    Will be installing the RXT leafs this week along with 5100s. I have a 3rd gen dclb with snugtop, thule racks and plywood platform as constant weight (guessing ~300lbs). Hoping to achieve about a 1.5” lift using option 2, although reading through some other posts maybe this graphic is not all that accurate? Hoping for some insight (and pics). Thanks

    Option 2 will give you close to 1.5” with 300 pounds. Option 1 will be too light and option 3 will give you closer to 2.5” with that much weight.

    Lots of good photos and measurements in the post linked above. Well worth the time to look through it!

    I have an off road jack, molle panel, fuel and water jug, compressor, 4.5 gallon aluminum water tank, 12v cooler, a metal tailgate panel, and recovery tools in my truck bed at all times. This picture also has an additional 40 lbs of fishing and camping stuff the bed. This is how mine sits on RXT leaf packs at option 1.

    Stage 3 icon pack. First pic is prob abt 500 lbs on the bed, second is how I daily it, which is just the topper and my drawers/platform. I started at stage 2 and had sag almost immediately, so I upgraded to 3 and inserted the leaf, been happy since!

    I'll be installing my RXT leaf packs this weekend or the next, along with 5125s. I'm planning on going with option 2 on my access cab. I routinely load my bed up with about 200-300 lbs and tow my boat. Will I have any issues like too much rear lift/rake with no load in the bed?

    I have 5100s on OEM springs on the 4th setting up front. I know access cabs get a little more lift.

    Do you have any lift on the front or is it at stock height?

    I have a little squeaking but it only seems to happen after the leafs get wet. I live in AZ so it’s hot here. Squeaks are slim to none but it still does the same job so I’m satisfied lol

    Mine have squeaked off and on, mostly quiet. Still loving these springs after 40,000 miles.

    Planning...suspension, front slimline bumper, winch, full skids, 2" lift, SCS Ray 10's, Pizza cutters, Power Tray, Switch-Pro, Alu-Cab Contour Canopy.
    I have an Alu-Cab top that is only 125lbs and if I tow or am loaded down for camping the back sags. I regret Stage 2 and should have gone to stage 3 as so many others told me. I will be converting to Stage 3 some time after this coming hunting season.

    Note: Only regret that I did not do Stage 3 from the start as others have said. Otherwise love them.
