    I have a 3" block, add a leaf and OEM setup for my Pro Comp 6 inch lift and want to get advice/recommendations on which brand is recommended for upgrade. I will be getting the custom pack and plan to install with +3 CB shackles. All pro and cons are welcomed etc.

    Haven't hear much of any of those except Deavers.

    But once I get some bigger tires than my 33" on my 1" block, I'm going with Icon leaf pack for a 1.5" and no block. Supposed to be good stuff

    Checkout Skyjacker 4.5 inch leaf pack only about $580 and heard it rides real nice. I'm eventually gunna switch to that on my truck. Right now I have 4 inch block and CB +2 shackles. Kyle

    I've added the Icon helper packs, but evidently we're not able to vote for Icon. lol

    So with the three thus far, will your recommendations work for a 6" inch lift? I will ditch the block all together.

    With the Skyjackers no block great ride and cheaper than Custom springs. You could do a + 1 shackle if you wanted some more rake. Kyle

    I've been running +4.5" expedition leaf packs from Atlas for almost 3 years now (along with the +3" shackles). Absolutely no complaints from me and I actually use my truck offroad. :p
