I'm about to install the Icon leaf spring kit 95225 on my '19 raptor and was wondering what brands make DROP shackles that work with the military wrapped leafs from icon.

Installed Black +2 billet RPGs today on my Icon springs Option 3. I ran the stock shackles for about 1800 miles at option 3 expecting a bit sag that has not happened. My truck was to high in the rear even with Eibachs up front and now looks close to level front to rear.

Do you have before and after measurements for the rear?
I'm also installing the Icons with the +2 Extended Billet RPG Shackles and would like to keep it as close to stock height as possible.
Not sure if I will do Stage 1 or 2 on the leafs.

Thanks for all the info everyone!
I am rather fond of the rpg billet shackles just not the price tag haha.
I installed my leafs in option 2 with stock shackles for now. Definitely going to need them since cycling the suspension I'm already seeing the leafs rubbing the exhaust at full droop.
If anything I would only want to drop the rear 1" max since I do haul gear when offroading.

Option 3 no load, 1/2 fuel
RR 44 1/2". this one dropped 1/4 over 1800 miles to 44 1/4
LR 44"

Option 3 & RPG 2" over stk. shakes no load, 1/2 Fuel
RR 43 1/4
LR 43"

These measurements were taken 3 months, 1800 miles apart. The right rear spring actually dropped 1/4" in that time so the 2" over shackle drop is a 1" drop as advertised.

These measurements were taken from the ground to the fender flare on the center line of the wheels.
