Icon 0 4 Adjustable Coilover Lift Kits Reviews
The Shock Surplus 2006 Tacoma 4x4 is going under the knife over again, getting the intermission gutted for the 5th fourth dimension. The near recent setup from ICON Vehicle Dynamics featured the 2.v Coilovers with CDCV adjustable reservoirs, along with 2.5 CDCV reservoir rear shocks, the RXT rear leaf pack (i of the first off the line), and hydraulic crash-land stops. This unabridged organization has been fantastic, and will be hard to beat.
Our previous experiences included the Bilstein 5100 adjustable summit struts, the Trick 2.0 coilovers, and then the ICON system. The most significant differences when moving into the ICON setup were the speeds that the truck still felt planted and in control. There'southward a reason why shocks similar ICON, Pull a fast one on, and King are categorized as race shocks with racing parts, at that place's a point where the faster you lot go on tough terrain, the shocks and suspension begin to feel much smoother. That was certainly the case in the southern California deserts and Baja, where the terrain was crude, but semi-predictable enough to where going 40-60mph is scary just exhilarating.
Daily Driving with the ICON two.5 at the centre CDCV setting were noticeably firmer than factory or Bilstein, simply not in an uncomfortable manner, only sportier. You could become a little more plush by bankroll off the pinch settings, which resulted in noticeably more torso roll.
On slow trails with a lot of rocks or obstacles, you could feel everything, and regardless of CDCV settings, at that place was no escaping it. Small and medium rocks were felt on compression, and a tad jolty on rebound. If you're up for a bumpy, simply controlled ride, you lot could as well merely speed upwardly through the rocky sections and the suspension wouldn't take a problem eating information technology upward, but it's not plush by any means.
Once again, speed is where these shocks excel at. Nosotros could run all day long in the open deserts of Utah, California, and Nevada without worrying about the suspension fading, no matter how tough the terrain got.
The RXT leafage pack system in the rear dramatically helped while camping off the grid and carrying heavy gear loads on tough terrain. We oft loaded the vehicle with anywhere from 500-1000lbs of gear, whether that was a total passenger load of adults with ski gear for a week, or packed to the brim for 10 days in the Black Rock Desert for a little thing chosen Burning Man. Not but could the RXT foliage pack handle the loads without significant sag, the adjustment on the CDCV shocks turned upward to firm tin command the rear end perfectly over rocky mountain terrain, and fifty-fifty at decent desert speeds.
The decision to include hydraulic bumpstops was mostly vanity at the first, might as well go all the way right? If nosotros were going to be doing the phase eight system, we might as well become the hydraulic crash-land stops, even if we didn't know they would be utilized that much. In the end, they got tons of use and abuse, the bumpstops were a meaning gene in treatment the heavy loads at decent speeds, the bumpstops would significantly dampen the loaded rear stop under aggressive obstacles, preventing topping out on the shocks (daze longevity).
Starting about a year ago, or roughly 40k miles into the shocks' life, we started noticing and picking upward slight behavior changes in the shock functioning, mostly in how softer the rear finish had become. This was the point we knew the shocks needed rebuilding and servicing, but since nosotros had moved to a new climate and different local terrain, we left them on since they were still performing how we needed on mountainous terrain.
Every high performance race-level daze needs to be rebuilt and serviced for optimal damping performance, whether thats Icon, Fob, King, ADS, Radflo, Sway-Away. The intervals for rebuild will vary on how much corruption they encounter, but are recommended between the 30-50k mile range.
The ICON has been a fantastic setup for the Tacoma, the shocks are currently beingness rebuilt and tuned for slightly different terrain, and may run across themselves back on the Tacoma in the future to refresh our perspective against competing options. But in the hateful time, we've installed the Old Man Emu BP51 Internal Bypass shocks and coilovers, which as well feature rebound and compression damping adjustments. These are a much different kind of daze compared to the ICON setup, and so we'll be bringing you those comparisons in a future write-up and video.
