Icon Front Suspension on Toyota Tundra
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 12. 2018
- Today we are lifting a Toyota Tundra with an Icon Vehicle Dynamics stage 6 lift kit. This kit includes tuned 2.5” coilover shocks featuring a remote reservoir with 10 clicks of adjustment so you can customize your driving comfort. The coilovers are adjustable up to 3” allowing us to fit bigger more aggressive tires (later)
In the Rear (Next Video) we are going to install ICON 2.5 Piggyback Series rear shocks with Old Man Emu Springs.

loosening the LCA bolts (alignment cams) will allow the LCA to drop down to install the coil over much easier. You should also leave them loose until the new ride height is set and you are back on the wheels (full weight of the truck). What you just did is stretch (tear) the LCA bushings into their new position which WILL cause failure very soon. They most likely need replacement anyways if they are oem with decent mileage on them and either way you will need an alignment to get it dialed back in.
Thanks for the suggestion, we will do that next time
Great work man!!! Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
You're welcome thank you for taking the time to comment
Great idea to use the wood, and the t-nuts really improves on icons resi mount.
I have since used the wood on tother projects. Its a good trick 😁
Great video, it definitely helped with my front suspension swap. Thank you!
Glad to hear it. Did you have any problems?
SnailTrail4x4 I did the work solo and followed your steps with no issues. UCA and coilover went in smoothly. The only tough part was placing and tightening the nut on the diff drop on the drivers side.
@@byrona6612 -- Yeah, that did suck! Glad everything went smoothly for you and that the tutorial helped 👍
Nice work dude!
Thanks, It always great to work with such a nice product.
sweet
Thanks, 👍
what did you do for torquing the UCA bolt? I think spec is 172/173 ft lbs. Did you just get it as tight as possible with your crescent? I've gotten a torque wrench in there before, snaked through all the lines, using all kinds of extensions, but it was a nightmare. The passenger's side is easier.
Great video. Can you tell me the part number of that pitman arm puller?
Thanks for doing this video. Any idea how much lift it provided? I didn't order the adjustment tool for mine and I'm going to install my Stage 1 in a few days.
It wasn't touch, we had to adjust it to make it more... I think it was 2-2.5" if I reall
Icon didn’t provide the bolt and nut for my kit for the abs either which is a fail on their part. I even called customer support and went down to their headquarters because they forgot to give me the 90* zero fittings for the arms, and they still wouldn’t supply the bolts and nuts for the arms abs mount. However you were supposed to drill the holes for the resivoir mount plate according to their instructions, before you install the self tapping bolts
Yes I did pre-drill the holes for the self tapping bolts, and I still stripped one out 💪. Welding in those T-nuts wasn't difficult and it going to be much stronger.
Expensive shock and doesnt provide bolts and nuts ? Ahhhh Nuts.(scratched them off my list along with another brand Not mentioning names TTec 😔. I'll stick to FOX's ,Nice work though your very handy 👍.
@@MrEfoozz -- you know a shock company that I have been looking at is Radflo... Might want to check them out.
Any video on ride quality/handling with the new setup coming up?
No, not really, but the owner loves it! He has done some high speed desert ralley racing and said the truck preformed amazingly!
What stage ICON setup is this?
@@FlipRyder21 -- icon stage 3 with tube upper control arms
I have the icon on my fj crusier and the top mount fails..
What Top mount are you talking about?

Can you add Reservoir shocks to a 6 inch lift
I don't have enough information to answer this question. But I'm going to say yes, because if you have a 6" lift, I hope you changed the shocks, and you would have to do that again. Now if your asking about just adding reservoirs to your existing shocks it depends on what shocks you have and if they will accept them. A good start would be to look at the top of the shock and see if there is a bolt in the middle top.
SnailTrail4x4 I didn’t I still have the original Toyota shocks on there
@@pelon4374 -- Yes you should replace them. Your limiting your travel
SnailTrail4x4 appreciated
Love your channel!! Do you have any suggestions for high dollar rear shocks for Toyota Sequoia???
King is my go-to #1 shock, but radflo is also good and if your moving down the line Bilstein is tried and tried.
SnailTrail4x4 Thanks for the quick reply ! What about rear shocks for Sequoia? I hear King and Fox don’t make a rear for Sequoia; does Icon?
@@davidbarfield3489 they might not have a specific shock called out for the Sequoia but they all make shocks that work. You might need to do a little work on your end to figure out what ones are your best option.
You will need to fully compress your rig, go to full droop, and maybe flex one side up and the other down. Get those distances for where the shock goes and contact the company and ask them if they have a shock that works for those numbers. They will have something.
Icon sucks on so many levels. Blew my front shocks out in less than 6 months. They replaced it on warranty but what a PITA to have to redo the install because of thier crap products.
Went with Fox DSC shocks , wasnt thrilled with them either. Finally went with King. Now happy. Do it right the first time, spend a little more and get King.
Kings have been a staple for many years
wtf hit that spindle hard man never have used pb blaster and puller LMAO
So days just sent my day
that fucking camera drive me crazy
What did you diss like? To much movement?
Oh my God what the heck did I buy there is no way I can do these repairs on my own on these Tundra trucks. They are so difficult to work on.
What did you buy?
You should meet the Don's pal Whatsyurbeef............he's a meathead.
Why Icon ? Why not TRD ? Good job anyway 👍✌️
I think the max lift is 1.5" on the TRD kit, and with the Icons we got 2.5". Plus they are a much better shock.
@@SnailTrail4x4 will ICON compare to like King Or Fox suspension?
@@FlipRyder21 -- they're all pretty comparablein performance, I personally like King or fox better.
@@FlipRyder21Icon is different from Fox and King in that those are Progressive shocks and the Icons are Digressive. Progressive shocks start off soft and get "progressively" stiffer the more the road gets bumpy. Icons are the opposite, they start of stiff and get softer as the road gets bumpier. They're all great suspension parts but they function differently.
