    I just bought the Icon stage 3 suspension kit. It comes with a progressive AAL. I know this will be great for wheeling but what do I do when I want to tow something? I know air bags would fix that issue, but I don't want to put air bags on then pop one if try to wheel to hard. Any thoughts?

    How much are you planning to tow? Does it squat really bad when loaded up or are you just assuming it will?

    I regularly towed 5k with a progressive AAL (Deaver) without issue.

    You won't pop an air bag. Get the Daystar cups so the axle can drop away from the bags for better flex.

    I'm just assuming it will. You just never know when someone is gonna want you to help them move or something right?? Not sure how much diff there is between the Icon and the Deaver...

    My guess is Icon is a lot better so I think you'll be fine. My truck was perfectly level with a WDH and my lift.
