Icon or Carli

Black Ice · Apr 15, 2023

I’m looking to get one of these two lifts in 4.5 inch put on my truck and wanted to see which one y’all recommend. The difference in price is only around $90.

Truck is a 2022 Lariat and lifts are Icon Stage 2 and Carli Backcountry.

I’m also not opposed to listing to some other options because I haven’t looked into anything since I leveled my 2017.

Personally I like piecing a good lift together but I’ve always used icon coils with either pmf fab or ouo parts

I’d be ok with that but I’m not sure what components to buy and my budget is around $2500 to $3500 for parts.

Call Trevor at pmf, tell him your budget and he could build you a setup completely. He’s a stand up guy and is always there to talk to customers

Go Carli more refined system compared to ikon or pmf.

Isn’t that what budgets are for? Write down a number and expect to spend double or more

Yup. It rides way better than my 2017 F250 with a 3” wicked customs and Bilstein 5100’s.

Looks decent. Did you know those are icon shocks with carli stickers? Not saying they're bad at all, but that's what they are. Icon actually sells some really decent stuff. I think they're a bit underrated.

I have no clue about the shocks. The guy who did it mentioned he was waiting for the new shock version or something like that so it deleted the shipping a little.
