slightly lower in the front. Is Axle wrap bad for the truck? Yes, it fatigues spring and sends a shock through the driveline. Often times driveline vibration feels like axle wrap, but the two problems have completely different solutions. What comes in your box kits? Our small box kit part # 3-1020 (for 4 8 lifts) contains the following: 1 EA. Pan-Rod Bracket (3-35) 1 EA. Sway Bar Drop Link Kit (3-36) 1 EA. Drop Pitman Arm (3-FD500) 1 EA. HKSD-03 Hardware Kit Includes: 2 EA. ½ x 3 1/2 Bolt Gr.8 2 EA. ½ x 5 Bolt Gr. 8 8 EA. ½ Washer Gr. 8 4 EA. ½ Nylock Nut 1 EA. Cotter Pin Our large box kit part # 3-1030 (for 10.5 -12.5 lifts) contains the following: 1 ea. 10.5/12.5 Pan-rod bracket 1 ea. Pan-rod bar mount/spring pad 1 ea. Sway bar link kit 2 ea. High-Density Foam bump-stop 1 ea. HKSD-03 hardware kit 3 ea. ½ x 1 ½ Bolt Gr. 8 (Loose) 6 ea. ½ Washer Gr. 8 (Loose) 3 ea. ½ Nylock Nut (Loose) What is the difference between the Icon Vehicle Dynamics Shocks and Bilsteins? After many years of using Bilstein shocks with our suspension systems we felt it was time to delve into our history of offroad racing and manufacture our own. The Icon Vehicle Dynamics Shocks were custom valved by the same engineers that developed all of our suspension components. The combination of Donahoe Racing shocks and components offer the best ride quality on the market and are covered by a lifetime warranty. Icon Vehicle Dynamics Shocks are clear powder coated for a long lasting finish and have a Nitro-Steel shaft that resist rust, pitting and corrosion. These shocks are available in both mono-tube and remote reservoir models. What wheel and tire sizes are recommended for your suspension systems? Please review our wheel & tire size chart. When do I need to use a carrier bearing drop kit (3-37)? We recommend the use of this kit when going over 4 of lift. The shims minimize the drive line angles which helps eliminate vibration on the two piece drive shafts. However, every truck is different, so depending on your particular truck you may need this even in smaller lift applications. Why are your new blocks flat? Our engineers have conducted numerous tests regarding both flat and angled blocks. The conclusion was that flat blocks do not disturb the pinion angle of the rear end and prevent excessive wear and vibration from occurring. Our flat blocks optimize spring travel and have a built-in bump stop tang much like the factory blocks. Will your cross over steering kit (3-9500/3-9599) work on my new 2005 Super Duty? The 3-9500 and 3-9599 are the cross-over steering kits are for the 99-04 Ford Super Duties. The new 2005 Super Duty trucks have a completely new front suspension so these kits will not work with them. Will your steering stabilizer shocks work with any other applications? We have only tested our steering stabilizer shocks on our own bracket system so we cannot sell them as a universal steering dampener. It might be possible to use them into other applications but we recommend only using them with our stabilizer bracket kit (3-2170). |
