    Hello from Texas!
    I have a 2013 Tundra with Fox 2.0 coilovers & rear shocks (non reservoir) and I love them!
    My question is will the Icon 1.5 AAL's cause the rear shocks to over extend?
    I've considered Coachbuilder +2 shackles as well, but I think the upgraded leaf springs would be the better investment?

    Any and all feedback is welcome!

    The max rear lift will be on fox website. It lists 1 inch rear lift, so it is possible both of those lifts could over extend them

    I noticed that too on their website, but doesnt that mean it's compatible with a 1" lift? Surely half an inch wouldn't make that much of a difference?

    Another factor is that I ordered a Leer shell for the bed. So I'm assuming there will be about -.25" of sag in the rear. That's why I'm also considering the CB +2 shackles instead since that seems to provide 1.25“ of lift.

    I plan to leave the cap on all the time. Since that's an extra 200+ lbs, that makes me think the Icon leaf springs would be a better solution.

    call fox directly. Shocks have a max extension measurement.

    keeping weight on the bed won’t change the extended length at max droop.

    for the additional weight, i would think the spring option is better than shackles.

    I emailed both Fox and David at Coachbuilder, and they both said the CB +2 shackles will be fine to use!
    Immediately ordered the set. lol

    I will post pictures once installed.

    Emails below from David & Fox -

    David Ekstrom - "With the amount of actual down travel the tundra leafs provide you will be in great shape running the FOX 2.0" rear shocks and our +2"s. Excellent setup and will help with handling, rear suspension and over all functionality."

    Fox - "That added 0.25 inch will not be an issue with the constant load of the shell and any additional weight in the back. There will be no issue unloaded as well."
