I’m ready to pull my Icon spring out and put the stock springs back in or purchase a used set of Tremor springs..
They are over an inch higher with 140 pounds in the bed and they squeak over every bump. I greased the pads on the springs but they still squeak and I hate it..
I have been holding out on doing a review on them from stage 3…
I may remove one of the springs but unsure what one to remove, anyone have what one?
Ok venting over
Where are you getting the used springs from?

I keep going back and forth on these versus ordering the global multi-leaf springs from across the pond.

I also saw one reviewer on Stage3 said he removed the 3rd leaf entirely, leaving the pack with 5 leaves. They said the truck rides great, and it left it right at stock ride height. I know this isn't one of ICON's options and they're not going to recommend it, but could it really hurt?
that was me . it did, but i eventually put it back in. i’m on global leafs now. not quite as plush as icons, but it kept me around stock and is way better than the mono leaf.

Yeah I just installed a set of the Wildtrak/global springs this past weekend. It rides so much better in the rear that now the front springs feel harsh. Just can’t win.

it’s a process. swap the fronts out for eibach coilovers and your done.
i’m actually satisfied with where mine is at now, and i’m uber picky.

I’ve got an Eibach Pro 2.0 kit I’m selling… full coilover front and shocks in the rear. Great setup, but I needed something more HD.
