Rear suspension, leaf spring replacement

[B0neCrush3r]

What coil overs could i use to replace the leaf springs?

Does anyone know what ICON is running front and rear?

Im looking to upgrade.

Thanks

ICON is running a custom Art Morrison frame with double-triangulated 4-link rear suspension and your choice of FOX (standard?) or KING coilovers based on what I've seen in terms of their builds at SEMA and such. They may also offer other brands of coilovers like ADS, Radflo, etc, but I've never had reason to inquire whether that's the case.

That said, if you want to run coilovers in the rear, you first need to figure out how you're going to locate the axle and what type of link suspension you might want to engineer/design/fabricate and run. James Duff offers the closest thing to a complete rear 4-link for the EB's of which I'm aware, as there was a thread recently that Krawler's Edge isn't anymore, but JD's uses coil springs, not coilovers.

Thank you, will do some more research and post back.

If you're gonna talk to vendors in your research make sure to mention bumpers, tire carriers or any notable amounts of weight above normal you might run in the rear so you dont sag.
