Message: [QUOTE="Skanj0, post: 1479296, member: 16900"] Another data point to add to the mix: today I installed Icon 2.5" dual rate coils on my 2016 F350 SRW. The outgoing coils were Tuf Trucks Coils TTC-2813, 2.5" leveling coils rated at 7,500 lbs for the pair. I put these on due to my heavy truck camper. As I dont plow, they made the front end a little stiff when hitting small bumps, etc. I like them with the camper, but I only use the camper 3-4 times per year. Prior to tearing into the project I measured the front ride height. The front left was 43 1/4 to the center of the fender lip and the front right was 43 3/4 (indicating the left side was 1/2" lower than the front right). I should add that my truck has the oem front bumper and no front winch. I do have a front receiver hitch but nothing is currently mounted to it. I also have the Titan 50g fuel tank. Next step was installing the Icon coils. Happy to report no issues with the install. I then took it for a test drive. Just backing out of my driveway I could already feel that the front suspension was softer. Driving a few normal routes I could tell the ride was much better. It is much softer in the first inch or two of travel, and then it started firming-up as the second rate came into play. At no time did it feel like a 1972 Caddy - wallowing everywhere. Unfortunatelty I did get the metal 'clanking' heard by the OP on his 2017. I know its the springs since it didn't exist before the spring swap. I noticed it over larger bumps and potholes, but it did not occur most of the time. Overall, I an very pleased with the ride of the Icon cools and plan to just live with the periodic clanking. PS - During the install I also added 2 PMF 1/4" coil spacers above the left coil to help offset the Super Duty lean. It worked well as post install ride height was now 43 3/4 (left) and 44 (right). This is close enough for me. [/QUOTE]
