I really don't care about road manners so much, but the stiffness makes it ride like it was new and unmodified and weighed down, like over 4 years ago!
Another reason I value excessive stiffness is in case you come off a ledge using an angled line and only ONE front strut has to take the force of the entire weight of the front of the vehicle. If you're going downhill, that's exactly when you need extra stiffness in the front. And it's the more expensive bits of the truck that are in danger.
So far, I'm ecstatic with them. Haven't cranked on the preload at all. So they give about an inch more lift at resting than the BDS/Markmc 1/2" spacer/EXT spring combo I had on there before.
Recovered yet, sickie?
Man, I wish I could have made it, I finally started to recover by Wednesday, and got some food in me on Turkey day... It was one hell-of-a vacation

4 days with the fever and puking!! Damn California air..
I'm glad they're running good, sounds like they are still a little firm for the general market. I'll have to see when Icon will want to check them out!! Any glamour pics of them going over the ledges?
