    Well the Icons are adjustable so my rake maybe different than anothers....but I have about .5"-1".5" of rake, depending on what side I measure. With as much clearance as I have, its hard to notice the rake. You can see "before" pictures in my gallery and I'll be posting "after" pics as soon as I get the truck washed.

    I'd love to break in my setup and see if the right side comes down in height. Sycamore/BJ sounds great. I'm not 4wd but I do have Locking Differential. My experience out there has been that the hills I can't climb are because the trails are too gnarly with deep pits, not due to 2wd traction.

    Hey I know I’m a couple years late but I’m really looking to get the all pro standard 3 inch lift leaf pack. I’m the same boat as you when it comes to loading in the rear. I only really carry my dirt bike once in a blue moon and maybe furniture here and there but not often. How did your leaf pack do over the years? Any sagging? Rides good? I want it to maintain 3inch lift....

    Thanks!
