Icon RXT Leaf Pack Install (stage 3)

You're welcome!

 

I've got my rxts on my workbench. About to swap in the add a leaf. Putting them in my 09 trdor dcsb. If anyone wants pics or tips message me.

 

Fantastic thread OP! Anxious to receive my RXT pack but they're still on backorder... since September. Subbing for future ref.

 

Also waiting for mine

 

Running stage 3 RXT and it’s been awesome! (Free shipping from Wheelers). Only complaint is minor squeak so I will address that later on. I looked at Deavers but those weren’t available until February, and also another $1k

 

Hey guys! hope all is well. currently i’m in option 2 but i’m looking to go to option 3, i’m just kinda confused on where that leaf goes? if anyone can show a pic or let me know that’d be great! i know i know it explains it in the directions but i’m still kinda confused

 

So since i’m on option 2, i removed that one leaf and added the extra leaf that the pack came with. i’m basically askinh where that extra leaf that i pulled out of the pack goes in order for it to be on option 3. maybe that makes more sense? haha

 

I’ve got a set on order and still waiting but I’ve been sagging with my smart cap(185 lbs) on. If I’m fully loaded with camping gear and i will be in the 500 lbs range. Should I go with stage 2 or 3? I’m camping about once a month and this is my daily as well. What’s your guys thoughts?

 

The extra leaf goes in between the 2nd & 3rd spring. Check out Icon dynamics website for the pdf installation file.

 

Just wondering what your center of hub to fender is with the stage 1?

 

Since RXTs ship option 1 and you're option 2, I'll assume that you removed the #3 leaf and replaced it with the extra leaf. To go option 3, you would add the leaf you removed (OG #3) and make it the #4 leaf. Remember, long end goes towards the front...

Pic for reference...Red: OG #2, Green: Extra leaf, Purple: OG #3

 

I'm confused.

 

Hopefully our meetup this morning helped

 

I'm good to go. Thanks again!

 

These are my last set of numbers with 3/4 tank and new front body mounts:
LF: 22 1/8in RF: 21 7/8in
LR: 23 5/8in RR: 23 1/4in

I've been meaning to check again.

 

Thank you!! very helpful. exactly what i was looking for !

 

Awesome, thanks for the measurement. any extra weight in the bed?

 

You're welcome!

About 200lb between a storage case with gear, bed mat, and Softopper.

 

Before

After

I realize I'm in a 3rd gen thread but I thought I'd give you my opinion on these springs. I bought my RXT springs from @TailHook a couple weeks ago. He had them on option 3, and I moved to option 2. Here are the pros and cons I noticed immediately on 10 mile local shake down run.

Pros
1. Axle wrap on acceleration is gone.
2. The railroad crossing that I bottomed out on and felt very unsettling is now just a a small bump in the road.
3. The ride on bumps in the road are firmer, but in a good way. The stock springs were so soft I'd go through the travel right into the bump stops on virtually every bump more than 2 inches.
4. I went from 23" to 24.5" hub to fender, and now have 1.5" in rake.

Cons
1. There is a slight vibration at 55 to 75 mph that I noticed, but I would bet that anybody riding with me wouldn't notice over the roar and vibes of my M/T tires.
2. I now want longer shocks, extended brake lines, and a ubolt flip kit.
3. I feel my 5100s in the front need to be replaced to get the front to be equal in performance to the rear.

 

Did you ever get a set in and decide one a particular stage? I've got a smartcap as well, and with bike rack, drawers, etc etc, I estimate I'll be around 500 lbs daily.
