Leveling Kit

[H8erskeepH8ing]

Nope, no change in any of the sensors.

I'll preface this comment by saying I had not tried it before leveling the truck, but today when I got out on the highway, the Blue Cruise was very intermittent and wouldn't stay on. I had checked previously and the highway I was on was listed as one of the Blue Cruise highways. Does it not work over a certain speed?

It doesn't work over 80, it'll go to the lite mode.

I have the as2.5 and mine works same as before.

 

[ChsTremor]

Here's some info I got after asking about a specific suspension set up for the Tremor. This is from Fox:

The Tremor starts with a 1.25” higher ride height over a standard F150 with shock lengths (front/rear) being the same. So The Tremor started at 23.25” From center of the wheel to Fender. After installing the performance series shocks (985-02-146) on the Tremor. The truck sits now at 24” center of wheel to fender edge. That’s .75” lift. From the ground to fender lip it went from 38.75” to 39.5” =.75” and down travel to 2” of down travel (from ride height). 2” lift total is what we see on a standard 3.5L Ecoboost quad cab using the same coil overs. After driving the Tremor before and after our impression is that the Tremor with our tune is better than the Tremor tune. I can’t see coming out with an entire line of shocks just for the Tremor. To achieve desired ride height using a spring compressor you can relieve spring tension off the preload ring loosen the pinch and make adjustments by hand. This needs to be done on a professional spring compressor and not on the vehicle. Some customers are using the 15-20 F150 performance series shocks (985-02-015) out of the box to yield a higher ride height, because of the heavier coil springs and firmer tune. We don't recommend this.

Sounds like another company uninterested in our small market. I really think most would like the drive of the Eibach springs and shocks. I need to get my RAS installed to see if it gives me a little rake back and how it handles.

Which setting do you have the Eibachs set at? Did you get 2.7" at the lowest or highest setting?

The lowest. Max gives you 3.4” and you will absolutely be nose high.

Have these already been discussed? I had good results with this kit on previous vehicles.

If you scroll down in the product description it states they're not meant for the Tremor

Darn.

Even the Bilstein 6112 kit they just made for the 21+F150 only gives the Tremor about 1/2" of lift and as Bilstein put it that's stretching it.

2021-UP F150 4WD 0-2.75" 2.5 VS RR CDCV COILOVER KIT
Has arrived. I spoke with Icon tech support for a third time and they confirmed a third time that I should expect around 3/4" as they came from Icon and to only expose up to 1.5" of thread externally, max. With the extra 160 pounds I'm getting ready to put on, I'll be messing with it a bunch over the next two weeks.

Edit: The instructions say a max of 2 inches of thread exposed.

Bonus update

And the external threads are already 1.5" I may have mis-heard the Icon tech.

 

[Bakes]

Did it come color matched?

If only it provided more lift... I'm running the AS 2.5 kit now and I couldn't possibly go back down with tire setup I'm running.

Pretty dang close.

Yeah, if I can get 1-1.75" of lift with the same droop length/difference, that'll be all I'm looking for. I think they come preset at 2" for a stock 4x4 f150 so there's my 1" lift. I'll preset it to be about 1.5" so it'll hopefully settle in about 1.25" with my winch on. My tires are 34.8" and 10" tread width (ET 20) so that inch is an absolute minimum. if I can get an additional .25" or so, that is ideal.

Looks like its made for the Tremor, love that!

Weeeellll, kind of. Like a lot of other companies, It fits the Tremor with limited results. I can say for sure that it is exactly 1/8" longer than our EO struts.

I'm excited to follow this build. I'm anxious to hear how much lift you can get out of the ICON kit. I also want to hear about the ride quality. I'm hoping the ride is decent with CDCV adjusted to the softest setting .

Just a thought: Maybe you should start a post so this info doesn't get lost in this thread .

I actually owe you guys a review of the bilsteins and I'll do one with the icons too.

So far, the passenger side is done but have some rubbing issues I need to address.
Eibach Droop (center hub measurement) 26 5/8" (settled)
Icon droop 27" (new)
I'm guessing the Icons have an internal bumpstop but don't know that for sure.
