Message: [QUOTE="bthomas, post: 844047, member: 4528"] To anyone else running the ICON 2.0 Aluminum Series Monotube Shocks # 36508, what has been your experience as i feel these are too long with the stock F350 rear blocks even though it is the recommended shock by Icon. I originally got these as part of the stage 2 2.5 system and have never been happy with the ride in the back (bouncy on highway, bed bounce etc). Icon advertises these as a 3" to 6" shock but does not specify details on using with a leveled F350. Obviously with a F250 they recommend going to a taller block just like any other leveling system. According to the site below, it looks like the 3" to 6" inch travel is in addition to the factory 4" F350 block which makes sense but does not make sense why they would come with a leveling system. Just seems kinda of like a last minute addition to a good system (coils, piggybacks, trac bar etc) to compensate for not having a stock applicable shock. Calling Icon tomorrow to discuss as i have the front 2.5 piggy backs and love them but am disappointed in the rears. May look at swapping the OEM block for a taller one and adding a spring perch lift in the front from PMF.

This shock is too long for use on a stock height vehicle. Please note, the F250 and F350 come factory equipped with a lift block.
