    After 2+ years, my Icon RXT leaf spring(s) got noisy. The OEM white pads look OK but seem to be ABC plastics. Will take the springs off to clean and fix them soon. Any better pads than the OEM ones? Need to fit in the spring holes and no modifications.

    When you say pads, do you mean bushing for the stock shackles?

    I think he means the plastic pads between the leaves.

    Mine aren't that old but after 6 months I seperated the leafpack and sprayed them down with fluid film. Got rid of the squeeks and creeks. Would be nice if they made the pads out of UHMW or Derlin plastic. Don't know of any that are available though.

    The round white plastic things that live in between the leaves.
