    So right now I'm between Icon add a leaf (part 51100), Wheelers off road single add a leaf (part AAL22), and the Tuff Country add a leaf (part 85250)

    Anyone have any of those? Which one would you recommend and why??

    A 3-leaf AAL would be better than a single, smoother ride/progressive spring rate.

    I have the Icon 3 leaf aal and I really like it. The ride is great. Last week I towed a fully loaded 6x12 Uhaul trailer from Alabama to the High Rockies in Colorado. 1500 miles and had the bed full too. Was sitting very bro with the trailer hitched but once we unloaded and un-hitched the trailer it came back up to where it should be.

    Pretty sure they are all the same 3 leaf AAL, just different vendor name.

    So those AAL are just rebadged. They’re literally out of the same place. You can’t go wrong either way, maybe cheaper, but not wrong.

    I’m running Wheelers and it rides great.
