Great video! Be thankful it was only 30 bucks. The fox spanner wrench is more than double that. Imagine how pissed I was finding out a 10 dollar tool couldn't be included with a 2 grand setup and I had to pay 60+. Absolute BS!
Mike, don’t forget to mention that the truck needs to be driven back and forth 3 or 4 times, about 20’ each direction to let tires/suspension settle after truck is raised off ground by jack and put back down.
How to achieve the 2.75 lift for 3rd Gen tacoma? How much thread need to be expose? Im running 315/70r17 at the moment so i really need the clearance. I installed the icon 2.5 and the expose thread is 1.5 inch.
How much thread do you have showing on yours in inches ? And what does that equal in lift . In the instructions it doesn’t say how many turns or threads equal what size lift
When he said make sure to not adjust it over 2.1 inches for Tacoma. Is that apply to Icon stage 2 only? I about to get King 2.5 with remote reservoir, can I lift my 2008 Tacoma over 2.1 inches?
Did you ever install then adjust your kings? I have had mine on for about a month and i am ready to add an additional 1” and am curious how easy they are to adjust.
Great video! Do you happen to have any lean on driver side rear "taco lean"? or after adjusting the front that solves the lean in the rear as well. Thanks
Yes, that's one of the nice things about this style of shock is that either side can be adjusted independently to any height between stock and the max lift height.
Hey how happy are you with these coilovers ? I have the same ones on my tacoma and i feel like they suck i hate the ride quality for the price . They feel the same as when i was running it with the lift blocks. I contacted icon and they never responded .
Here's a comparison I recently did with the Bilstein 5100s on my 4Runner: th-cam.com/video/JZmTunXsWlE/w-d-xo.html. In summary I agree they didn't impress me as much as I'd hoped.
I’m confused. You say in the video that the preload setting for the threads on the adjustable part of the coil over can’t be more than 2.13inches but here you’re saying you’re at 2.15”? Or is it that 2.15 you mention here in the comment is total lift height hub to fender?
No they didn’t come with the spanner. Which was unfortunate but I’ll say I do love the ride and handling the Icons give my taco. I just bought a set of decent spud wrenches that fit for way cheaper than any spanner I could find.

I think you gotta compress the springs in order to adjust with spanner wrench. Would make you work less and less damaging on the threads too

Why do you measure from the top of the wheel well to the center hub? Shouldn't you measure to the ground?
Since you're not impressed with the spanner wrench is there a better quality universal wrench that could be used over the Icon spanner wrench?
Unfortunately I don't have another recommendation... just something other than this.

Do I need an alignment after adjustment?
Thank you. You’re the man
Great video! Do you happen to have any lean on driver side rear "taco lean"? or after adjusting the front that solves the lean in the rear as well. Thanks
Not that I could tell
Hi Mike, do you run the stock UCA's? Thanks!
Yes I do!
@@DrivenCompanionwere you able to get a proper alignment? Any issues whatsoever? Thanks
You said you wouldn’t buy that tool again. Is there a different one I can get to adjust the height?
There are other spanner wrenches out there. I don't have any recommendations but I think there are some generic options that would be worth a try.
can you adjust the driver side to be higher then the passenger side to compensate for the taco lean?
Yes, that's one of the nice things about this style of shock is that either side can be adjusted independently to any height between stock and the max lift height.
Did you have the wheels for alignment post adjustment? Shops I called suggest an alignment after.
Yes, I had that done at a shop
Is alignment required after adjusting coilovers?
Yes

Pop off your sway bar and it softens it up 1,000X
So I’m picking up some icon coilovers and was wondering how much preload can I put on them
Don't exceed more than 2 inches
Nice! So exactly how many inches in front an back do you have? 2.15 front 1.5 back I'm guessing??
That's about where I'm sitting right now - good guess. May need to go a little higher to get the clearance I need but haven't figured that out yet.
How high can u go in front with out maxing ?

Hey mike are you running a differential drop kit with this lift???
Yes I am. Its required over 3 inches but my with any lift its not a bad idea to reduce stress
How about the rear?
Hey Mike what do u mean not exceeding the 2.13 inches in the thread? Where are you measuring from there?
Center of hub
The Racetek wrench is better and has a 3/8 socket wrench slot for more leverage.
R the tires you had on at this time the oem size?
No, 265/75/r16 verus stock at 265/70/r16
How many inch of pre load did you do?
Sitting just over 2 inches right now. Haven't necessarily finalized height yet.
Mike C thats what i have mine at and able to fit 285
They won't get my business if they can't even include the crap spanner wrench with it. Especially considering how much it cost.
No they didn’t come with the spanner. Which was unfortunate but I’ll say I do love the ride and handling the Icons give my taco. I just bought a set of decent spud wrenches that fit for way cheaper than any spanner I could find.
Why’d you have to adjust your coilovers?
Installed them and wanted it to sit a little taller to get the stance I was after.
What lift you have in the back? You still using stock uca's?
Icon Stage 2 Add-A-Leaf. Still have the stock UCAs as well
Mine has 3.5 inches of thread showing 😂
I don’t know why, but I want to kiss you. I’m not gay. just want to give you a bro kiss. Totally normal
