Default ICON Vehicle Dynamics Releases JK Coilover System



If you’re looking for a great upgrade for a far more superior lift height adjustment, ICON has heard you!

I wish they would give a bit more details like travel.

Also, any chance they they sell just the coilover kit and mounts separately, instead of forcing you to buy all the other crap.

Looks like a 6k lift kit.

4.5-6 is really high on a JK, too high IMO.

Default ICON Coilovers

Icon also has a 1.75-3" coilover conversion kit, and they sell front and rear independently, with just brackets and the coilovers. Icon has always been stingy with actual details, so unless you call and talk to a tech I doubt if you can find out the actual travel. It's 2,099 for the 1.75-3 front and another 2,099 for the rear, so they might sell this height separately if you don't want all the other stuff. Which is ridiculous but people pay for the evo setups and 3 grand for semifloat axles so I guess there is a market for these types of products.

I looked at those sets before. Wasn't worth it for the travel, plus 3" wasn't tall enough.

3.5 to 4 is the sweet spot I think. There are just so few reviews.

I might call them and ask details.

You'd be crazy to spend that much on an Icon kit when you can get a comparable setup for half the cost.

Maybe if you build it yourself. EVO stage 1 (front + rear COs + a couple arms) is $4,300. EVO Double D pro (COs plus long arms) is $6,300. EVO CO's with MetalCloak arms cost me $5K. The Recon CO kit is $4,800 without CAs. The ICON kit for $6,300 isn't unreasonable for a complete coilover setup, considering it includes trackbars and control arms.

Now, I am perplexed as to why this system is news -- I recall it being available in 2014 when I was researching lift kits. Someone should be able to provide some real world feedback by now.

My thoughts as well. I looked into these a few months ago and haven't found really anyone with first hand experience.
