    Question mostly for Brad from ICON but anyone else noticing this please chime in. I've hd the stage 4 on my '11 for 3 years and am noticing some changes--first more rubbing from the 285 MTRs up front--typically at some point in turning the wheel, not necessarily full lock. I also know my rear springs have flattened out and the add-a-leaf can't overcome that (probably just need new spring packs). Could the coilovers need a Nitrogen pressure check? Do they typically bleed off Nitrogen over time? Am I looking at the wrong things? Feedback is appreciated

    My truck has been settling on the drivers side for some time now. Not sure if it's the Icons or the body mounts wearing out. 2008 with 105k, Icons with 25k.

    Stuff and junk and things...
    Springs wear out, they don't last forever. Same with nitrogen, you should check the psi yearly. Have you had an alignment recently? Lower a arm bushings in OK condition? It's not always the shocks when your tires start rubbing.
