    Specifically this one.

    https://bilsteinlifts.com/shop/95-04-toyota-tacoma/icon-1-5-lift-rear-expansion-pack-add-leaf-96-13-toyota-tacoma/

    Does anyone have this leaf pack? Does it ride better than the factory springs as they claim? On my last tacoma I had a 1.5" toytec aal and it rode very stiff and uncomfortable. On my current truck I just went with a 1" block because I didn't want to sacrifice the ride again.

    I'd like to go up to 1.5" in the rear, but I'd rather go with actual suspension lift. I want to try and keep ride quality though. Any input appreciated.

    So you don't replace the factory leaf pack or you do? Is the icon setup literally just removing the factory overload and adding icon leafs?

    You can either remove the stock AAL or keep it in there and add that Icon AAL.

    I run Wheeler's 3-leaf AAL. Rides great and cheaper. No regrets. They have a heavy duty version too.

    I have the Wheelers HD AAL in my truck, and the ride is better than stock. Though I have a shell, rack and always have some work tools, so my truck sits at 4600 pounds with me in it. But even when it is empty the ride is better, it almost never bottoms out on the bump stops. Highly recommended upgrade. I left the factory overload leaf in, and got around 2" of lift.

    I have. Have had it for 2 years no. No problems so far. Its stiffer then stock and rides much better with some weight in the back. But that could also be due to the 2.5s in the back. I removed my stock overload spring
