Icon Stage 2 advice - 2017 TRD Off Road

Hi everyone,

New the forum and need some advice. I apologize in advance if this has been covered a million times.

I just purchased an Icon Stage 2 kit for my '17 TRD Off Road and it's getting installed on Monday. Can anyone recommend the proper settings? I'm a super noob when it comes to this, and someone I know told me I should have the front set up an inch higher than the rear. Is this correct?

Thanks all

 

I believe this is my drivers side. If it helps any. I an look at both sides when I get home.

 

Nice.

 

That might be because of settling or to handle extra weight of a winch.

 

A few things, the height of the front in relation to the height of the back is called Rake, and it's always set from the factory to be higher in the rear, to account for when you tow, or put heavy loads in the rear, that the back end settles down.

As far as springs settling down, they are going to settle in the first few miles, take them off curbs, kinda beat on the truck a little to seat them. I doubt you'll lose an entire inch.

If your truck is "level" with no load, it's going to be nose high with a load. That means:
1. Headlights point into people's eyes and not on the road.
2. Steering is going to feel light because front tires aren't planted as well.
3. The vehicle is most definitely squat to the rear. We call this "bro lean." It's typically not a compliment.

Consider your rake, to make the vehicle look "level" and still not really be....so that it remains practical to haul and tow some, I'd keep a 1" to 1.5" rake to the rear (meaning rear is 1" higher than front).

 

Thanks guys, appreciate the info.
