    I just had an Icon Stage 7 Tubular suspension kit installed on my 2019 4Runner. I went with the 14" front 700lb coils and the 3" overland rear spring. I replaced my last setup due to adding front bumper/winch and since I am installing an expedition one single swing out with tire carrier in the next few weeks. The prior fox suspension kit was great, but i felt the car was struggling at times. And the ride became much rougher.

    First impressions are literally night and day. When I say it rides like butter, I really mean it. There are no words to explain the quality of the Icon product and their customer service. I had 4wheel parts in Van Nuys do the install. They were fantastic as well. The car sits raked right now as the technician advised they installed the kit out of the box to allow it to settle before bringing me back in 2 weeks to adjust the front ride height and do a re-alignment.

    I'll post pictures after the front height is adjusted. The back with the 3" overland spring sits much higher than the front. I haven't measured, but the space between the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender is likely 3" greater in the rear right now. This will even out once the front coilovers are adjusted upwards, the rear bumper/tire carrier is installed, and the springs naturally settle to their destined position.

    Happy to answer any questions along the way. Have a great weekend everyone.
