ICON 07-14 FJ Cruiser/03-24 4Runner/03-23 Lexus GX, 2" Lift, Rear Spring Kit, ICON coil conversion kit, and Bilstein 5100s all around. Use OEM front coils. Fantastic ride quality.
I had 2.5 icons on my last GX. Adjustable 2.5 kings on this one. I feel like these ride better. The adjustability seems to help.
IMS has been great for me, I don’t think I’d find myself using adjustment to its full potential so I chose to use the savings for aftermarket UCAs and LT rear
I'm on a 2" IMS setup and relatively stock weight. They are "firmer but less crashy" than stock, if that makes sense. If you're loaded they're extremely nice. They're also a dream on dirt and gravel, and the low speed dampening is still strong enough that they don't compress too much when hitting harder rocky obstacles.
I have the standard twin tube nitrogen shocks with their UCA's and I love them. A little harsh when the truck is empty, but it rides like a Cadillac with 4 people and a couple hundred pounds of suitcases
I put 5100s on my GX. Very pleased. I’d call it a nice balance of comfort/sport.
It now drives much better than stock suspensions with air springs Also, Its now returned to a "factory" Prado. ????????
It’s firm but not rough and it handled wheeling around Southern Colorado and NW New Mexico just fine, even fully loaded. I’m beyond impressed considering the cost.
I just slapped the full dobinsons nitro 2" lift on my 2006 sport with their confort/stock feel springs. Was about $1600 which included the rear coil conversion kit. Installed it myself on a saturday, then got it aligned at a shop. I previously had 5100 struts when I was sock height with the airbags for about a year, and the dobs shocks are noticeably better.
