Would Love Help- Current Setup Icon 6 Inch Coilover Looking to go up

superdutylover85 · Dec 4, 2014

Guys, Have had my truck about 2 years now and its the first truck I have ever owned. The first day I got it I felt that It was so tall and thought to myself how am I going to be able to drive this thing. Now looking at it I always think to myself that it does not even feel lifted. This was Jesser Rohrs old truck and I am sure many of you know it. I am looking to go up in height and I know I will loose some comfort in the drive but would love someones opinion on what to do. Have called Icon, and other shops around the Florida area and half of them don't have a clue what I would need to go up. I am thinking going to 10 inch lift.

Have also thought about selling it and getting a newer truck-

Truck only has 30k miles and still smells new- When Jesse had it he had the tan lariat interior. I was lucky enough to snag Reggie Bush King Ranch Interior

) AND LOVE IT
here is how the truck sits now

A little off topic but what is Reggie Bush King Ranch interior?

If you sell it I'm really interested.

LOL. Reggie had them convert the truck to a KR interior I believe.

Hey guys- sorry to confuse you. Reggie Bush got a 2013 Free F250 King Ranch- it was gas not diesel which is hilarious. Thats besides the point. The shop that did the work on upgrading his truck and putting on a supercharger kit told me he was going to switch his interior to all black. Perfect opportunity for me to scoop it up. So It was off his new truck. Truck had less than 5 miles when I got the seats. Whats great is that I didn't just have the covers put on. They actually gave me his entire seats etc. and he kept my old seats since he was getting his replaced. Worked out great for me

Well that's awesome. Why would he spend so much money on a gas 250?

HE GOT IT FOR FREE FROM FORD

That thing is beautiful, I wouldn't change a thing! But... Get ahold of the member SAK on here. He'll line you out.

You don't necessarily lose ride/drive quality with more height, as long as it's done correctly.

From as far as the rear, all you will probably need is a taller block and maybe new shocks. The Icon shocks, if I remember right, for the rear are usually good for some crazy range like 2''-9'' lift. But you can probably get the part number off the top of the shock and check Icon's site to confirm.

The front's going to be more stuff. I don't know how far your ALA's go without needing the drop bracket and there's a bunch of other crap I don't know about on that truck. At that height you might even have to clock the transfer case.

But like LovinPSDs said, PM SAK. He's the best person if you want to keep the most of that stuff. I'm gonna tell him to come in here too.

Icon has a set of 7" coilovers that you can swap out to, they can be adjusted to 9". If you have a 1" TEI spacer which I believe you do already, that will put you at 10".

I'm almost positive that your current shocks would still work, when I got my cdc valved piggy back shocks they said they were good for at least 9".
For the rear, you can either get a bigger rear block. Or keep the block and traction bar set up you have now, and get a set of 5" lift springs for the rear.

You'd need some longer brake lines

If you don't have a solid one piece drive shaft get the OUO drive line drop to shim down the carrier barring.

Your ALAs should adjust out for that lift with out needing the drop brackets, this is the one I'm the most unsure about, but looking at mine on the same lift you have now looks like if I went up another 4" I would be fine and wouldn't need any added drop brackets for the ALAs.

Hope this helps you some
