Anyone have personal experience thye'd like to share on ride quality? I am personally looking to get rid of the wheel hop in the rear in the dirt but would like to keep the on road as smooth as possible. planning to swap the factory live shocks to the 3.0 live shocks when they're available and keeping 35's on it.

I replaced the stock springs with Deaver +3s. Everybody on this forum seems to feel that they significantly reduce wheel hop, but I have not noticed a huge difference. I like them and wanted the extra inch of clearance to coincide with the Geiser springs that I added up front to fit 37" tires, but as for ride quality, they are only marginally better in my opinion. Please note that this feedback is based predominately on street use. I have other toys that I use for off-roading.

I found my icons (setup for option 2) significantly reduced hop

I agree, Icons in setting 2 work very well at reducing hop. I do have a RPG bedrack, 2 37" spares and a jack in the bed. Without the weight of the second 37, it is not as smooth. Thats on road.

Now offroad, Night and day. Icons are amazing. The progressive springs work extremely well. This could be the best mod I have done to the truck. I do have fox 3.0's.

I also have the Deaver +3s and Geisers up front with 37" Toyo RTs. I think the truck rides much better than stock in front and back. I have not experienced the wheel hop issue one time since replacing my factory springs.

After starting at 40 lbs tire pressure, I lowered them 1-2 lbs every couple of days until I got down to 33-34 lbs before I found the sweet spot on the Toyos. If I go above 35 psi, the tires start to feel harsh again.

My Icons significantly improved the ride. Wheel hop and that illustrious rear end slide over on expansion joints is gone. Rear end is planted and handles night and day better in the dirt as well.

Had Deaver +3 installed last week and my ride definitely improved significantly - note that I also had the SVC torsion bars installed at same time- truck now has less body roll and less dive front/rear under braking and acceleration. Happy camper :)

I have read about some issues with the Icons on this forum. Seems there is a problem with them (noise maybe?) and Icon would not respond to the customer. Of course this is second hand info so I will see if I can dig up the original thread.

I have Icon Option 2 installed on my truck with Geiser Springs in the front. The wheel is significantly less on the road. When I have roughly 400 lbs in the bed while off-roading, it’s night and day. Great upgrade. Not to mention but if I wanted to go option 3, I can in the future.
