Anyone install the ICON Vehicle Dynamics Stage 8 suspension?

[SleepyJeep]

So, I have read a lot of great reviews of this ICON suspension and was wondering if anyone here had them or has plans to install them on their JT

Its not available for the JT (yet)...

Expedition Overland is running Icon on their crazy build so these should be out soon. I am between them, EVO and Metal Cloak. I feel like the MC is way better especially for the money. Probably swap the shocks out unless you go for their 6pack option but even with that cost factored in its a pretty big gap.

I don't have a dog in this fight.

I looked at it and at best that is STUPID money.

First of all, you get reservoir shocks. Just not a need item and bring nothing to the table unless you are doing the Baja 1000. You need those like you need an accordion to go deer hunting with.

and then this: Holistic Engineering: Are they next gonna tell me it's also organic and healthy? You might want to take their price $5,194 and look at the average price per piece (about $470)...unless they heavy discount there is no need to drop that kind of coin.

Don't get wrong, NOT saying their stuff is not good, in fact, I am quite impressed with some of their approaches and applications. However, you are paying a big price to play.

As for Metalcloak, I saw them at the Offroad shows back when I had a shop. I am VERY impressed with their approach, quality, and their Holistic Engineering! I like their SPRINGS!!!

If you are doing a 2-inch lift in most cases I would recommend the Jeep kit for the price and warranty.

All that said, your Jeep, your money, your pride of ride do what works for you.

My daily commute takes me in front of their facility each day. I will let everyone here know when they start dissecting a JT.

I have ordered this kit (stage 8) Hoping to have the install done in April. It was a 10-12 weeks on the parts from Icon from when I ordered. 28-Dec-20

Icon makes pretty good stuff. There was some youtube video by “trailrecon” that did a JL flex comprison. The stage 1 icon lift almost matched the flex of the fully loaded rock krawler kit. I’d guess the higher level kits do really well.

Yes:
The stage 8 kit is installed. Rides and drives like factory. However with the adjustable shocks not as bouncy. Handles great on the most messed up roads I could find in the city. Have not gone off-road yet. Lots going on at home. (Re-model) will give up date on off-road handling when I can.

Took it up Gold mountain trail at Big Bear. Also did some nasty trails locally. Great system. I think it would be perfect at a “3.5” of lift instead of 2.5. However great kits high quality. Keep all 4 tires on the ground.
