Do you know what the spring rate is on your springs ?

What model of shocks are those ? How much pressure are you running in them ? Are they acting as springs or just shocks ?

Thanks !

Icon or Carli, both make a coil over kit. If you don't want coilovers, go Icon

I would recommend Carli's setup anyday. The kit is $4,500 Cant beat the ride quality.

I agree but then again I am kinda biased towards Carli's stuff.

If you are on a budget then the Basic Icon kit is a great setup for under $2k. But if you have more budget/higher expectations than you can't beat the 4.5 Carli system. It is way more complete than the Icon system even after you add all of the Icon options.

Carli's system comes with custom valved 2.5 King resi's all the way around.
They use a crossmember to beef up the radius arms drop brackets.
Extended braided stainless brakelines are used instead of brackets.
The system comes with longer replacement sway bar links with spherical bearings as opposed to drop brackets.
Rear lift comes from a multi leaf progressive add a pack as opposed to a lift block.
