Icon rxt leaf pack

No constant load requirements for me. With 550# did the truck sag a lot?

 

Not too bad
Maybe an inch or two but I put most of the weight close to the cab to spread the load between the front and rear

 

Finished getting these installed tonight. My situation is a little different. I was originally running the Icon 3 leaf AAL and with the addition of the canopy and the single sided swing out and slide both on the drivers side I was sitting around 22" on the passenger side and 21ish" on the drivers in the back depending on fuel.





The almost one inch difference was very noticeable (I don't have any great pictures of it though, but believe me, it stood out)

So I went with stage 2 on the passenger side, and stage 3 on the driver. Currently sitting almost dead level at about 23 1/2" on both sides, hopefully it doesn't settle more than 1/2" which will still leave me with an inch of rake.

 

Please let us know how it works out with the option 2/ pass. side and opt. 3 driver. Never thought of that approach, especially with the differing load range between the two stages. I have same issue with rear driver side being fair bit lower than passenger side by 1/2'' at minimum. Despite having a 1/4'' top plate in the front coilover.
Also curious if anyone has noticed their axle being kicked a little off center. Mine seems to be kicked just a little off center to the passenger side. Maybe 1/4'' ish.

 

I think I had that issue on install. Had problems lining up the pins into the holes on the axle. Eventually got them in and realized I had the shackles flipped...so had to take the packs off and do it again. This time we took more care to get the axle into a good spot and it was much easier to get everything in place. The axle didn't look misaligned. I should note that this was only observed during install and only a visual observation. Tires were off, and we didn't measure to confirm.

 

Sucks ya had to pull them back out and flip the shackles. Quite positive my shackles are proper and it's not really uncommon to have to shift the axle some to align the leaf pins to the axle. However for me w/ tires on and truck on the ground it's obvious that it's kicked out to one side a little/ offset if you will.

 

Yeah, silly mistake on my part. I even purposefully spent a minute orienting the shackles on the pack before wiggling them in there. I normally do well with spatial orientation but not that night haha.

Now that you mention it, I feel like I looked back shortly after installation was complete and thought the tires looked a little offset. Not sure how accurate that was but I don't see that same issue now, at least to a degree significant enough to notice at a glance.

The only way the axle could be misaligned is if the packs were not the same length from front hanger to pin, flipped the wrong way, or a shackle on one side is flexed more than the other side. Does that check? Maybe I'm missing something else. Just my initial hypotheses.

 

Bit of a head scratcher for sure. All components installed correctly, truck on ground under its own weight prior to torquing all bolts etc.. etc.... Not overly concerned about it but just wondering if anyone else has noticed the same thing.

 

I'm curious to know if the issue disappears or you otherwise resolve it.

 

Been this way since install, over a year so not working itself out. Don’t really know how I would rectify it, so will remain for now

 

Off topic, but what size tires are you running?

First of all does anyone have a website that has the best deal on these RXT leaf packs in stock ready to ship??? Does anyone have any more pictures on option three for a 16 and up Tacoma. I have the OME dog packs bow but after a year and a half, there sagging pretty good with 600lbs when doing delivers. I sometimes carry up to 800 pounds in the bed for 10 to 20 miles. Three times a week. I think I want to get these in option three and then get some sumo springs and there should be like the perfect set up

 

Stage 3 on the drivers side, stage 2 on passenger.

There’s probably another 2-3 hundred lbs in the bed.

Grom is about 250 lbs

 

So I have a set of the RTX with add in leaf on order, expected in 3 months. Installing option 3. I'm trying to determine how much of a lift in the rear these will add to my truck while its empty? Empty now compared to empty once installed.
I have icon stage 4 with an add a leaf. Been running with that for about 1 1/2 years.

Thanks. That just shows the lift over stock. Since I'm already running a stage 4 with an add a leaf I'm sure it's not going to be the same.

 

If you are putting in a new RXT pack they should be the same as what is posted in the image.

 

I might have to go with Deaver expedition leafs.... Love the RXT's but I'm over 1000 pounds now.

 

Are you planning to stack the leaf packs then?
