    I am looking to get my setup dialed this black friday. I am going with kings front and back but having a hard time on what leafs to get for the lift I want. Ideally I would like as close to a 2" front and 1" to 1.5" rear lift. What leafs are my best bet to achieve this? I will be running a CBI bedrack full time and an RTT only when heading out camping. When camping the usual camping gear, cooler, etc. The truck is my daily driver so I don't want a super stiff rear end but also don;t want the bro lean when loaded.

    I have a set of Icon RXT used for a month for sale. Practically new. NOT good for shipping, too much weight.

    Bummer. I am in San Diego. Why are you selling? Did you not like them for any specific reason?

    I have the Icon RXT pack, and I've been quite happy with mine. Still have it in the first configuration; which has worked great for ride quality. I have a couple of bed bars, and some tools/gear in the back; no tent or really heavy gear... but if/when that time comes, I can swap out the third leaf (it comes with the other leaf) for some extra load handling if needed.

    FYI - Leaf packs aren't that terrible to ship. You just need to shrink wrap them, and slap a label right on it. UPS will take it and ship it that way... or at least I've shipped leaf's that way before.

    I was looking at the RXT in standard form or the deaver J66. Both seem to be about 1.5" or 1.75" of lift unloaded. Just not sure how that would be with the tent/rack/gear loaded up. I will also be running CBI sliders and aluminum front skid if that makes much of a difference.

    I installed the bolt in wrong direction in the front and would not flex, had a metal hitting noise. Thought I got a bad set. Argued with Icon to replace them, ended up buying a new set and discovered the problem I did, 4/5 into the install, too late to turn back. Kept the second set since was almost installed. Now I am stuck with the first set almost new.

    I’m really liking the OME Dakar’s on my ride, they are around 2inch lift and settle between 1.5-1.75. Great ride as well.

    I also have sliders and full skids (steal) as well. If/when I add a tent, I'll probably go to the 2nd configuration at that time. Right now, the 1st is doing it's job well. No sag, rides level, and rides reasonably smooth.

    These guys know lots more than me, but I bought brand new A/M springs that are +2"s, about 400$ a set. I have the part number around here...

    I also put in airbags for under 100$, THAT was the best mod I ever did, they work excellent...
