[QUOTE="Johnny@Apollo-Optics, post: 2005238, member: 40808"] so Ive ran both on my gen 2, heres my thoughts. For starters anyone who knows me knows I absolutely beat my trucks. 2019 with Fox Race Series live valves. Ive ran both Icons on stage 2 and Deaver +3HD. Ive always had a consistent 300-500LBs in the bed 24/7/365. Chase rack, two full size spares, pro eagle, two gas cans, tools, etc. At 800 miles we slapped on the Icons on stage 2 knowing how much weight id have in the bed. They did beautifully and I wouldnt expect anything else. They were stiff, yes but the weight in the bed helped and the way I use the truck the stiffness was a benefit. I did two a few times and it did it like a charm. Going from an empty bed to 400lbs sagged the leafs about 3/4”. At 2years/17k miles I replaced my leafs. Why? Well like I said I abuse my truck. Probably 10-12 of those 17k miles were off road. Two texas raptor runs, countless local events, etc. im sure I average jumping my trucks a few thousand times a year. Thatd put wear on any suspension so id call 17k miles really impressive with absolutely no removal of weight in the bed. I swapped over to Deavers when I rebuilt my suspension. No reason, just had em at the shop. Id of happily done Icons again. The deavers were great. Also. Didnt wear em out before I sold the truck but they rode as well as the Icons. I maybe sat 1/4” lower with the same set up in the bed on deavers compared to Icons. Both ran very very similar. I never took my Icons off setting 2. Icon pros: Price Lower freight Coated individually before assembly Modular to change if you want to Deaver pros: Longer more known name in springs More height/duty options More options for aftermarket traction bars We carry both at Hammer Performance. Id be happy to quote you for either or both and see which fits best for you. [/QUOTE]
