    Planing on changing the 13” 650 springs that came on my Icons, so you know the difference between this two, I can’t find the specifications on the B12 special suspension #53-291387 springs.

    I am not familiar with the Icon Springs but the Bilstein 650# spring is 14". Not sure what the difference would be when compressed with weight. Is that the info you are looking for or did you need more?

    I went with the B12 springs, the guys from Shock Surplus suggested to get this one over the Eibach 14” 650 lbs, they said is the same spring specifications, the only difference is the B12 come in black and the price is way lower than the Eibach.

    I can tell you the Eibach springs will hold there spring rate longer. I have run Eibach on my tacoma with bilstein 5100’s and on my dirt late model with Ohlins shocks and they are some of the best springs you can get . The spring rate stays very consistent over the life of the spring and they can take a beating and hold up.
