    Hello all, I currently have icon 2.5 coilovers up front on my taco and with the addition of my pelfreybilt plate bumper and sliders, I would like to upgrade to 700 lb springs. My question is, should I go with ICON's springs for $120 a piece, total $240.00, or King springs for $85 a piece, total $170? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    All the springs on the market currently have very similar block heights and are probably all made by the same manufacturer. I'd get the ones with the color and price that match your needs.
