ICON STAGE 4 INCH LIFT KIT

Looking to buy this kit for my 17 Tacoma and wondering how it looks off a stock taco? Is it really worth getting? Was also looking at OME 3 in lift kit, but havent heard the greatest about it.

I carry a lot of heavy photo equipment for my job so looking to get something that will support that travel on/off road

Might not be the advice you want but I’d say don’t go over 2.5” to save your cv boots and keep up/down travel.
If you’re looking to spend about 3K, reach out to @AccuTune Offroad and see what they recommend. They will even tune the kit you buy from them for what your expected use and weight will be.

 

I had this on my 05. A Stage 4 is not a 4in lift. It's comfortably a 2 in lift.

If you need more capacity for weight the aal is not ideal. Get a full leaf pack. My stock leafs with the icon aal was not great with extra weight.

I liked the setup but it is more for higher speed stuff. It's not designed for comfort, feels very planted and controlled at speed though.

 

Thanks. Any opinion on any kits thats more comfortable?

 

I think the icons are great but its not that soft on clouds feeling that most people equate with a good suspension. I could run over a person doing 30mph and not feel it, but a parking lot speed bump at 5mph you will notice. 40+ mph through the open desert or fire roads, no problem. Felt planted and controlled.

If you want a softer ride go with kings, fox, OME, something thats not digressive valved. There are a hundred reviews and videos on this. Also the higher you crank up the preload to get more lift the worse your ride will feel.

The only reason I got rid of the Icons are to put in some electronically valved shocks.
