    These are from blackout14 here on the forum. They are the HD 5+1 pack. He also sells a 4+1 pack for less weight and less lift. I needed to replace a 4.5in block and flattened springs that was giving me the bro lean too. Gained a little over an inch above what I was with blocks with these and the 3 degree shims.

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    What up Rob! I see your getting your lean on playa!
    Any thoughts about the Icon RXT leaf springs. My buddy rolls those loaded down with a heavy load. I thought the ride quality was nice considering all that was back there.
    Not a huge fan of the Dakar’s (seemed a bit harsh when loaded down), but the Deavers I have had on 3 trucks. Super nice springs and may get them again.
    However, I may just roll with those icon RXT a shot.

    Wifey would still be jelly if I did that but she be ok with some Bros. :rofl:

    Ah I recall who he is when I was searching.

    I've heard nothing but good things about RXTs. They can still squeak but much less than Dakars.

    I think your Bro lean is really Bro'd :D

    Not enough to list
    Just did my 6112/5160s with the OME medium duty leafs. Things are super heavy. Also put the JBA UCAs. Those long bolts for the UCAs are a pain. Watched your video. I can see why u skipped that portion lol.

    I had the lean too after upgrading to 700# springs on my ICON shocks. Not too bad but I couldn't take the look.

    I ended up swapping out the ICON 1.5 extra leafs I had for a set of HD Dakars. The ride is a little bit worse but barely noticeable and she sits way more like I want now. Selling the factory leafs with the ICON 1.5 extra leafs for cheap in Houston if anyone want to give them a shot over just the factory leafs. They added dead on 1.5" to my back end.
