Awesome, thanks for the links. I will give this a try and see if it gets rid of my squeaks.

I noticed squeaking right around the same time. I went to a few suspension shops around town and was told the polyurethane bushings cannot be swapped with rubber bushings because I won't be able to find the exact size needed. I do not want to compromise the safety or quality of the suspension...

Correct, I do not have max tow.

The shop that installed it told me the lift out of the box made the truck sit lower than stock. They adjust them to have close to 2" of threads showing, which was equivalent to about 2.25" of lift. I currently still have about 1" of rake at this setting.

Honestly I wish I went with the Stage 1 kit instead and kept the stock control arms. After 1k miles they are squeaking on every bump, and I believe the squeak is coming from the UCA's or polyurethane bearings in the UCAs.

Height is not maxed out, I am at about 2.25" of level. I am enjoying the ride quality, however after 1k miles of driving they are squeaking on any sort of bump. I cannot figure out if its the bearings / coilover / UCAs but it does not seem to go away unless my drive is longer than 15-20 minutes...

Haha that is exactly why I decided to go with the Icons, figured I would be waiting a long time

So far I am enjoying the ride quality a lot more. It is definitely stiffer than the stock suspension, but it feels much more planted going over any bumps or ruts, and you feel them a lot less.

I have gotten a lot of help by viewing threads in this forum while deciding how I wanted to build my truck, so I figured I would share mine: I have a 22 Lariat in Space White Toyo AT3 35x11.5R20 (Actual dimensions are 34.51 x 11.4) Fuel Rebel 6 Anthracite 20" +1 Offset Icon Stage 2 Suspension...
