Being a V8 as I am, I believe our stock spring rates are 550lb and the BOSS is a 600lb spring. This feels about accurate as it does not feel much stiffer than stock to me at all. I debated for a while between Icons and the Boss setup for quite a while and settled on the Boss because they are a local vendor if anything needs to be rebuilt and the digressive valving of the Icon shocks and their reviews made me think that they might have a rough ride for the little hits like expansion joints etc. and I wanted to keep it as comfy as possible.
From 6 months on them, they have been just as nice on road as factory of not better. Offroad has been fantastic as well. I like the larger perch compared to OME, but I don't know if I would jump it.
And its their ultimate that is the 5100 front setup. On that notched perch thing.
