Deaver springs, Icon RXT…??

Looking for advice. I don’t plan on hauling a trailer. Looking to use for off- road/ camping with roughly 509-800lbs in rear. I am 1” approximately lower in the rear.

I also added a BodyArmour bumper, approx 80lbs.

What you all recommend I do to raise up rear 1-1.5in…provide xtra support??

Has Toyota lift package… with I believe a 1” block. I want to maintain ride quality…

***I am no expert and getting different advice from some shops***

Should I consider any of these?

1).Firestone airbag.
2). A 2” block
3). Different rear leaf setup…AAL…Icon dynamics
4). Any other recommendations??

Thanks

 

The icon rxt leaf pack is what i have, I not quite as heavy as you and run on option 2, but option three should suit your needs. Don't recommend an aal system with that much weight. The pack should give you the lift you want but you will need to ditch the block or you will be too high, not really a lose as blocks really arn't heavy duty and can make springs W under high load.

 

Correct new leaf pack is the best way to go. Buy once, cry once.

 

I vote the ICON RXT leaf pack. Rides great and will give you the spring rate you need. We offer ICON, message me if you would like a quote.

 

Can’t go wrong with Deaver, best in the business. I just installed the stage 2 in preparation for hauling a trailer with the added bonus of the Off Road capability and it rides pretty smooth and reliable no doubt.

 

At that weight i would definitely get a full replacement leaf pack. Will ride better than stock too
I have the Icon RXT and like them, setting up your own ride hight is nice. Ive heard good things about the Deaver U402 as well

 

Icon is a great leaf option coming in at around $600. Deaver is probably the best option with weight over 600#'s, but you'll pay for the best at about $1200. If you've got the money, go deaver. If you're on a budget and need something now, go Icon.

 

Deaver leaf pack on my 1st gen is still behaving like new. Would totally buy them again.

 

Have you taken your truck offroad to see if that setup works in stock form? Your weight is close to the max payload.

 

Not yet. Will do that to gauge it.

 

Looking to go Icon option 2.

 

With your weight, you don't think option 3 would be best?

 

What's the sticker on your door handle?

 

I've got (2nd gen) the Icon RXT at option 2 and with the weight of a canopy, spare, and around 100lbs of gear in the bed it raised the back end 2.25". After 7 months it looks like it might have settled to 1 7/8- 2". My hub to fender is about 24" in the rear. Pretty close to what Icon shows for option 2. With your weight I'd go with option 3. In my opinion these trucks look better with some rake.
