Our measurements were good enough for a proper spring adjustment. Sorry my driveway isn’t level.

Fair. But those long hauls, a little help to reduce fatigue would be nice to have. I’m sure your thoughts are in line with the manufacturer for safety. I can live with that.

We figured it out. You can use regular cruise control… but not adaptive with lane assist. Still kind of annoying not being able to use adaptive… but that’s at least better than nothing.

We went back to Icon for re-evaluation to factor in the bumpers and tow ball weight when towing. Swapped for a stiffer spring. A bit of a rake when unloaded, a small squat when loaded… but a happy medium. Felt good driving and I think this is where we’ll leave it.

I said it wasn’t on level ground… you have to average the two rears to get an honest measurement.

Right before we did the bumpers, etc… we measured center hub to bottom fender. With ICON CDEV (on not perfectly level ground) we were: FL - 23 3/4 BL - 24 5/8 FR - 23 1/4 BR - 24 1/4 Icon lift with Dissent bumpers, winch, rock rails and roof rack (also not perfectly level ground): FL - 23 3/4...

Yes. We’ve got the stage 10 CDEV Billet on our Overtrail+. I believe we’ve put about 7k miles on the ICON kit it so far. Love it. Haven’t put many dirt miles on it yet, because we’ve been working through some other upgrades. We’ll hit some dirt for a trip soon. Not getting error codes...

They are still in the R&D phase for the Overtrail and Overtrail+. I don’t work for ICON, so I can’t give you specifics, but I do know they were shooting for end of summer. I also know that there is still need for me to bring my GX in on occasion to test their solution for the AVS disconnect...

Just dropped our GX550 off at Dissent Offroad for a ‘mild’ transformation. Can’t wait to see the final result :)

Not sure if it’s just our trim level (Overtrail +) or if this is the case with all trims… but Adaptive Cruise and Lane Tracing Assist disables when a trailer is detected?!? We’re going to do some long distance camper towing and it seems ridiculous that these features disable when a trailer is...

The Icon lift is a leveling lift, so any trailer is going to weigh it down. Stock GX 550 has a rake built in, so when you tow, it levels out. Tongue weight for this camper is about 350lbs. We’re going to go back for stiffer springs in the rear as our new trailer (not pictured) has a 500lb...

It’s stiffer in general I think, but has levels of adjustment. We’ve dialed it in to our preference. We soften it up for the dirt. It’s also got a tow mode to stiffen the rear for towing.

Not worth damaging an 80k rig for views. We knew ground clearance is an issue based on previous experience.
