Starting to receive parts for the suspension upgrades!
Ordered:
Icon UCAs- Arrived
Icon triple rate rear springs- Arrived
Kind front struts
King rear shocks
All ordered from Accutune last Wednesday.
Springs and UCAs arrived today via fedex. I’m assuming the shocks will take longer since they’re being tuned per my specs.
I am not an over lander so this truck will not see a ton of extra weight added but I occasionally tow my small camper and trailer loaded with motorcycles and dirt bikes. Also, I’m definitely not pleased with the front suspension, I have bottomed out several times just coming off curbs and small dips on the trails. It’s a harsh hit that really makes me question how long the stock struts will hold up.
The stock shocks just don’t feel right after driving the Canyon AT4X so I’m doing something about it.
I chose the Icon tubular UCA because I can’t imagine a situation where I’ll need forged parts and honestly couldn’t justify the price of the other control arms that have the same style joint and bushings. Tubular just looks cool, too. I’ll be keeping an eye out for lower control arms.
How do you guys feel about the front diff drop? I doubt I’ll need it for the modest 1.5” I plan to lift. I like a little rake because I do still use my truck to tow and haul.
