    I know I know suspension questions...I already know what it took to fit my 37s, so I got that going for me.

    I have a procomp bracket lift with procomp coilovers. The truck rides fine but i can't get out of my head that it would ride better with a nicer coilover. I also can't leave things alone so here I am. I had my mind set that I'd go with icon as they make an extended coil for my lift. King can make a custom coil but considerably more cash. Fox also makes a solution through bds and it is on par price wise with king, it is also a remote resi which I think is overkill for what I need. I reached out to radflo and they also have a solution. Alot of positive feedback on the toytec radflo kit on this site. Finding quality info on radflo outside of that is difficult. Looking for some thoughts feeling and banter on icon vs radflo for my ride.

    Looking for best on road ride. I dont off road at all. 100% mall crawling poser truck (I'm ok with it). 6 inch lift with 37s. I'm in nw Ohio so corrosion resistance is a plus. Seems price is about the same. Radflo will powder the coils red for me, a bonus as I want that done anyhow. Any feedback would be great.

    That one is tough brother. You have a 6 inch bracket and you’ll need a custom build coilover system (non returnable/refundable)
    if you’re planning on getting a normal coilover and adding the 6 inch spacer on top, I urge you not to, because you’ll damage the shock prematurely and the warranty will be voided automatically

    Thanks for the reply. I definately will lot be doing a spacer. I guess I should clarify that the radflo unit is an extended coilover, I'll shoot them another message. I know the icon and fox are. The king would be as well.

    I’ve run ICONs and like their products. More controlled feel on the road with less body roll and very smooth on the trail. Plus the icons I linked are made for your pro comp bracket lift.

    I have a Full RADFLO (not toytec) coilover suspension and I could not be happier!!! I had fox prior to the RADFLO and it is a HUGE difference. I was also able to tour and meet the folks at RADFLO and their customer service and attention to detail made my decision vary easy. :spending: I went through Darren @BOSS4x4s for my purchase (great guy to deal with).

    RADFLO can make anything you need, and i know you will be happy with it. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Curtis from RADFLO called and made sure i had the right valving and spring rate for my truck based on weight and possible use of the truck.

    Thank you for the reply. Curtis is who I have been speaking with. Fox and icon own as far as advertising goes...its hard to find people that have any actual real world experiance with both. I do love that they are family owned. That's super cool to me. PM coming

    Technically you can fit 37s on a 3" lift ;)

    Just takes a good well thought out cab mount chop, little pinch weld action, proper offset wheels and of course a good alignment.
