The fellow I bought my manual hubs and spindles from has a set of Icon 58716Cs he's parting with since he's going SAS, Icon V.S RR 2.5" w/700# coils
We discussed a price ($1,600) which included him shipping them to icon for repairs, a tune up, and Icon shipping them to me
Icon reported back basically recommending rebuilding the entire shock at a cost of over $720
He is talking to Icon to see if which of the "recommended updates" are required, since they pretty much listed the kitchen sink
I know these shocks retail for $2,100+ but I'm not sure I want to sink close to that on used, rebuild shocks
So I've been doing some research in the meantime
Brand new Icon 58716-700, same shock & spring, minus CDCV, for about $1,600 brand new
These are off the shelf, and don't have the "tune on the fly" CDCV option
Radflow is another option, Opt Offroad and Sonoran Steel both premiere them
A similar Radflow, 2.5" body with external reservoir and 700# coils, are about $100 more but are "built to order" off of a questionnaire sent after ordering and then a 16 week delay
Ultimately I'm looking for a front shock to handle anything I throw at it but I don't plan on long travel at this time. I would like to lose the front sway bar if possible and am willing to add limit straps to my factory LCAs. Next tires will be 33s but I might consider 35s in the future and start cutting this bitch.
Looking for opinions, sorry for the long post
