Icon RXT leaf pack and 5160 Bilsteins

Hey all,
I have a 13 TX/Pro on the back it comes with 5160 TRD Bilsteins. I'm hoping I can mount up these new Icon RXT leaf pack on the lowest leaf setting (1.85 over stock height). I can tried calling Icon and a local shop but didn't get a clear answer.

Links below to both products.

Thanks for any and all help!

 

Did you ever get any information on this? I'm looking at this leaf pack as well but don't want to run the ICON shocks... I can't find any information on the amount of travel the ICON shocks provide so I'm not sure which length shocks to run.

 

Any info on this. Trying to find out the same thing

 

I'd recommend running a u-bolt flip kit and 1" bump stop spacer with those.
Stock collapsed length is ~ 13.760"
With the bump stop spacer run a shock with a collapsed length of 14.760" or less

This matches up with a Fox-985-24-117
You'll gain ~1" of up travel, and ~1.5" of droop

 

Curious to know if anyone is actually running this setup. I just got this leafpack and I would like to not have to replace my rear shocks.

 

The RXT Leaf System is compatible with the OEM shocks. You simply will not be tapping into the additional down travel provided by the RXT leafs.

The RXT rear leafs retain the same metal to metal compressed length as stock so no up travel is compromised and when combined with Icon RXT rear shock you gain access to the added down travel provided by the leafs.

 

What level RXT Leaf would you recommend on my 18 Pro , I have a fiberglass topper and usually 150-250LBs of gear and dog in the back? possibly adding a small teardrop trailer down the road.

 

The ride height would be the determining factor. Where do you have the vehicle set currently? (Inches over stock?)
I recommend and personally prefer a lower ride high to keep the C.G. low and the track width wide so I would run option 1. However if you are +2.5" over stock up front and would like maintain the lift height option 2 is likely a better fit for your application.

 

I'm running stock height ( Pro), mostly looking for better ride and a little less sag, Thanks . Just need to Check some of the western Canada dealers for availability.

 

Can Kings front and rear extended travel be used with these without issue? Putting in all new Kings front and rear, Delta Joint UCA's, new OEM LCA's with Whiteline Bushings, front ICON LCA Skids. Plus a Relentless Fab Stingray Lower Winch Mount Bumper. Going to be a busy Spring.

 

I don't believe you will run into any installation issues. The only concern would be the compressed length of the rear shocks.

Compare all your shock lengths here and decide.

 

Ah okay I'll go a different route thank you.

 

Did you end up going this route and if so, how are you liking them? Looking at going with the RXT pack over Dakars myself. Thanks

 

Not yet, still figuring out. Im also in Northern Canada so sourcing parts is a little trickier with shipping/$ exchange etc.

 

Lol, the old figuring game. It seems to never end... Good luck and thanks for the reply.

 

Bump. Any feedback on RXT with 5160 and particularly stock TX Baja 5160s?

 

I have brand new 5160s rear and 6112s in the front of my 2015. Ordering the Icon rxt leaf pack. I will report once they are installed and I've had a few days to break them in. Was going to go with Deaver but they have a 6-8 week waiting lead time period and I dont feel like waiting that long.

 

Curious on the feedback with this. I'm in this boat as well, 6112/5160 and looking at the Icon RXT pack. @Icon_Adrian, can you comment on what the spring rates are at the various stages? Who do you source your leaf pack from, is it American steel? I have a Dakar pack now and it's too stiff with my normally empty bed, looking for a full leaf pack that gives a nice ride on the street and can occasionally carry some camping gear

 

Is @Icon_Adrian still active around here? I called Icon and I was told to go with Option 1 since I dont carry any weight in the back or have a camper. Option 2 and 3 will give me too much rake. A little confused because a prior response on this thread said to go with Option 2 if you have a 2.5" lift in the front which I current do on Bilstein 6112s.
