PMF 3 link and Icon coils installed

UNBROKEN · Dec 18, 2015

Been sitting on this stuff for months and finally had time to install today. Everything dropped in without a hitch. The Icon coils are a hair shorter than stock coils and a 2.5" spacer....no issues though. A quick drag link adjustment fixed everything right up.
Ride is phenomenal...there truly is a difference with the coils. With the 3-link, Fox 2.5's and Hellwig bars this thing really does ride and handle nice now.

Here's everything put together.

A crappy pic of everything mounted.

And the finished product.

That odd. On my 99 I have icon coils and my 15 front end with stock could feels way softer. Maybe it's the shock combo.

Truck looks amazing!!!!!'

Is that a fram oil filter??

Whatever it is it rides better now than before. I dig it.
And yes...we use them on our fleet at work so I don't pay for them. Never a single issue with a Fram filter in decades of use.

Not a jab. Maybe the guy I got my coils from weren't really icon coils.

Decent set-up.

JMart · Dec 19, 2015

The truck looks good. Thats pretty much the setup I want to run on mine. I think I am going to do my B pillars today or tomorrow. I got all the stuff in a couple of days ago.

I used to run Fram filters on my 7.3 until I had issues with a few of them not staying tight enough to not leak. Then I found out how much everyone hates them. Never knew why though.

They used to have cardboard caps on the inside instead of the metal ones every other major brand uses. They are metal now. Same boat as penzoil for most folks though.

Truck is gorgeous!!!!

What sizes wheels and tires?

Ive had a pmf 3-link sitting in my garage for 5 months. Installing them this week. How long did it take to install?

Looks awesome Richard!

BIG JUICE · Dec 19, 2015

Are these lift coils? I figured they were taller. But you say you have a 2.5"spacer?

I think he had stock coils and a 2.5" spacer before. Now with the Icon coils its just a little bit shorter than that set up was.

22x10.5 with 325/50/22
It probably took 3 hours start to finish. I wasn't in a huge hurry. Everything really does just fall in place. I threw in a tire rotation and greased everything while I was under it plus adjusted the drag link to center up the steering wheel.

Correct

Truck looks great man. Super clean and nice stance.

TyCorr · Dec 23, 2015

I like your truck. Its going to be different than most white Platinum sd's.

I like the black vinyl in between the front and rear door glass.

Dzchey21 · Dec 23, 2015

Did you make any caster adjustments after the install to help with the leveling kit? I think that is one point that would be a good improvement is being able to get that close to stock again.

I need to get all of this done as well.

UNBROKEN · Dec 23, 2015

I set the bar length per PMF's specs. Haven't had time to take it to an alignment shop yet...maybe next week.
I know it already tracks better down the road compared to a spacer and stock arms.

Dzchey21 · Dec 23, 2015

Right that's one thing I noticed with mine a couple years ago is the tracking isn't perfect. I bet that the specs PMF tells you is pretty close if not perfect.
