    Less. I removed the overload bar which is about a half inch.

    I got 1" total

    is it recommended to take out the overload bar? Any Pros and cons? Also, how much weight are you running on your Icon progressive pack?

    Icon recommends removing it; I did with mine and have yet to regret it. ALTHOUGH; in retrospect I wish that I had kept them in there as we are about to install some 887 coils in the front and I'm afraid it will sit higher in the front than in the rear, now. We shall see

    awesome thank you. I have a GFC which is about 275 pounds and nothing in the bed from a daily drive perspective, but with gear on trips, I could push no more than 500. Do you think that weight is fine for the Icon's? I'm lifting the front 2 inches so I think there should be a little bit of rake on my gen3 taco. Any thoughts?

    Yeah, I purchased them to help with a sagging situation I encounter whenever I tow the bikes/quads around; it does wonderfully. I think with that setup, it couldn't hurt to throw yours on with the AAL, and if it ends up riding too stiff; just remove 'em.

    Aaahhhh I just re-read your question; I misunderstood. I'm running the factory leafs with the Icon AAL; I don't know how they would work with a Deaver or OME replacement leaf packs. I'm sorry!

    Leaving it meant modifications that did not make sense like grinding off the sides.

    I don't carry much weight so the new AAL I figure makes up for the missing overload bar.
