Finally had a chance to snap some pics of my setup and issue with tie rod clearance. Passenger side isn’t as bad, but at full lock, the driver side is in contact with the spring and you can see the damage that has already been caused after a few weeks of driving. Again, no off-roading done with...
Have you guys had any further luck with this issue? I can't stop hearing this noise when driving and it's making me crazy. I wish we could get a group of 2.3 7MT Broncos together and do a test on each rig.
I can't speak for the King or the Fox coilovers, as I have not seen those in person. But, to give you a visual of the issue with the ICONs, pictured below are a non-SAS coilover, a SAS coilover (with 2.5 in spacer), and the new ICON coilover.
As you can see, the ICON spring is a few inches...
Yeah, the coil length is an issue with this setup as they cause quite a bit of interference with the sway bar link and the tie-rod, depending on which orientation you put the lower pin on the fronts.
I've got the JKS tie-rod sleeves installed, which I think is one of the thinnest sleeves out...
I picked up a set of these from my local HF. The 5/8 punch works perfectly to adjust the coil overs. I’ve used it a few times on my ICONs already.

Yeah, I hear ya. I guess it looks alright in the picture, but once you place your outboard foot on it, it seems like I'm almost stepping into the door. So, my preference would be to scoot it back some, but unable due to the location of the rock rail bracket. I love the design of the brackets and...
I couldn't get either side to position in a good spot for the rear. The steps need to be mounted where the rock rail bracket is already, preventing you from mounting it in a good location. The two locations in my pictures a few posts before show the only two spots you can mount them.
So I switched mounting holes and the only place that makes sense for the step is here but there is like half an inch of clearance from the rear tire.
If you move it past the bracket for the rock rail with the new mounting holes, it’s still too far forward.
I only bought one pair of the steps for my 4-door to ensure I like them first before buying a second set for the back doors. However, I can already see the issue @SpringTXOR is describing. This is the only orientation that I can get to work for the rear. But, the step needs to be more closer to...
I'm selling a brand new set of Black MAGNUM Stirrups made by Archetype Racing (AR) for the 4-door Bronco. Surprisingly, the wife and I installed them over the weekend and decided we wanted to go a different route. So, here is your chance to scoop up a set and skip the long wait for the steps. If...
The box had seen better days and I agree with your sentiment; it was damaged during shipping. I think the packaging could have been a bit more on the "thicker" side given the beefiness of the MAGNUMS, but Tracy is already in contact and happy with the resolution she offered. So all is well.
Did you guys have any damage to your steps upon arrival? Three of the four larger pieces show wear/damage on my set. I reached out to their customer service and waiting to hear back, but I wanted to ask those that have received theirs already if they experienced something similar.
