ya, I’ve done a few Tacos too. By yourself it sucks but if you got a friend makes it so much easier.

Seems like the biggest concern is the CVs pulling out when you making room for the new coil, and then of coarse re-seating the CV if she slides out. Heres the vid for the Fox kit, gotta be about the same for the ICON.

The Icon suspension is on!! The guy only charged me 170 bucks to put on the coil overs so that was easy enough choice for me. It actually looks and feels like a truck now. Can’t wait to go test her on some trails!!

I also did a rush job on this because I was sick of seeing the chrome and blue Ford tailgate emblem. It’s not perfect and may redo it at some point but here it is. Looks so much better!

That looks really good. Was it very hard to take apart?

It was pretty easy once you kind of know what your doing. I can do a quick write up for you if you want.

Sure, if you get some time. I remember someone on here posted about it a while ago but I haven’t seen it since. I’d like to so something similar, maybe in the spring when the weather warms up!

Are you running spacers?

 

[Jake596]

Wow, that turned out great, and worth the $170, thanks for the followup, cant wait to get mine going.

Wheel spacers?? No, but it’s something I’m thinking about. I’ve never ran wheel spacers cause it’s always better just getting a good wheel set. But I really like these wheels and don’t feel like spending 800 to get the set I want. I’ll probably roll with these for a while and eventually upgrade to something else.

Here’s a quick write up on how to remove and paint the rear Ford badge.

My Husky Weatherbeaters just came in! So far compared to the broken Max Liners that I returned the Huskys proved more side and vertical coverage. It’s also way less slick then Max’s.

Also just got these from amazon. I noticed my key was already getting scratched so these are a rubber boot. The fit and feel is perfect. I’m a little curious to see if it will fit long term due to the side key but for 6 bucks for two can’t go wrong!

I felt the same but decided to give them a shot. I ordered 1” BORA spacers on Black Friday and they are great and the fit is excellent.
