Good afternoon members!
Now that we are here as one of the Sponsors we want to make sure were are here to help everyone out the best we can. Not just for parts but also for technical details and assistance. Since we have our own 2022 Tremor shop build we are able to get on our hands on different products as well as share our mindset of the build. And even if anyone has a different goal for their build we hope to be able to assist in any way possible.
Our Tremor build is an overland inspired build. Although the Tremor is more than capable from the factory to handle the outdoors, we couldn't possibly leave such a nice vehicle stock So the first thing we dug into was the suspension. A lot of you already know (or may not know) that there aren't too many Tremor "specific" kits out there currently. And even a lot of manufacturers state that kits do not fit on the Tremor model. But knowing what we knew in terms of other trim levels and the Tremor we had a hunch things could work out just fine. So we hit the ground running and went straight for the Icon CDCV 2.5 kit.
The install was just like any other install. Everything bolted up just fine. We did have to take a few extra steps for our specific build to make things work which we have highlighted in our write up. We then swapped out our UCA's which were the easiest UCA install we have ever done. Once all that was done, came the rear. Now for the rears we still used the Icon CDCV 2.5 shocks, but we wanted to swap out the leaf packs as well. As many of you may know, there are no Tremor specific leaf packs on the market. This was not something that just any ol' kit would work. We had to do some digging and make a few phone calls. The answer to our hopeful idea was the Icon RXT leaf packs for the 2nd Gen Raptors. From the specs of the pack they seemed to align with the Tremor OEM packs. We spoke to Icon and they mentioned the idea was being tested, but did not confirm fitment guarantees.
To our knowledge, we were the first shop to attempt this set up on a Tremor and to our joy, the kit worked. Everything fit as it should, but we did have to modify a few things. To start, we needed drop shackles. We knew this going into the build so we decided to install the MaxTrac shackles. Next we knew the OEM bump stops would end up being to short due to the new open space we had from the RXT's. So we swapped out the OEM ones for the Timbren SES Bump stop kit. All simple and easy bolt on products.
For those interested; we have a full write up on our website! Or you can follow the link below for more details. We also give some tips and tricks on how we went abut this specific install. You can use Icons install directions to get the install done, but we found a few snags that we tackled and addressed on the write up. Let us know what you think or if you have any questions! We've added a few images below after the install to show some of the items used.
