Go with Kings,for all the rigs I've ridden in lately, I still like mine, with Icons tied for 1st. My rebuild was Imo cheap for a pair of thoroughly thrashed coil-overs, dropped off, rebuilt and shipped back through DownsouthMotorsports.com Sonny is a Great guy who really understands the FJC
I'm in SoCal now to get an Icons Stage 2 lift installed by Demello Offroad. Icons came up better in my research and am looking forward to the change in off road performance.

I just bought a Sway-A-Way set and Total Chaos UCAs from Metal Tech for $2100 (equates to a "stage 2" kit), they should arrive Monday. Basically it's the same price point as the Icon but with tuneable/rebuildable rear shocks. The only other reason I didn't choose Icon was just to buck the trend. Oh, and the purty red paint.
Congratulations FJK! I am sure you'll be happy with the SAW's.
Geez looks like there are two different stage 2 lifts to install. I know Magic wants/needs to get his install done before April. Outta ping him and see if someone has room to do the installs.
BTW, I have a tool to pop the upper balljoint loose when you do the UCA swap. Let me know if you need to borrow it.

Just to clarify, I meant same price for Icon shocks and TC UCAs I didn't realize that Demello was still having a 20% sale, that's a great deal. I might have gone for it, but too late lol.
Icon Stage 2 retails for $2735. I got mine for 20% off from Demello for $2188 - pretty close to FJK's SAW/Total Chaos set up. If anyone's interested, I believe that Demello is still holding a 20% off store wide sale to stimulate business.
