Yes, there is a bracket to buy to add compatibility. I think it’s absurd that I had to spend another $50 to make the $1k ucas comptible. But

Interesting.. are you saying the ICON kit comes with some sort of mount for the front reservoir?
Yes it does. It's just a flat piece of steel cut out by Icon that bolts to the frame and then the reservoir attaches to that with hose clamps. I
Understood and thanks for the update
. Not sure how I never noticed the rod was broken. Ended up taping it back together and its actually better. Even provides some natural "flex" haha
Where is the rod/module located? I feel my headlights are pointing a little low and want to check.A note on this. The bracket does seem to put some stress on the adaptive headlight rod connection rod. I can see why most companies don't offer anything for the adaptive headlights now. Mine snapped at some point...didnt realize it was broken and was wondering why my headlights always seemed to need some manual adjustment
They have a tech note to relocate the rod mount to the body. If I remember, it's about a 30 degree shiftA note on this.

If you do go that route, post the extended and collapsed measurements, please.
Its in the driver side wheel well, front of the UCA.
What was turnaround from "order entered into system" email to shipped?
about a day or so... really nice staff too. Local shop (well known) quoted 1200 to install (with the Icon upper control arms and alignment). Going to seek a few others before pulling the trigger
Are you going for the full 3” lift or are you going for 2.5” (all measurements over stock f150). From some of the other photos people have added when they go above 2.5” the CV boot touches or comes really close to the lower control arm. Perhaps the Icon UCA’s will give you more room?
I'm not too sure yet... and actually need to research what the actual coilovers are set at from Icon. 3" would be ideal, but I don't want the long term effects. Ill share more info as it surfaces.. Im maybe a few weeks out from install and waiting on tires (MIckey Thompson Baja Pro's... or something equivalent in 35's)
Do you know what the actual lift height was from Icons factory settings? Or did you turn them down first? In other words.. where are you measuring 23" and 26" from?
from the center of the wheel/hub to the edge of the fender in a straight line up. From Icon, he got 3" of lift (23"-26"), turned them down about 5/8" (1" thread showing) and netted about 24.5" (1.5" lift).

Droop will be the same regardless of preload (maybe use limit straps to reduce the UCA banging off of the frame?). 5/8" reduced preload=1.5" is pretty significant. That UCA and LCA pin offset must be reducing the angle noticeably.
@metallikatz3 any thoughts on those rear springs? Asking for a friend..
