leaf spring

[dudmleh522]

I've been doing lots of research between Deaver or Icon leaf springs. I here lots of great feedbacks from both, I am so overwhelmed on which route to go so I am posting to hear some feedbacks from the community. I have 2018 SCREW. Currently have bed rack, fridge, awning which equals to around 250 pounds.
When I measure each fender to ground is 40.75" from the hitch 17.5" at 37PSI.

I will be adding 170 pound Tuff Stuff Alpha tent once it arrives. Not doing high speed off road or rock crawl. Mainly stick to forest service roads to go camping. I love the stock ride feels nice and soft but I know it will sag once I get a tent up there. How can I maintain soft ride without sagging?

not sure if this picture tells you if my stock leaf is worn/flat but here is the picture.

I'm still waiting on Icon to replace mine, the good is that they reached out to me after I made a comment on IG. They Dm'd me and want to make it right by replacing them, however I'm loosing faith, been waiting. They are waiting on a shipment. Mine make clunking sounds, for now just the passenger side. I can't recommend Icon just yet. Go with Deaver, they've been doing leafs longer.

I run Icon stage 2. I run ~500 pounds in the bed consistently. Two full spares, jack, gas cans, power tank, box full of tools, etc.

Leafs handle it well. I jump the truck on average 40-50 times per month if not more. After 2 years the leafs are finally starting to show some signs of use. They handle weight much better than any of my friends deavers but they all have deaver SD, not HD.

Just installed Option 3. UPS just straight up destroyed one of my bushings and lost the hardware kit that comes with it. Icon replaced both very, very quickly. The ride quality is night and day compared to stock. Also have Geisers on the front. Option 3 is sitting at 45 1/2 in with 37 in Copper Discoverer STT pros. Doesn't fit in the garage now but putting on a 2k mile trip in two days, hopefully brings it down the inch i need to clear the garage door again.

I'd go with Deaver +3 non HD... I have the +2 and have about 150 pounds of shit in my bed at all times, level. I much prefer Deaver over Icon, Deaver has been making springs since horse and buggy days.
