    Here is what I’m going with and am looking at feedback on driveability.

    90% Highway with occasional hauling.


    2010 CM Limited.

    Current setup are old worn out 4600’s.

    I was able to get a TRD Pro Fox setup for a great price.

    Already have TRD rear sway bar, looking at getting front sway bar.

    Also scored a set of Icon RXT leaf packs (the full set, not the add a leaf). I figured I would go this route to get some rear lift without going with shackles. Going with the least weight option.

    Anyone add the RXT’s to a TRD Pro?

    Looking for comments/general impressions. IMG_7119.jpg

    Least weight option? Then that would be the shackle route.

    Well my leaf springs aren’t in great shape so instead of replacing with OEM, I found a new pair of Icons for $500.

    So you are asking for feedback but you've already bought new shocks and replacement leaf pack? What's the point of this thread? Install what you already bought since I doubt you are going to buy more suspension components. Just find out if/when those Fox need a rebuild. Might as well do that before you install them if its anytime soon.

    Actually found a deal on the TRD pro setup but have yet to pull the trigger. The leaf packs were needed. My thoughts/impressions were on the combo I’ve listed. The comment above regarding shackles is noted and I’m still considering as well.

    Depending on the deal and what you want to do. 5100's or 6112's in the front are normally a good value. If you are mainly highway, probably only need 5100 in the rear. I don't know as much about the RXT leafs, but the RAS gets good reviews and depending on amount of towing and weight, you can crank them up to tow and then drop it back down for normal use.
    The Fox normally get rated well but they are more an off road shock and not meant to help with heavy towing. So again, depends on use. Good luck :thumbsup:
