OK. This is my last post asking about suspension, before I drop the money on a lift. After seeing that Mike is using Icon coilovers on his truck, getting 3" of lift, without UCA's, and no coil bucket contact (OEM length Icon), I've decided I can squeeze a lift into the budget now.

So first question is... Do PRG's radflo's offer the same lift, with no contact, as the Icons?? If they do, which setup looks best? PRG would be a few hundred cheaper, but I haven't called PreRunnerparts to see if he has a package deal on the following Icon setup.

Icon OEM replacement coilovers - set at 3" of lift
Mini Leaf spring pack - 2 leaf aal
Bilstein 5100 rear shocks - 0-2" lift

OR

PRG Radflo OEM replacement coilovers
Deaver Mini Leaf spring pack - 2 leaf aal
Bilstein 5125 rear shocks - 0-2" lift

Any advice/thoughts welcome.

Thanks

they are both the same for lift though icons tend to do better with salt and such

my 2.5" radflos look as shiney as the day i got them - and we get lots of snow and salt up this way

if you have an Icon dealer in your province, i may steer you in that direction. Radflo's for the Frontier aren't supposed to have warranty outside of the USA, as I've been told from Radflo. I would decide based on what brand you can get serviced locally.

I believe Zedbra is talking about warranty work not service on the coilovers. Contact Icon and see what their warranty is in Canada.

yup. cuz most people that work on shocks/coils can rebuild any brand. moving forth, there is a Fox tech in town that will be working on my Radflos
