What's your setup? How much weight do you have in the rear? I've had both so... I am uniquely qualified to answer this question.

I have ICON set at option 2. Which levels the truck having Fox 2.5 front and rear with fronts set at about 2 inches. Carry about 600 pounds or so with gear and accessories mounted on vehicle. Running 32.5 KO2 tires no issues. Option 3 was too high back was up a couple of inches. Some complain about the springs being noisy I have no such problem and very happy with ride quality. I dee they are listed on Stage 3 for two prices around $350 and also $700? I paid $700 almost 5 years ago.

Pretty sure that's 1 vs pair pricing.

I got a bed rack weighs around 250lbs with my equipment on (lights, shovels, axe, 4 gallon water tank, ) and in the bed of my truck I have 2 gunner kennels (weighs about 250lbs with dogs in) awning shower tent 20lbs, 5 gallon gas jug and a roam box with recovery equipment about 80lbs. That’s when I’m fully loaded not counting my fishing equipment / hunting gear or luggage’s I sometimes take. Plus the spare 31.5 tire in the spare tire place.

On the regular I only have my 1 gunner kennel, recover gear, bed rack with equipment and the empty 4 gallon.

I do have a rear she’s shackle that give a a one inch lift but can go to normal lift if needed.

With that weight, I would go with the 2.2 OME springs. The Icon are really soft and, when I was loaded down, made the truck really wollowy. They couldn't handle the weight. The OME have done significantly better. The Icon are great for around OE weight and lifting the rear or keeping the rear where it is with a little bit of weight. They're only rated for 600 lbs, if I remember correctly, at stage 3.

That’s a clean set up! Difference in driving from road to off-road?

Not a daily driver only use for camping and off road trips. Handling is great for both. No rock crawling, but some pretty rough trails and very happy with both on and off road handling. Do not get the softness issue maybe the Fox account for that they are adjustable and are set towards the firmer end.

I'm in a somewhat similar spot, I noticed my rear suspension was extra squishy once i put the fiberglass canopy on with the Fox 2.0's. I'm guessing it weighs about 300 lbs, plus a swing case with tools, probably 75 lbs total. I'm leaning towards the medium load OME springs, any thoughts?

I don't carry a ton regularly right now, looking at building out a basic bed camping setup, so not a ton of extra weight will be added, at least nothing that is on the truck full time. Thinking down the road (if i keep the truck that long), getting BP-51's so i can get some compression adjusters for the occasional extra weight.

For what you have in the back I would go with Old Man EMU over ICON. It would be a question of choosing the Standard Leaf Packs or the Medium Leaf Packs. Both are designed to lift the rear about 1.6 inches. The Standard is designed to be at that height with no weight. With complete Old Man EMU suspension about 800 LBS will level out the truck. The Medium Leafs are designed for the lift height carrying about 660 LBS.

Here’s your Icon springs that don’t make noise.

Good day sir, just checking the OME website and it shows a 3 plus one, and a 4 plus one leaf pack. I'm assuming that is what your referring too when you say Medium and standard?

My camping setup is also pretty heavy, and was thinking of going with the 4 plus 1 package!
The Smart Cap, 270 awning and RTT while be on the truck minimum, at all times!

You need to know the total added weight to get the correct answer. Once you have the answer, get ahold of ARB and they will help you out
