Icon VS sway away coils.

[perf0rmance]

I had SAW 1.5" rear coils. As many mentioned above, they were about 2" when installed but mine settled to 1.5" after a while. Rode great. However if you plan on putting any kind of gear back there, it will sag. A LOT! I have since installed Icons with the 2" rear springs. Love it. Holds load good too.

How long before they settled down from 3" to 2"???

I've had both.
SAW's rode nicer while unloaded, but squatted too much loaded.
I run the Icons now with the ET coil overs upfront dialed to give 1 inch forward rake. Love it! Actually just got back from a 2 day trip to the Sierras and this set up continues to impress.

Did you also start at 3"? What did they settle at? (rear lift)

Thanks! I’ve pretty much decided on icons. Does it sit pretty even?

No.
Rear was never at 3 inches of lift.

With SAW 1.5 coils they never settled much, unloaded a hair over 2 inches of lift.

Icon rear coils 2 inch is a true 2 inch unloaded and has not settled over 2 years now.

Without adjusting the front coilovers, No. You'll have about an 1.5" of rake. I raised the fronts about an inch and it looks leveled but if I measure, I have about half an inch of rake.

About a 2 weeks.

Certainly less than 2k miles, right?
