Icon RXT review

Think I found it, thanks! Says it comes with the lift pad for $50
Off-Road Jack extension – Pro-Eagle Products

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?

I bet it would... I did some digging and found out that it does fit the HF 1.5 and 2 ton jacks, but not the 1 ton. Could not find anything definite about the HF 3 ton. I have the HF 3 ton low profile and may try ordering one at some time. These extensions are available through SDHQ as well.

I'll stop by HF this week and compare the lift pads on the 2 ton race jack with the lift pad on the 3 ton low profile floor jack.

good to know. Cheaper than C4.

Yes, it does But you'll need to also buy the $22 "Floor lift jack pad". It allows you to screw and lock the lift assembly to the jack pad when you need it. In other words, you'll remove the harbor freight pad and replace with the pro eagle pad with a 10mm hex wrench. I have the 3 ton and can confirm this.

I did have to Dremel out the lift pad to get it to fit just right. But it was worth it.

Super solid.

Pro eagle has GREAT service and if I'm not mistaken, the prices included shipping.

Yes, that's it.

Get both and in the unlikely chance you don't need or want it to lock into place you can return the jack pad and they'll refund your $22.

Some of the HF jacks have variances in the design so depending on when your 3ton was produced it might or might not be necessary, according to pro eagle.

(Sorry for the side convo OP)

Put the setup through another 600 offroad miles on the Devils Express Run and it continues to impress. We had several rough sections and the RXT system really soaks it up. On the really hard "oopsie" hits the rear feels like it hits softer than the front now.

Here's a little clip going through a whooped out section.




Also, the new springs with the additional spring have been great towing. The trailer doesn't bob up and down as much as with the deavers and feels more stable overall.

Kinda hard to tell in that video since in slo-mo. I take it you had deavers before and replaced them?

I just replaced the brake lines from the frame to axle since it seemed tight so I am ready myself for the upcoming weekend to give my review.

Yes, I had deavers +3. Never had a complaint but I do enjoy the Icon's springs better. They offer a plusher ride on the street as well.

Yeah, mine were pretty snug too so I used a band clamp to reposition the harness. A bit of a jerry rig but it works.

I'd say you're seeing a difference in shocks more than a difference in springs.

I just dealt with the longer brake line thing, simply cutting the hardlines and re flaring with 3/16 -3 an fittings for use with 28" long aftermarket lines was simplest to do.

My bed is loaded. Rear came down quite a bit. And more lean with a full tank. Hmmm




Had to measure it. 29.75" on the driver side (ground to top of bumper) and 31.5" on the passenger. So almost a 2" lean. Not complaining, just hasn't leaned that much previously. Cushy ride!
