Icon Multi-Rate Rear Leaf Spring Kit

If switching from different options on the leafs be careful with the center pin bolts. The coarse thread bolts fold/flatten threads very easy and then are useless if that happens. I'm just going to my local spring and axle shop for new ones. Lesson learned

That's why I used big c-clamps. Clamped down, removed bolts, slowly released c-clamps to get leafs changed, then used a long punch to keep the holes aligned while I tightened them back up. That way the bolts were never in any danger of the threats being damaged at all.

Yeah I also use c clamps and the bolts still folded. Not a huge deal since I picked some up at my local HD spring shop. Just need to cut to length. But a bit of an annoyance for sure.

Hey guys, just had my Icon Leaf Springs Installed Option 1 and the rear is about 42.5, with a BakFlip, bedmat and swing tool box. I'm at a little over 3/4 full of fuel. The rear seems a little high and I know they'll settle, but how much ride will I lose once they do?

They don't settle, Icon will tell you the same thing. Congratulations you got ****** up Icon's that were higher than advertised. Same thing happened to me. Had to dispute with my credit card to get a refund from a ****** vendor and Icon will just tell you it's not their problem.

I actually got just an 1nch on the rear as advertised. I was just wondering since I wanted to add some preload to my coil overs. I'm at 42.5 on the rear., option 1

Ah, lucky you. Well allegedly they don't settle.

Figured I'd throw my truck in this thread for anyone that was curious about another combination.

1) option 1 (as shipped)
2) ICON Attitude Adjustment collar set to 1.75"

Truck sits at 40.25 front and 43.5 rear. The ride is better than stock. Rear end is much "tighter" and it handles phenomenal.

Very happy with results and ready for next phase.

Thank you guys for all the post. Will definitely be going with icons at option 3 over the dealers. I start my day with 1,000 pounds in the bed and it goes down from there (Detailer with a water tank). 35k miles later my stock springs are not happy who would have guessed lmao

Does anyone know if ICON recently update their Raptor leaf springs or if there are counterfeit ones out there?

I ordered a set of ICON springs through one of the FRF supporters (Neo-Garage) for my 2020 SCREW back in August 2020 and, of course, they were back-ordered and were shipped individually as they became available. The first leaf pack was delivered in November 2020 and didn't have the add-a-leaf with it. The second set was just delivered on 1 March 2021 and this set is noticeably different than the first (older) set that was delivered in Nov. The newer set appears to be better quality overall. They both have the same model number although, the newer set has it stenciled while the older set is a sticker that is falling off. Here are some of the differences between the two packs (pics below):

- The new pack has 7 leafs (without AAL) while the old one has 8 (I didn't receive the AAL with this pack). The old one has an additional shorter leaf on the bottom.

- The new pack has plastic friction pads on one of the spring clamps, the older pack doesn't.

- The new pack is about 2 inches shorter, eye to eye, than the older one.

- The front eye on the new pack isn't wrapped as tight as the old one.

- The new pack came with the AAL, the old one I received didn't.

I spoke with someone in ICON tech and they didn't know if they were updated or if manufacturing process was changed and asked that I send some photos of the two packs. I'm still waiting on their response after sending the photos. I'm also awaiting a response from Neo-Garage to find out if they'll send me another set to match the newer ones I received because there's no way I'm installing two different springs on my truck.
