    So I just had an Icon AAL installed with my Icon setup and the rear is sitting lower than the front. Now obviously I could lower the front so that the rear sits higher but after speaking with Icon at the shipped pre-set coilover height the rear should sit higher with the AAL and coilover front. I do have a shell and other weight in the rear of the truck. They mentioned a block could be added for the height of the sag that is caused by the extra weight in the rear. I'd like to avoid having to completely unload my rear to get a measurement and wanted to see if anyone with the Icon AAL, stock fenders, and no shell or weight in the rear could get me a center of hub to bottom of fender measurement. Would be extremely helpful, if not I'll just have to completely unload the truck. TIA.

    No overload as directed by Icon.

    According to what I have documented in my writeup, I had 23" center hub to fender rear with Icon AAL install and overload removed.

    Do you have your stock measurement as well? I bought my truck with a block so I never knew factory ride height in the rear but am measuring 22" with the Icon AAL and a shell. Feels like an inch of sag for a shell that really isn't that heavy seems like a lot...could be wrong...

    i have the icon AAL with the Overload, it measured at 24 on both sides, before it was 23 but my front sat way high. but also that was cause I had 886 OME springs in front and even after settling it was still 24 in front and 23 in rear. now with 885 its 22.5 in front and 24 in rear with overload and I like it

    How is it with the overload in there? I called Icon about that and they said they'd worry about rates since the overload wouldn't contact the leaf pack in the same way the OEM would. He suggested it would be safer to throw a block in instead of the overload. Do you offroad heavily with the truck?

    no offroading but it rides just fine I mean I ran through speed bumps at sort of fast speed never had issues at all. plus I put the OL back on cause I haul heavy stuff here and there. when I had it off I didn't like the bro lean but also it felt too soft when I had my RTT on it and slept in it. the only thing I had to do was grind off bolt torwards the rear but after doing so I notice it didn't need to be done cause the overload will not touch it. hope fully more people will chime in. but in my experience I like have the rake and the fact I can add more weight in the rear with out it sagging
