Icon rxt leaf pack

Currently on Option 1 with Fox 2.0s. Right at 300lbs constant load with the shell and tent, and sits just above factory height in the rear.

Rode pretty good overall with just the shell, but since adding the tent I’ve noticed that specifically on concrete highways I get a LOT of rear end bounce. Is this a shock issue or should I go up to option 2? I know it’s never gonna go away completely just because concrete roads are always gonna be more bouncy, but damn it’s annoying lol.

 

Rear end bounce is a shock issue. It’s the dampening and the only way to change that is to have the shim stack rebuilt. Option 2 will give you more height and a stiffer ride

 

Shocks. most problems with wobbling are shocks issues. how old are your shocks?

 

Fox 2.0s with 20k on them

That’s what I was afraid of. It rides great everywhere but the segmented concrete highways

 

fox 2.0s are valved very plush even without any extra weight. doesn't look like your leafs themselves are sagging enough for that to be the issue

 

Kinda wondering if Hammer Hangers or similar would solve my problem

 

ive heard they do alot to improve ride. i wana get some to try for myself.

 

I ordered some, I’ll report back

 

Based on what you have on the rear I would go with option 2. I've got option 2 and run about ~250 constant. When I load up the bed with gear I notice the additional sag.

 

I bought the oem shackle kit to install with the icon rxts and the bushings as-is in the icons. For the oem shackle, should I buy oem bushings or energy suspension poly... does it matter?

 

What's that front bumper?

 

Steelcraft Fortis HD. i really liked that one.

 

New RXTs just landed, really debating between option 2/3. I've got a Topo Topper + spare which is ~400lbs constant load. I do have plans to add a drawer system sometime soon.

With that said is how big of a pain is going from one option to the other?

 

Going from one option to another is basically just reinstalling it all over again. You would take it off the truck, put the additional leaf on the pack then reinstall.

 

Thanks, thats what I was afraid of ha, makes me think option 3 might be the way to go.

 

Honestly I'd be happy with any additional rake back but 1"-2" would be fine. It's a long bed so I've got to factor that in too.

 

Mines the same way. Have a camper with a drawer build out and also debating between option 2-3. I want it evenish or a tad rack

 

I have an access cab, V6, 4x4 and I did option 2. Got 2 inches of lift in the rear. I have a midrise shell, a custom wood drawer system installed all the time. Option 3 would put you similar or maybe a little more. But I like it for when I go on trips I can load it up and it rides great.

 

Your drawer build is rad, exactly what I want to do next.

That's perfect, I'm good with a little extra to keep the ride nice when I'm geared up
