    I bet that rides like shit. At that lift height you have zero down travel left.

    3.25”-5” lift is unobtainable without a drop bracket lift.

    Even with the silly diff drop your cv angles are likely still garbage.

    Point being:

    But, welcome to the site.

    Thanks for the welcome :) surprisingly the lift rides identically to the prior 1.5" spacer/OEM strut lift. This is just an option for people out there, really focusing on people interested in the Icon stage 1. As mentioned you can adjust it from 2-5". At 3" with diff drop kit our CV boot fins are not touching, good enough imo for what we will be using vehicle for.

    I can't imagine why this would be a problem anyway. Many people are running 3" lifts without dropping the differential, if I'm not mistaken.

    I plan on lifting the front 2-3" eventually, and I definitely will NOT be lowering the differential. The whole reason for lifting the front is to gain some ground clearance. If you drop the differential, you just lost any clearance you've gained.

    I like that it's an adjustable front strut kit. That's really cool!

    I don't like that the minimum lift height is 2.5". I would rather the adjustments went from 0-3" personally.

    I heard that Eibach will be coming out with something similar soon, for both the front and back. I think it will be more along the lines of 0-3" adjustment.

    Thanks for the review! Much appreciated :cheers:
