Why run so much preload instead of running a lift to offset the preload? I ask because I'm about to install the Icon Stage 3 and debating preload to achieve the 3.5" lift I already have with the Rough Country.

What do you mean by "running a lift to offset the preload"? Are you talking about adding a spacer on top of the coilover to add lift? I'm not about to stack parts like that. Other than adding preload to the Fox coilovers, a person could install longer or stiffer springs, but that's not something I know how to calculate. Maybe Fox would know what springs to use? Idk, but raising the collars in order to raise the front end was fairly easy. The front rides a little bit stiffer than when it was at Fox's pre-set height, but it is in no way stiff or harsh. It still rides a lot better than the stock FX4 shocks/springs. With the additional preload, the front closer matches the rear since the rear springs are still quite stiff. This setup rides great and I love it!

Great build and an amazing looking truck - makes me wish I would have got a white lariet!
Thank you!! To be completely honest, I almost went with the blue, and I really love the blue still, but the white platinum is just so good.
