That's Mr Asshole to you
I think I found a discount code for them on TW last year when I was looking at that kit.

Let me know how you like the BOSS kit. I wish I would have saved a little money and gone that route instead of the Icon.

My Icons have already puked fluid after 10K miles and I know a handful of other people that had failures like that within the first year. Also I suspect they are the cause of an annoying front end noise. And finally I could have saved a little money had I gone with the BOSS kit.

Is it like a high pitched rattling everytime you hit a bump? I know when my old ones went, the noise was coming from the bottom washer bouncing around inside the coil. I only found out about it when I took the shock off.

Bottom washer in the cool? Not sure what you mean by that.
I hear mine at low speeds usually under 30. At first I thought it was my winch bumper touching the factory bumper so I trimmed. No help. Put nylon washers between my skid plate and frame so it's not touching anything. Made sure everything was tight and no help.
I don't remember the noise when I had the factory coils installed while the Icons got rebuilt but I also was not driving it much.
I did notice the lower coil mount is like this and could be moving and contacting the LCA but I am not sure that is what I am hearing.

@tex There's your problem. Your supposed to have a spacer that offsets it. You are supposed to have one on each side. Your shock should not be that close to the CV axle.
