Nice review and showing how one would use this in real life with the different scenarios. I’m getting mine install tomorrow and after watching your video, will go with setting 3. I have about 400lbs on my truck consistently. Going from an Icon AAL 1.5”.
how does this drive as daylie driver wo the weight in option 2 ?
I am torn between these Icon rxt or a Deaver leaf pack. I only have a 2.5" lift on Bilstein 6112 with 5160s on the rear. Runnning 285/70/r17s Falken. I know these arent custom leaf packs, but I want to go with an out of the box product. Deaver quoted me 6-8 weeks which i just dont wanna wait. Would you recommend these Icons? I dont carry any weight and my only trips or light camping or weekends with the wife and toddlers.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Been researching for over a week and will definitely go with the RXT thanks to you! Gotta trust my fellow Coloradan! Best to you!
is this right off of HWY80? looks like it just before nevada
Great video! I'm about to install these on my truck but can't decide on option 2 or 3.. I have around 480 pounds unloaded with my rooftop tent, topper awning and drawers in the bed. I'm thinking about opt 3 but worried about the ride in the winter when I remove the tent.
Hey, John! I appreciate the video. I’m two weeks out from getting an Icon Stage 8 with RXT springs. I’ve been racking my brain on setting 2 or 3. I have a Decked System and RSI SmartCap (around 420lbs) of constant load. Weekends I’ll add an additional 100-150 lbs of camping gear. I’m not looking for a super lifted look but more moderate. I also don’t wanna run 285/70/R17’s to fill the lifted space if the option 3 is too big. Biggest tire I’ll entertain is a 275/70/R17 or do like you 265/70/R17. For your overlanding mode you had a roof rack, tent, awning, cap, recovery gear, clothes, ice chest, etc. Would you estimate that weight around 500-550lbs or more maybe? I like the look of your overlanding rear height with option 2 but just wanted to see that weight in comparison to what I’ll have. Thanks again and keep up the good work! Love the videos.
What tire size are you running?
Sorry for all questions last one but if I have 200 lbs in the back and that drops the lift down to 1.75 and my truck is raised 2.15 in the front would that make for not having a rake in the vehicle?
So I purchased the leaf set and in front I am raising my truck to 2.15 wondering how the geometry will be doing option 2 w the rxt . I just hope I get a smooth ride
Great review! Thank you.
Exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Sold.
Just a quick question if you could answer. I’m looking at getting these w/ adjustable shocks as well. I use my truck as daily driver, but also for work as a pool guy. I drive around 500-700 lbs worth of work stuff in my truck daily (tues-fri). Would you recommend going full leaf? I then go off-roading, forest trails, logging roads, etc when hunting in Utah and Wyoming? The drives out I got about the same 500lbs in truck then I empty everything out at camp, again w/ adjustable shocks. Just a thought do you think fill leafs? Also did you do your own install? Or have your lift installed professionally? I’m 47 and could prob do it myself but figure might be worth just having it done professionally.
Thanks for the video. I have a ? My just got Delivered yesterday but it came with no bolt. Can I use the factory bolt to install? I am looking to do option 2 but I am not sure how to set it up for that option. Do you or anybody knows how? Thank you
Hi thanks for your video. How are the the leaf springs now? Im debating running it like you on stage 2 since I only load up the truck when overlanding.
Can you run these with the stock bilsteins that come on trd off road? Have a Leer 100xr and going to get a RTT soon.
Do you have any experience with the stage 3 setup up on the rxt im literally trying to run the same setup as you except i ordered fox vs kings but I ordered almost sane caper shell roof rack, and have a tepui tent want an idea if these would work great with the rxt or go with the deavers stage 3 u402
I was wandering have you had any drive shaft vibration. have you changed axle angle what degree shims you used thanks.
Aloha brother did you change the shackles too for the hanger?
