progressive aal, icon or wheelers

So ive decided to ditch my 2" aal for a progressive aal but I cant decide who I want to buy it from. Ive heard the icons rust easily but the wheelers pack squeaks a lot and it is $50 less. I just want a better ride out of my rear end so im sure I will be happy with either but I need help deciding between the two.

 

I've been running the wheeler's pack for almost a year now.. no squeaking.

 

I'm rocking the icon 3 leaf aal paired with the tsb 4 leaf pack and it's great! I'd suggested either 3 leaf aal over a single leaf btw...

 

Have you noticed any rust

 

Yeah ive had the 2" single aal for about two years now, the ride is pretty harsh.

 

Are you guys running with or without the overload spring? I haul a dirt bike and gear every week totaling about 300lbs. I want the smoothest ride possible so if I can do without the OL spring and still carry some weight thats the route I want to take.

 

Just checked... there is a little.

 

Just has the wheeler's 3-leaf hd pack installed. No squeaking and the backend feels really nice. I left the overload spring in.

 

Thanks for the pics, thats not bad at all

 

How does the ride compare to stock with the HD springs?

 

I think it rides very nice compared to the stock springs. I also had new 5100s installed all around. The combination of the two make for a nice ride. It is slightly more stiff than the stock suspension but not overly so.

 

Haha I know this thread is about dead, but would there be any problem with just spraying some undercoat on the icons before you install them to prevent the rust issue?

 

That should be fine. I would put a little grease between the leaves.

 

Icons rust immediately, but ride very nice

 

Good old revival!!

I put two coats of rustoleum black on my Icon leafs before I installed them. Look good so far. (3Months)

 

Checking in on a 1 yr follow up on this? Any one recommend the Wheelers over the Icon? Hows the rust issue going also? Has it progressed or did the rustoleum do the trick?

Looking to make the purchase on one or the other this weekend
