Icon RXT review

Do those level the rear out with the increased height from the icon springs?

I did the add-a-leaf setting and even with 1.5" drop shackles, I would say no with an empty bed. Haven't put any weight back there yet.

Damn. I run around with about 250# in the bed daily. I'm still on stock perch up front.

Nice @RDFTS ! I have the extra leaf too and it sits a bit high in the rear. I cranked the coilovers up and inch or so but still not perfectly level. Drop shackle seems like a good idea.

Towed with the new springs for the first time last weekend. Really liked how they towed. Better than my old deavers plus 3.

Oh and they seem to ride much smoother on the street too.

Well purchased a bigger jack than the 2ton I carry with me yesterday and at first couldn't lift it high enough to see the down travel. With some 2x4, finally got it barely off the ground on one side. Measured from the bottom of the flare to the top of the tire, almost 20"!

Did you measure from bump pad up to where the bump stop would be if compressed? This would be the total travel you have.

I wasn't measuring travel but just the distance between the tire and flare. But yes, what you are saying makes perfect sense. So how much does the bump compress, fully?

EDIT: Measured using the bump stop, 14.5"

Pro eagle off road sells a great extendable 4"-8" jack extension that locks into the jack pad for $40. I also needed their $20 plate to go with it but it's great compared to using wood which isn't exactly solid.

Think I found it, thanks! Says it comes with the lift pad for $50

Says it works with their jack and a few other brands. Do you know if it works with the harbor freight 3 ton floor jack?

Damn that icon kit is pretty impressive
