between the 2 , what is your guess on the one that rides softer unloaded?

I can’t find the info I need.
For Gen 2. Eibachs up front. ARE:

Deaver HD for 850# over stock?

ICON option #2 for 400# over stock?

ICON option #3 for 800# over stock?

I need a little sag help when the boat is hooked up. And like every body else, soft ride when empty.

I have a '19 with eibachs and icons in option 2 (2.25" lift over stock empty) and I usually have an empty box around town and its not bad with ride quality. No chop in the rear end at all and a nice progressive plush-ish feel. When offroading with around 250lb-400lb of weight its level and is 100x better in ride quality in the rear with weight.
Either or brand will make the ride better over stock empty. But with a little weight in the box its a noticeable improvement over empty.

Great info.

If you split the difference and have 200 lbs, how does that feel?

Am in BC too - Victoria. Who did the suspension work for you?

Any added weight to the box will improve the ride quality even more. 200lbs of weight made it ride very smooth over all bumps and pot holes. Although pot holes are never 100% great haha.
Oh nice! I'm somewhat close to vancouver.
I installed the leafs and bump kit. Eibachs were installed at 4wp in langlet ( 5minute drive for me).
Mine being a '19 i have to go in and get my front shocks reset (electronics will read that its topping out quicker)

Great.
Whenever someone says they are 'close to YVR' it usually means they are in Surrey but don't want to admit it out loud. j/k : Not kidding.

The reset seems to be something a lot of people don't do, but makes a big difference. 4WP gets some pretty mixed reviews, but I take a lot of that with a grain of salt. I wish we had more choice in our market. I like what Overland Outfitters, NSOR, and West Coast offroad are doing but nobody has deep Raptor quals though.

Hahaha I'm on the good side of the Fraser River (pitt meadows)
Yeah I would give them mixed reviews as well haha. But they do run good deals sometimes too.
Yeah they people at all those shops are great. Especially overland outfitters and West coast, Squamish offroad is another good shop too.
Yeah most deal with fox or king and icon. Need an svc, camburg, and so on dealers up here.
