Icon 'Stage 8' Billet kit just installed...and, "oops!?!"

[kodiakisland]

Have you had much luck with ICON customer service? I had a issue with a set of there shocks last week. Their customer service was very disappointing. I hope you have better luck. You have a top of the line setup.

I had great service with mine. Had to replace all 4 under warranty. Called them up and they made it easy.

Sorry for the leaving “like” out, I’ve got proof read better. Thanks I’ve had electronic ride on a couple of cars and it was really nice and if it works as advertised it should be great on the Bronco as well

ooppsss....ya did it again ...but no worries, my dyslexia added a few words and it all translated in the end.

How did you get to customer service, I wait on hold for a extended time then it pushes you to voicemail. When I was able to finally get a person they were very polite but had no real knowledge of the product in question. I will try again, maybe I may be able to get a different individual. Thanks

Don't know. I've called them twice and someone helpful answered both times. Followup emails were always replied to in a reasonable time.

Icon has great customer service, but they are always busy. Call as soon as they open, do not wait. You’ll probably get Zoe or John. Both are extremely knowledgeable and proactive. Zoe was the one who explained to me about the revision, and John answered every question I asked.

I have Icon stage 8 tubular with Method 703’s and 0 offset running KM3 37x12.5 r17.

I know it’s not the exact same of course but this setup on the stage 8 has been amazing for what it’s worth and no rub.

Hey 85c.r. ...thanks for pointing me in a good direction, I'm gonna order the Method 705, crossing my fingers they are in stock! And I'll stick with the 35" tires I have for now.

Awesome! I've been very impressed with method and their internal bead grip as well.

Their bead grip wheels are fantastic! I run them on my Raptor when I’m in Baja. Wanted them for the Bronco, but unfortunately they weren’t in stock when I was ready to buy. Went with Icon wheels.

hold the horses: I ended up taking a different route (hopefully I didn't scew up):

It’s your truck, how can you screw up? Nice wheel, I’m just not a black wheel fan. You don’t need bead locks / bead grip wheels, but it helps if you want to really air down. Run what you like!

Thanks! I have the Icon Silver Bronco, so black works well...I can also swap out the silver nuts on the beauty ring of these wheels to go entirely 'tuxedo-black'

By screw up, I just meant 'Offroad capabilities'...Method is highly regarded, I'm not experienced with FIFTEEN52...so I hope that won't become a regret

You can, and should get black Gorilla spline lug nuts!

@TheGoodBadUgly I wanted to thank you for raising this thread. I have an Icon Stage 3 kit waiting for time for me to install with stock sas wheels, I didn't catch this issue before you raised it.

yes...seems ICON missed the R&D on this detail, or just missed their marketing edits, too! (see the attached from Icon website Tech Info for the Stage 8 kit...the recommended numbers appear to be in the 'no rub' zone for the kit with their wheels, though not Sasquatch wheels....hhmmm

I have the Icon Stage 8 on my Broncos. One has 37/18s with +18 offset. The other has +12 offset. No issues at all. There is plenty of Upper Control Arm clearance on both. I can easily slide my hand between the back of the tire and UCA. I would think the +30 offset Sasquatch wheels should fit as well.

This is an amazing suspension system. A lifted Bronco on 37s is Not supposed to handle like it does. Many smiles per mile!

Normal driving set to 2 out of 10 for a nice soft, smooth ride. G-Force maxed out at 10. Corner Boost maxed out at 10. The harder you push it the better it responds.
