I took it back to ICON with the new weight and trailer hitch / ball weight information. They swapped the rear springs for a stiffer spring rate to compensate for the changes.
The CDEV from ICON is an independent system and works well. We’ve never noticed any issue from the AVS disconnect. From what I understand, it only throws a code when the battery is disconnected/reconnected. I anticipate that the fix for that should be completed soon.
We’re at about 10k on them. Went on a week long trip. Forest service trails, mild but rocky rough at times. Never felt the need to air down. If I were in my Wrangler, airing down would have been the first thing I did. Super smooth ride.
Barely notice a difference. The ICON CDEV shocks are heavy hitters. I thought I’d feel more body roll, but the shocks adjusted and haven’t really noticed.
I guess I should have posted these a while ago. Didn’t realize how long it’s been. Here’s our rig as it sits today. :)

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.
