[QUOTE="kromealt, post: 1401532, member: 19279"] On different gen2's, I have had 3 sets of Deavers and decided to try Icon this time - my results with Icon has been terrible in comparison. I also suffer from build quality issues and major clunks over big bumps and have narrowed it down to three areas. [LIST] [*]The ubrackets in the rear that hold the leaf pack together comes in contact with the outer mufflers on both sides. [*]In comparison to previous Deavers there is a noticeable gap between the leafs which causes them to slap together over extreme articulation, the pad inserts are supposed to minimize this but there shouldn't be any gaps. [*]Lastly, the pack comes preinstalled with bushings from the factory and the rear bushings aren't the correct size - there's a noticeable gap between the poly bushing and shackle so the recommended 86ish/lbs spring to shackle torque isn't enough - I ended up going 136 like gen1 to resolve this one. (Deaver came with 2 poly bushing sizes, Icons are the same front/rear) [/LIST] I spent some time trying to communicate with Icon initially after purchase and ultimately gave up because they ignore emails and shrug you off when you call. Your results may vary but I regret getting Icon and really wish I would have stuck with the tried and true Deavers. [/QUOTE]
