    I'm looking to really upgrade my suspension, going with Icon or Fox all the way around as well as replacing my springs.... I'm looking at the 8 leaf pack from Wheelers or a set of Deavers. Any other i should consider?

    OME/Dakar and AllPro if you need the payload.
    Alcan if you want to keep it flexy; although iirc, Alcan makes the Wheeler 8-pack.

    Thanks brother, sounds like the Wheelers are what I'm looking for. The only thing is the 2in lift.... I would prefer an inch (if that)

    I used the Wheelers 8 leaf pack on mine, gave me 2 1/2" over stock, it may settle, but it is definitely more than 1". the ride is great, I used fox 2.0 shocks. If you use these leafs you will need to lift the front to level it out. I went up 2" in the front, so I still have a slight rake but I don't mind. Use some 3 degree shims if you decide to mount them. I have no drivetrain issues.

    Did you ever get replacements? I was looking at the Deaver 10 pack complete replacement and only want an inch or inch and a half, but want to maintain and/or improve ride quality.
