What spring for the Rear?
I currently have OME 880 in the rear, and upgraded from billistein to Icon 2.5 piggy backs shocks.

The problem is when my rear hits full droop, my springs want to come out because they are too short and Im afraid they actually will fall out soon with enough time offroad.

Im trying to avoid spacers.

Should I use OME 890's or 891's?

What do others out there use for springs with 2.5 Icons in the rear?

880s in the rear? that might be your issue.

What ICONs did you end up getting though?

How much weight do you regularly carry?
How much lift do you want?
What is the length of the Icons when fully extended?

Generally I dont carry much other than about 20 pounds of equipment in my trunk, I do have a savage bumper with the spare tire carrier, but I take off the tire every time I go offroading.

I dont want any more lift than I currently have lol, because I dont want my car leaning forward with the rear sticking up. But Im trying to find what springs work well with the rear icons. I am leaning towards the 890's because I dont want a uncomfortable rear, but I know they 891's are 1/4" inch longer

And I didnt even think of taking measurements of anything.
