Bilstein 5100/Eibach w/ Icon RXT

What up?

Currently I have a 2013 with 3” spacers and an AAL in the rear. “3/1”. Leer cap, tools and ladders in the back. @200lbs. I was very happy with the stance when first installed. Also have some airbags in the rear for my cabover camper when it’s go time.

Just ordered a set of Bilstein 5100 w Eibach springs built to have 3” up front. Haven’t gotten them yet. Also picked up a set of Icon RXT leaf packs today.

Spoke to icon and they have their little chart. I get it. It’s adjustable to your needs. A very smart package.

My goal is to have my truck sit level. 3/1 is the number to me.
On the fence about leaving the packs the way they are or swapping out the extra one for option 2.

Thanks in advance.

 

How the hell did you get a hold of rxt’s?? I’ve been waiting for months

 

I installed RXT’s in option 1 about a month ago. I have a GFC (270 lbs) but my 2nd gen is otherwise stock. Hub to rear fender is 23” which is about 1.5” higher than my slightly sagging oem springs. If I add another ~100 lbs to the bed the rear sits at 22.5”.

 

I'm in the process of doing a similar suspension upgrade. I ordered 5100s all around (should get delivered next week) and a set up RXTs (around a week or so to get them delivered from Wheelers). I'm planning on going to the highest setting on the 5100s and going with stage 2 on the RXTs. I have around 250 lbs of constant weight in the back and want to keep a little bit of rake. It won't be quite as much rake as the factory. If my math is right and the estimates from bilstein and icon are close I'll still have around 5/8" of rake.

 

Just had icon stage 8 installed... factory 2" coiliover height up front and option 2 on the rxt leafs in back. With the weight of a SnugTop canopy and 100lbs of sandbags the truck has close to a 2" rake. I think a 3" front and option 2 is your best bet... should be close after break in. My numbers right after install were 22" hub to fender front/ 24" in back. The back has dropped down another 1/4" after adding another 100lbs of sandbags (200lbs total.)

 

Thanks. Much appreciated. Looks like I’ll go option 1. I’m at @ 22 1/4 in the rear now.

I picked them up at off-road warehouse yesterday.
