    I'm looking to replace my rear springs. They seem flat and might even be bent the wrong direction some. I don't really want to lift it or wheel it too hard. Just looking to return to factory stance with better quality more durable product. Any idea what's best? I've heard OME is good but squeaky. General Spring??

    All the things!
    For near factory height, go with Icon RXT's.

    For "best" leafs (IMO) go with Deaver U402's... but you'll get 2" of lift with those.

    Alcan makes custom packs. They have great customer service over the phone. They'll ask you all the questions to make sure you get what you are looking for. I went with them and couldn't be happier. My plans changed after I placed my order and they were able to accommodate the new changes.

    Read the thread on the Icon RXT’s, I just posted in there.
    These ride nice, you just need to figure out what leaf-pack option will work best for you. BUT… mine are noisy (squeaky/creaking) as hell. I knew the risk going in, just hoped for the best… going through the motions of trying to silence the noise now.

    Not sure what alcan does different but mine are not super squeaky. Just minor squeaks and creeks after a rain

    Another vote for Alcan.

    Mine are squeaky though, just the nature of poly bushings in certain trucks. I am getting ready to pull and re-lube and try another grease. I've been keeping mine mostly noise free with some silicone spray.

    I had RXT's before hand, they were quiet for a year and then the bushings started making horrible noises.
