    Future for Pelfreybilt

    Dude, I know it sucked for the people who lost money on parts for their trucks but I was genuinely worried about you because I knew your life was anchored to that ship. Hope all works out for you.

    What leaf pack did you get? You may just be too high in the rear. These trucks can only go like 2.5 inches up front before problems start to happen. You can run spacers, but then it kind of negates the $ you spent on premium suspension unless you never plan to off-road it and just want the truck...

    Reference Ask a beginner question, get a serious answer!

    Thats odd. My coil overs (Icon 2.5's) were bolted on without even touching the pre load and it came out perfectly level. If I cranked on the pre-load, it would have been way too high in the front.

    I honestly haven’t seen many 18” wheels on these trucks which kind of tells me that it might not work. I’m a fan of the “more tire less wheel” club with trucks but to each their own.

    “Better” is a matter of opinion. Both make quality products. The biggest difference between them is Icon uses semi-digressive valving whereas Fox uses progressive. A lot of dudes here, including myself, have Icons and they have been awesome.

    Suspension choices

    A big thing that people don’t talk about is to make sure you keep it within YOUR budget. Let’s be honest, we all come from different economic backgrounds and basing your build off of what other people do to their trucks is a sure fire way to be unhappy.
  43. BlueFalconActual

    Suspension choices

    I’m also a fan of Icon’s. They get a lot of unwarranted hate in other forums because mouth breathers install incorrectly and then blame the manufacturer for their mistake. Icon has been nothing but stellar and helpful to me. I have their 2.5 w/resis in the front and 2.0 w/resis in the back. For...
  44. BlueFalconActual

    Suspension choices

    A lot will depend on your idea of what off-roading is. High speed desert runs? Slow rock crawling? Fire roads? When it comes down to it though, ANYTHING is better than a spacer lift IMO. Spacer lifts are the padded bra of suspension.

    Correct. Lugs that came with alloy wheels will work on steelies (or else you couldn’t use the spare) but you can’t use lugs that came on steel wheels on alloys.

    @Pelfreybilt, in your opinion, should I get a set of sliders or better skids first? I honestly could probably go without either since I try to go around any real rocky stuff but I know it's better to have it than need it.
