Pretty sure there should just be an exception made to that rule.

:blah: :D

Found the finders I like they are the 5'' ones I like the front finder design better

I like my icon coilovers fixing to add a set of piggy back shocks on all 4 corners and it should be ready to handle anything from grocery shopping to desert racing

How "soft" is your truck on road? Alot of Icon trucks I've been in we're a bit harsh.

Any pictures of your truck?

I was wondering if the 4.5 would look to high because that bumper will make it look alot higher than it really is but I dont think it will look bad. This is the truck jacked up to match what the lift would look like.

Why rigid over light force?

IMO the light bars looks better and would probably hold up to abuse better and our out more light, but that's just my opinion lol I think with that front bar, you could mount up to bars like the ones in this pic and it would look great!

Same here, but the price of the loaded carli compared to the loaded icon kit is pushing me away....

I think I'm over $1500 difference from the carli to the icon kit.

And I know for a fact if I spend 4500 on a lift and it doesn't perform how I hope I will be more than disappointed.

I know for a fact both kits will perform more than acceptable off road. What I am not sure about is how each will compare on road. I don't want to be stuck with an off road only, something that performs on road is what I'm looking for as well.

If I find anymore threads or info ill pass it your way.

With Matt, I like the rounded lights better. But the stacked rigid looks cool as well.
