I installed a Stage 2 icon suspension kit in the fall of 2016. They installed fine and really enhanced the suspension. In Feb 2017 I began noticing oil on my driveway. After some investigation it was clearly coming from the rear driver side Icon shock. The front driver shock was also leaking although not pooling in the driveway. In May 2017 I began noticing severe instability at high speeds after hitting minor road bumps. At this point the driver side shocks are empty of fluid and not providing any shock absorption. I can rock the drivers side and it keeps bouncing for several seconds. The passenger side does not bounce like this.
It is incredibly disappointing to me for a $2,500 suspension kit to go bad so quickly. I would have been so much better off staying with stock. It looks like Icons have a history of this problem although maybe it impacts all these so called high end shocks.
I've called Icon a couple of times with no response from them. Their service guy in Denver did say he could rebuild them for a fee if Icon won't cover it. I am about to just pull them off and try to get a more reliable product. So disappointed because I burned $2,500 on them and wasted a Saturday installing them. Now I have an unsafe vehicle right as 4 wheeling season kicks off.
