Icon rxt leaf pack

I installed the RXT leaf pack at option two on my double cab long bed and got 24 1/2” on the driver hub to fender and 24 3/4” on passenger hub to fender. I gained exactly 2” of rear lifter over the Deaver 66 that I took out.

 

I'm trying to understand why I'm so high in the back. Just moved my RXT springs on option 1 from my 2014 to my new 2021. In fact I moved the entire suspension. On my 2014, I had a 1 inch rake. Now on my 2021 I have a 2 inch rake. The rear measurement from center of the hub to fender is 24.25....again, that's option 1 on a DCSB. Seems like I got so much more lift on my 3rd gen. I don't understand why. Any settling that might occur has already happened as the springs have 20k on them and I've driven about 1000 miles including some offroad since installing them on the 21.

 

What do y’all do about the squeaks?

 

A 2” front lift on a 2nd Gen taco is a 1” lift on a third. The factory 3rd Gen coilover provided that inch of lift. Nothing changed in the back for you.

 

Just got my leaf pack installed option 1. I have 6112/5160 at 1.5" up front. Spring pack has no squeaks and feels as good as stock, if not better. No vibrations or anything like that. I made sure to keep the lift under 2" to avoid any problems. Very happy.

 

Here are some pictures post lift. 6112/5160 1.5" front, and Option 1 on the leaf pack. Idk if I should go option 2 next. I'm not sure if i like it a ton currently. Maybe its because I need new tires?

 

Mine only recently started squeaking. I didn’t notice it until I had my music volume lower lol.

 

Good looking truck. If you have no vibrations, I'd leave it alone. I'm slowly dialing mine in, but I'm starting to think I'm too picky.

 

I had some squeaks. When I reconfigured my packs from option 2 to option 1, I slathered a little bit of the same moly grease I use for the ICON DJs on on the metal shims that go between the leafs. I made sure to clean up the grease that squeezed out when I assembled them. No more squeaks as of now.

I should mention that those shims were starting to oxidize as well. That was another reason I coated with a thin layer of grease.

 

I embrace them lol

They seem to come and go, no telling what will make it a squeakier day though. Some days it's terrible, some days it's not so bad. Music helps

 

I'm on option #1 now and I have a lift of 24" center hub to fender on the driver and 24.625" on the passenger. When I was on option #2 I had a similar issue where the passenger side sat much higher. I think there is something wrong with my passenger pack. I'm going to try swapping from passenger to driver to see if that makes a difference.

 

Finally took apart my leaf packs. Other than kind of nightmare doing it, was able to get it done. Added leaf liners and some grease i between each leaf and as of my test drive, squeak is completely gone! Here’s to hoping it lasts!

 

Keep us posted!

 

I have the Icon RXT Leaf Packs set at Option 3 installed with BAMF HD greasable shackles. Originally in combination with Bilstein 5100's, but have since upgraded to Kings 2.5 with adjusters. Absolutely love this set-up. Feels like I'm driving a boat off-road.

 

So mine magically stopped squeaking a couple weeks ago lol

 

Just installed on option 1 for my dclb with 5160s. Driver side measures 23 1/4 and passenger side 24 3/4. This was after going for a 15 mile drive. Full gas of tank but 1.5in more on driver side seems excessive. I torqued all bolts to spec under the load of the truck so not sure what’s going on. Any ideas??

 

Check the front…tacos are known for the driver side lean. Caused by and fixed with front coilovers/spacers

 

Sounds about right with my experience. I think I'm about an inch lower on the driver's side. I've got a larger battery up front and a fridge in the bed, both adding to the driver's side lean. I even have my front driver's side coilover cranked higher and I've still got some lean.

 

Hey guys,

I am in the process of completely remodeling my suspension as the PO put a crappy puck lift on the truck.

I just received the Icon RXT leaf's and I want to run them on option #1. What do you all recommend I run for front coil overs and at what lift height? 2"? 2.5"? I would like a little rake but I don't want it to be insane.


Thanks!

 

Recommendations for good set of bushings for these leaf packs?
