Just ordered my 2.5 Icon!

VanoFord · May 4, 2013

First off thanks to Trevor at PMF. Appreciate the walk through and great service on a Saturday afternoon.

Ordered 2.5" Icon coils. I'm already running 5100 bilsteins for a 3" lift. Just need drop brackets (waitin on a reply) and I'm ready to go up! My first mod on the truck so I'm pretty excited.

Congrats dude! Ive herd good things about the icon lift, but I've never seen one. Goin up is the way to go tho for sure!

good job bud , if and when i change it up i will go thru trevor , he has always been quick to get back to me for any questions i have ever had ,
you decide against the dual shock set up ? you were looking into awhile back

VanoFord · May 6, 2013

i could never find a dual hoop for a non lifted truck. all the dual hoops out there are for a 4" lift or greater. I might have to look into fabbing something up someday. who knows, my factory coils could be bottomed out and causin my ride to be horrible that after swappin these in, i might be fine w/ my 5100's... until I wanna go to piggy backs. lol. damn modding addiction.

i think youll find the ride, night and day !! And be very happy , YES same here since day 1 , the addiction its catchy

Install next weekend!

VanoFord · May 18, 2013

Took longer than I wished but its on. So many bolts were seized after 97k. But got it all done. Thank god for that 2 post. I'll get more pics when I clean her up tomorrow. Just need some rubber.

Can't forget the grape drink

Breaks off

Not only are they longer but they are progressive. Extra coil up top

PMF Adj Trac bar - told me to extend it 1/4" than factory and sure enough heim lines right up w/ bolt.

Outside as I went in for Chinese

Can't say thanks enough to The guys at PMF. I called em a few times during install and helped a ton. Thanks!

Yup, didnt do a thing to the rear except throw some Bilstein 5100 for a 3" lift. I think I'm gonna get some piggy back/resi's instead.

Night and day wouldn't even be close of a description. Body is cut down by at least 50%. Front end is so smooth, both at highway and through the neighborhood. I'm very pleased w/ the kit. Even my wife noticed how well the ride improved... To the point where she WANTS to take it now.

Just gotta thank Trevor again at PMF. I called a few times during my install and he was great! I appreciate all the help. And thanks to all for the compliments. Love my truck even more now.

35's will fit well with your truck

so it didn't do lift the rear at all? i'm wanting to go up 2.5" inches in the front maintain the factory rake. so probably do a 5.5 block in the rear or add a leaf.

Doing a 2.5" setup up front with F-350 blocks is going to be pretty level. I assume level is what he wanted. F-350 rear blocks are 3 5/8", so you wouldn't have as much rake as you have now with 5.5" blocks but it would be pretty close. Less than 3/4" difference.
