    Question: I have the Icon add a leaf installed. How will my truck ride if I reinstall the leaf they took out? Sorry not sure what it is called.

    Trying to just get a bit more lift out of it. I can always turn up the front to level it.

    Thanks

    Are you talking about the Overload spring the "Frowning" one all the way at the bottom, it's thicker than the others? It wouldn't ride much different. It's utilized when loaded heavy, hence the downward arc and the thickness.

    Yes the overload spring. Thanks

    So it sounds like you can install it and add a little to the lift.

    Again thanks

    Adding the overload back in won't affect the ride. It will add about 1/2" lift and might add some driveline vibes also. I have the overload installed with my 3-leaf AAL.

    Yep, it will raise you the thickness of the leaf.
