Overload Leaf or No?

Going to be installing an icon 1.5 aal on my dclb tomorrow. I have a Leer cap and a platform in the back that I guess to weigh around 100lb. That puts the weight in the bed to 300ish lbs. Should I put the overload back in or should I leave it out? Not looking to get over 1.5in of lift


Thank you!

 

Imo leave it in. With cap it will come down in time. Good luck OP

 

You should never remove the overload leaf. it’s a stupid to remove it, reserved for people who don’t use their bed, or went overboard on springs. (Kinda one in the same).

 

You'll have to mod it; you don't wan't the spring clip/rivet to contact the overload.

I thought they redesigned it, so you don't have to mod ( remove clip/rivit) or is that wheelers, that did the redesign. Read it here.

 

I'd leave it in with a cap.

 

It seems everyone says to leave it, but I took mine out and am really happy with it. I'm roughly an inch over stock, which is where I want to be. As mentioned above, I don't use my bed to carry bags of cement or buckets of gravel, but I use it like 99% of the truck owners out there. The occasional loads (usually longer camp trips to middle of Baja) have done fine, I would not sacrifice unnecessary lift or ride quality for the 1% of time I "use my bed". But like half the answers are on here-- you have to do what is best for your use and not listen to all the experts on TW.
