Toytec Superflex vs Icon 2" vs Metal tech LT Medium

[phatcheeks]

Hey all. Looking to switch out my OME 895 rear springs. I feel that they are too rough for my empty rear end.
I've been looking at the superflex and Icon 2" and feel like those are the way to go for me.
I also came across the dual rate Icon overland springs and Metal Tech LT Medium springs. I cant seem to find much recent info on this setup with non LT shocks. I currently have the Eibach Pro truck shocks in the rear.

I heard the Metal techs are side specific to correct lean, but i cant find anything about that on their website.

Does anyone have experience with these? Specifically the Icons and Metal Tech

Thanks

I have the superflex springs and love them. They provide a firm, comfortable ride on and off road both when loaded with camp gear, when towing, and when unloaded - I think they're a great balance.

I did have to use a Daystar 2.5 spacer as well as an OME 10mm trim packer to correct driver lean, but it sits almost perfectly level side to side now.

Im currently using daystar 1.5 in the rear left, but it made the ride more harsh over large bumps.

yeah sorry, meant 1.5 not 2.5. I haven't noticed any harshness as a result of the spacer. Love the ride of the superflexes!

I have the Dobbins 2" springs for 100 lbs extra weight and they're too stiff even with 100 lbs in back. You don't feel it in the front seat but the folks in back do.
I'm looking to swap them for some superflex springs asap.

I am actually leaning towards the Icon 2". From what I found, they ride better than the superflex. The spring rate is a tad lower (about 200#) and it has more coils as well.
Im also able to get them cheaper than the superflex

If you were closer to me I'd swap you. I've enjoyed the icons but need stiffer.

Superflex ride nicely empty, ran them for about two years. They were too soft for me when loaded down with camping equipment so I upgraded to the Icon Overland spring. I love them as the can handle the extra weight but are not too harsh when empty. They do give 3" of lift though when empty (don't have a rear bumper). Fully loaded they sit at 2". But if you never carry a lot of weight the Superflex are probably better. Don't know the Icon 2".

I'll have to look into those. I have air bags so not really concerned about loaded height. Just pump up the bags
