Icon rxt leaf pack

So about that squeaking/creaking… mine do it and it’s BAD!
100% not the leafs though, it’s comes from the bushings. Looking for an option that doesn’t involve soaking them with silicone spray once a week, there has to something more permanent.
If I have to rip them out I might just go with something completely different and hope those don’t also make noise!

 

Mine do the same, I wash them and spray them all the time. I'm gonna try the bike tire or actual liner. The radio has been my solution that works best

 

Initially mine were making noise from two points, the brackets that wrap the sides of the leafs were rubbing and of course the bushings…
The spring brackets are an easy fix. Stupidly I did the bike tube thing before looking more closely at the brackets. The inner tube thing was a waste of time for me.

 

Good to know thanks!

 

After the last trip with the rxt's I've realized additions add quickly and I'm maxing them out. Fully loaded I'm at or above the 600lbs mark, with the Topo Topper taking about 1/2 of that. We have a couple planned additions, sliders, solar and some day a rear bumper so needless to say I'm gonna need to beef it up a little. I will say even maxing them out the the rxts still handle the weight like squeaky champs.
On daily drive mode I'm right around 24" hub to fender. Fully loaded I'm around 23.25, which is as advertised and gives me about 0.5" of rake

Has anyone customized these by adding additional leaves to the pack? I have scrap leaves from my oem + AAL and a few extras from a franken-pack I was planning on building before the rxts. (I know this is a band aid until I can jump to Deavers and I'll say it for you "buy once, cry once.") Just curious if anyone has done it.

 

Could I use my fox 2.5 rear shock that only reaches 1.5 lift on the rear or would this leaf springs he too big?I’m new to lifting and i can’t seem to figure out if i can use my 1.5 rear lift with the leafs front would be 2.5 and rear 1.5

 

Would they also work with the 1.5 lift rear ones?

 

Do u know any where that wouldn’t be a problem I’m new to this whole lifting thing and I don’t really understand this part of the lift

 

I meant if u know any other leaf pack that would let me lift it 1.5 inches with no issue also u mean by longer shock like one that lets me lift it up to like 3 inches? And by not to high maybe like an inch right?

 

I’ve seen that AAL but I’ve been told not to do it because it’s just not good all around that’s why I just didn’t go for it and started looking for a leaf that would fit but do u know where I could get a custom leaf made ? I just wanna see if I would do it

 

Okay thank u ima explore the custom leaf and see if I go for it thx a lot

 

I think another important aspect of this is what is you goal. Is it just looks or are you trying to build an offroad performance rig. If its just for looks then go with an AAL like what @memario1214 said, if you are trying to add all kinds of weight and build a performance oriented vehicle then go with a custom pack. However, if that's the goal you might want to change up the rear shocks to get you better rear set up all around. I went from 5100s and an AAL to MT64s and the icon leaf pack which isn't top end but it was enough to really notice the difference. Especially with weight added.

 

I want my build to be able to handle almost anything I don’t plant on carrying anything on the rear other than maybe a spare tire and maybe a recovery hook fit 33s or 35s lift I wanna do atm is 2.5 front 1.5 rear I wanna be able to off road but also daily it and plan on off road it maybe a couple times a month

 

Yea I decided to not get it
