ICON RXT Leaf Springs, Option 2 or Option 3?

Sounds like you’re similar to me. I would say either the 5100 or 5160 in the rear pretty cost effective and hold but better then anything the price point. Stiffer ride but I like the handling of it with the extra weight. I’m on 3 with 5160s.

 

Thank you. Much appreciated.

 

Yep. I love my setup. Responding fast rn because I’m fully loaded with 600lbs cross country right now. Wind is killing me. Solid 12 mpg rn.

 

Oh geeze..That's terrible. I still get 18 mpg with my weight.

 

How? I never get above 16 even unloaded. What part of the country are you in?

 

I am in California. Mostly flat where i live. Also I drive like a grandma. I'll get 21/22 on the highway if I keep at 65. Camping on blm with hills that goes out the window.

 

Well that explains it. I’m up at 5-8k feet so just in general you have better chances of better gas mileage. Doesn’t help I’m on a heavier tire setup.

 

has anyone had uneven ride height left to right?

I bought mine used in op3 already assembled
And during install copied pictures online of what eyelet goes where to copy their position how everyone else did

but, there appears to be some taco lean. I know the front height is a big contributor to this, so before anything, I plan to offset the front first and then re evaluate to see how it looks.

I’ve heard some folks swap their rear leafpacks left to right to help

wondering if anyone has done that with RXT, or if everyone’s pretty much went on level

 

My truck has almost no lean, only thing I have is a 1/4” spacer on the top hat of the driver’s side. Being used it could have been due to the previous owner having weird weight distributions.

 

I’ll offset the front
Then very install is correct
And see if it looks like they even can be swapped around, or if they only go on one way

 

Sounds dumb and you may have done this but check to make sure each pack has all 8 leafs in each one. I saw some weirdos on here compensation for the lean running one side in 2 and one in 3.

 

So during the 3.5yrs running stage 2, I've added a fiber glass topper and aluminum bumper with swingout. My front coilovers are also on minimal preload so I'm going to have these adjusted a bit, and want to prevent any negative rake by lifting the rear a tad more.

I've calculated my beds static load is now:
Bumper: 75
Shell: 200 (just ball parking)
Spare: 24+58= 72
Bed platform: 40
Awning: 40~

Also running mobtown steel sliders, and miscellaneous gear in the bed but nothing crazy.

Total: just shy of 400lbs

I'm thinking I should go ahead and swap to stage 3 to gain some lift back, and offset and potential sag the leafs have gained over the years. Is there anything I should be aware of when doing this?
