Icon makes great stuff.

I've heard their shocks are infamous for leaking a lot.Icon makes great stuff.
So after talking to a bunch of guys running 37s with lifts, I went with the MOPAR 2" lift. The rear shocks are still a bit soft under load. So I am going to swap out the FOX shocks from the lift kit with some Teraflex Falcon adjustable shocks. And I am going to add 0.75" spacers to the rear springs. I think with that set up, I should be right where I want it to be.Did you find a lift yet? I’m leaning towards RK but not sure I’ll be able to afford it anytime soon! Lol
Very nice! Are you happy with the ride quality as well?So after talking to a bunch of guys running 37s with lifts, I went with the MOPAR 2" lift. The rear shocks are still a bit soft under load.

Here's the truck now — I upgraded to 37s.
Yeah, the valving in the kit shocks are better than the stock FOX shocks. However, they're still a little too squishy. Otherwise, I have been really impressed with the kit. But that's not too surprising, since it was developed by the Jeep team.Very nice! Are you happy with the ride quality as well?
How much you want for those used 2” lift Fox shocks? Shoot me a PM with a price...So after talking to a bunch of guys running 37s with lifts, I went with the MOPAR 2" lift.

I'm in this exact predicament right now. I run a bed rack w/ Roam RTT and a bed full of gear for overland trips. I can't decide on a lift (2'' vs 3.5"). Your rig looks really good with that setup, are you pleased with it? Is there anything you wish you did different? Did you measure the actual lift you got from the 2" kit? My biggest concern is if I lift too high, the Roam annex may not sit flush/on the ground. I appreciate any input, cheers.
Thank you for posting this info. Adding this to my research list. Nice rig.Just to close this out, I went with the MOPAR 2" lift. Then I swapped out the shocks for Teraflex Falcons at all four corners. And I installed 0.75" spring spacers under the rear springs. Rides like stock again, as if the weight weren't there!
I went with the Mopar lift and am regretting it. It is extremely bumpy on concrete roads, just a constant up and down. Not like a rough ride but more of a boat constantly on small waves. Did you experience the same thing before you switched to Falcons? I’m guessing we have close to the same weight in the back.
