[QUOTE="funkified, post: 1735453, member: 51083"] Looking to rebuild the rear end with some new leafs. Use potential: 85% street + 15% wishful offroading So I looked into a set of ICON RXT's PART #198501 with hardware kit #95220H. This bundle will roughly run me about $1800-2000 CAD at this time. Not including install or replacement shackles and hardware, so another $200 or so. As I understand stock shackles will work just fine. I can get new OEM leafs with shackles, bushings and hardware for about $1200CAD An RPG traction bar is $1500US plus border fees for me so Im looking at about $2300CAD. I like RPG as they are bolt on, and not welded. Im looking to replace as much old stuff as possible as they are rusty. Budget is always a concern, but I will spend if its worth it. Was just thinking if stock leafs+traction bar is a good option, or just go for the gold and get the ICONS + traction bar. I guess the only caveat I cannot answer is if I will be loading the bed with a topper, a bed slide or any consistent amount of weight. If I were planning that then Im guessing the ICONS would be best. After reading about the ICONS some more, I see there are issues with contact to the OEM exhaust, possible required upgraded bump stops, or longer brake lines needed. Ultimate goal is to make a great daily while restoring what I can in the process. Im in Canada, so its not like theres desert runs for me to do on the regular. Of course during my annual pilgrimage to Vegas I will hire [USER=43801]@John M[/USER] and VRAT can show me the sights! Im rambling now, but any input is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
