Icon Shock Question

[strokin20]

Hey guys, does anybody hear deal with Icon stuff? I lucked out and got a set of the 2.5 Piggyback Reservoir Shocks, 6" Fabricated Lift Blocks and the Icon Dual Steering Stabilizer bracket for $250. My issue is I got them off a truck at the wrecking yard, and one of the front shocks is missing the lower mounting bolt and the bushings that go with it. I've been attempting to install the rear shocks, but damn, these things are stout and I cant compress them at all by hand.
Here's a picture of said bolt and bushings.

I had to use a jack to compress my 2.5 piggy backs to get them on the truck. I can put my full weight on them and they won't budge. They really help with the back roads

I remove the nitrogen when Installed my shocks. Works like butter.

I've used a 1" ratchet strap to compress shocks. Loop the strap around the shock, hook ends together and start ratcheting.

Works like a charm............

I'll be giving this another shot. First time I had a hard time keeping the strap on the shock

Well, after giving it another shot this evening, I have conquered the Icon Shocks lol. I was finally able to make the ratchet strap stay on the ends of the shocks. Now I'm just waiting on the spacers from Icon for the front shocks. I'll try to get it cleaned up and take some pictures so I can show it off lol. I'm pretty proud of it. It has 3" Rough Country coils up front with the radius arm drops and the 6" Icon fabricated block in the back for a total lift of 3" in the front (duh) and 4" in the back. Sits a smidgen higher in the back than I'd like, but overall I'm pretty pleased. Oh yea, running 35's wrapped around AF Independence 22x10's.

How much axle wrap are you getting with those rear blocks?

 

[strokin20]

To be honest, I haven't noticed any yet, but thats mostly because I just put them in Friday and I spent all weekend and yesterday on the lake lol.

I'm running a very similar set up. I'm about an inch higher in the rear so it sits dead level with a trailer hooked.

A lot....it's physically impossible not to with a 6" block.

And please excuse the dirtyness, we've been getting quite a bit of rain here in central Tx lately so I don't mind it too bad.
