I love the lift and have no regrets on spending the money on ICON. When you're dealing with a $50-$60k truck, $2500 for a lift is not a high price. Comparing stock suspension on factory wheels to ICON on factory wheels I find the ICON front coils to ride better. Once I put the large E rated tires on it changed the ride. It's not a huge difference, but you feel some vibration to the mud terrain tires.

With the 22x11 -24mm offset wheels I have a 4.5" lift would not fit 37's. There's a guy at Trucktoyz who has a 2011 F-250 with the ICON 4.5" with the 1" TEI spacer for a total of 5.5" running BMF 20x10 wheels and 37" tires. Here is the link to the lift that would serve your purpose.If you look at the photos the truck I'm talking about is in the photos. The lift kit does not include the 1" spacer, which is basically a leveling spacer. http://www.trucktoyzstore.com/realm/...idcategory=568

Also, you can buy another lift for less and buy only the ICON front coil springs. I believe they're in betweem $200-$300.
