    You cut the farthest clip on the back end of the factory leaf pack. Also the very bottom leaf spring is the overload spring.

    Are you planning on leaving the overload in or taking it out?

    If taking it out you might not have to cut/modify anything. When I installed the Icon progressive without the overload no modification was needed. Some do and some don't. When I added the overload back in grinding off a keeper/clip on each overload was required.

    That's what I was thinking but it does not reach, and in order for me to get it to reach I have to put so much tension on the ebrake line, and I know there shouldn't be that much tension.

    The AAL has a bracket in the front of it. That is what I connect it to. At full droop the cable is still good.

    Or you can just zip tie the sliding e-brake cable bracket to the front where it is stationary. That where I tied mine off to when I switched to a full leaf pack. No issues when I was wheeling.

    Lol thanks I got that part down. Bad part is the icon ubolt nuts would not thread all the way. I tried to get some on but the nuts heated up so I used the stock ubolts.
