    Anyone have a picture of their truck with bilstein 5100's and eibach springs. The ones that are supposed to provide 1.6 inches of lift. Post pictures if you have them and what the ride quality is like.
    thanks

    Will be installing this same lift this Saturday. Stay tuned for pic updates and install stories.
    BTW, if you are looking for this lift, check out Headstrong off-road. Best prices and awesome customer service. Located in So-Cal (Hemet) too.

    What setup would you like to see? 5100s at 0", 0.85", 1.75", or 2.5"? I have 5100s at 0.85" with Eibachs for a lift of 2.5"

    Justus, would you please compare icon leafs to a stock pack with a toytec aal? Load, lift height, road comfort, and bumps/off road? Thanks.

    Carries a load comparable to tsb pack with toytec aal as far as droop. Ride is softer loaded or unloaded. Height without overload is approx 1.5" .

    Off road it articulates well and soaks up the rough.

    I've had the truck stock....... Then had the truck stock with tsb......
    Then had the truck with these shocks and rear toytec aal....,...

    And now this setup..... I'm much happier now.

    Really? Softer unloaded? I'm glad you have had all three so you have a good comparison. How much are icon leafs? When I get tired of my Aal would you recommend icons, or a 3 leaf progressive pack? As far as street comfort. I very occasionally carry a load, maybe a handful of times a year.

    That's what you have I'm assuming and looking at your build thread.

    Thanks for your testimony. Not that I don't believe you, but how can adding leaf springs (3 leaf aal) to a stock pack make it ride softer?

    Ur welcome..... And yes the icon 3 leaf is 3 thin leaves and this somehow made things more compliant than I remember stock.
    And tons more compliant than a single thick aal.

    Maybe compressing 1 or more of the 3 thin leaves on the truck during a bump is easier than a stock leaf?

    I wonder how the icon 3 leaf compares to a new icon pack. And if the icon 3 leaf is different than other progressives
