    So I have an icon 3 leaf progressive add a leaf. It rides super smooth and articulates fairly well. gives me about 1.5 inches of lift. Here’s the thing I do not like, since it is progressive, if you add 200 lbs in the back it sags more than a wangster from the early 2000s. So my question to y’all is....what happens if I add a single leaf (of a different length of course) to the add a leaf I already have. Do you guys think ride quality goes to shit?

    I have the same AAL but kept the overload to carry gear and tow. It is definitely stiff when I’m not hauling anything but doesn’t sag at all when I’m pulling a trailer.

    Interesting, I have the overload in too! And it’s very smooth for me (~ 100lb bumper+40lb soft topper+30lb bed mat + 2 5 lb tow hooks)
    But still not that much weight! So I don’t know why yours would be so stiff. And idk why it doesn’t sag when you tow. When I tow or camp it sags so much. It sags Less and less the more you weigh it down because it’s progressive, But ~200-300lbs in the back and that thing SAGS

    But anywho, do you think the ride quality would go to shit if I were to add a leaf to this pack? I just want opinions before I spend 2.5 hours to find out it rides like complete utter ass
