Decked and new leaf springs

I have a decked drawer system on order and am working through some ideas.

I currently have Bilstein 5160 rear shocks and a 3 leaf AAL.

For those who have Decked, what did you do for rear leaf springs?

I am wondering if the OME AAL might work, or if I should go full leaf pack.

My load will be basic tools and recovery gear as of now, so maybe 50-70 lbs of additional weight on top of the Decked which is 205.

What ideas do y'all have for rear set up?

 

I’m happy with the Icon RXT pack so far. Decked, shell, rack, and tent on the stage 3. It’s an easy install and seems a great value.

 

Icon RXT Option 3! /close thread

(well, maybe option 2. It’s a tweener).

 

I can't find them with options... I'm assuming the options are weight ratings...

 

RXTs come with an extra leaf not installed. As they come is stage 1, replacing one of the leafs is stage 2, and adding the extra leaf into the pack is stage 3.

I have mine at stage 2 and they have been great.

 

I see now, thanks.

Option 3 seems like the best route.

I assume this pack would function okay with Bilstein 5160 rear shocks?

 

You would be between 2 and 3. I have a relatively empty bed with a diamondback cover and a little extra weight would be perfect for me. I’m using 5100s right now so 5160s will be fine.

 

Oh, have a u bolt flip kit and have been trying to find just the u bolts. I have the mounting plates and nuts.

Most suppliers that I can find sale an entire kit, not just the bolts...

Any ideas where I can find just the bolts?

Thank you!

 

Yep, this should help:

I have loaded Decked system, rack and RTT. I went with OME heavy at first but, they started squeaking so I swapped to Dobinsons Heavy L59-112-R and have been very happy with them.

 

Yep. My OMEs squeaked bad too. The icons are good except for after off-roading.

 

?

 

They get a little squeaky when they get dirt in them.

 

You don't say where you are but these could work for you...

Deaver stage 2 and Fox 2.0. It’s stiff if I don’t have the decked system and Leitner rack, but love it when loaded up.

 

I’ve noticed this, is there a fix?

 

I saw a thread about someone making custom brass shims between each leaf. I really don’t want to take them apart though.
Simple fix is turning up the volume.

 

RXT will handle the weight just fine. At stage 3 my rear center of hub to fender measurement is 24.25 with 350 pounds.
