[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 870884, member: 17747"] [b]Icon engineer response[/b] "The higher rate configurations of the spring are intended for vehicles that are set up with constant additional load such as chase racks, dual spares, ect. With an unloaded truck going to a higher rate will also make the truck taller by about ½” per 10%rate change. This may make the vehicle taller than you want and the additional height may exacerbate the wheel hope tendency. The spring however is designed to reduce axle rap in two ways: by removing the stock block the leverage on the spring pack is reduced. And the pack incorporates an additional forward leaf on the top of the pack to reduce axle wrap. The leaf pack in its low rate as shipped will give a big improvement in axle wrap over the stock pack. Additionally you can experiment with the rebound settings of the rear bypass shock when on the street to further control the wheel hop.
