    Hi all, I am installing my lift this weekend and can't decide on which option to set my Icon RXT Leaf Pack to. 2015 TRD Sport, Double Cab, Long Bed. My main components are:

    Front Bilstein 6112s currently set at 4th Clip (~2.15" lift) 600lb springs.
    Rear Bilstein 5125s
    SPC Adjustable Control Arms

    I am stuck between doing Option One on the leaf pack, which should net 1.875" of lift in the rear, or Option Two, would should net 2.25" of lift in the rear.

    Option One would obviously level me out a bit more, while Option Two would keep just about the same, or slightly more rake than factory. I do like the look of a bit of rake on the truck.

    I don't have any constant weight in my bed day to day, but I do camp quite a bit and tow a pop up camper often. (~100lb Tongue weight)There is a good amount of weight in the bed when I camp. I have heard some people say the Icon leaf packs on Option One flatten out pretty quick.

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    I went option 1 and have the exact same setup you have in front. 5160’s in the rear. Tow a boat with a 450ish pound tongue weight. It does not sag with the boat nearly as much it did with the stock springs. Sounds like it’s more of an aesthetic decision for you. I love the way mine looks with a bit less rake than stock. Handles great with or without a load.

    How is the ride of the 6112s on the 4th clip? The guy who assembled my shocks was worried I was preloading the coils a bit too much up that high.

    Firm but soaks up bumps. You have nothing to be worried about. I had the same concerns and numerous folks with the same setup said it was fantastic; they were right.
