    Hey everyone! I have a 15’ tundra 4x4 and was wondering if anyone has a stage 4 icon lift that also tows a heavy trailer? I’m thinking of getting the stage 4 but also need to tow a 26’ Toyhauler about 8,000-9,000 pounds at times. Any info would be much appreciated!

    My suggestion add a CB+1 shackle and replace the leaf instead of doing the add a leaf. I love how ours tows with the icons and new leaf pack.

    We tow 9,800 daily.

    Hey I was planning on getting the same shocks as stage 4 but with Deaver leaf packs. Wondering if you noticed any driver side lean? Or if you actually measured it?

    We do offer a modular full leaf spring system. Pricier then the Expansion Pack but the full RXT Leaf System can be configured based on weight and/ride height.

    I've seen the Daystar Air Bag Cradle more and more. Seems to be a great option for the people that use their vehicle for towing and don't want to limit performance due to an air bag.

    @Icon_Adrian
    Thanks for the input, quick question.. I’m getting the Stage 4 setup that includes leaf springs, do those springs lift the rear 3”s? Or is that just an add on shackle to bring it up to 3”s?

    The Stage 4 has an expansion pack that yields approximately 1.5" of lift over stock. The RXT leaf system comes in the Stage 8-10.

    The RXT Springs are configurable. They ship set up as option 1. All the parts needed will be included to configure the leafs to option 2 or 3. No shackles or blocks required. Factory shackles and directly mounted to the axle housing.

    IMHO a 2.0 shock body is too small for this size truck.

    @bjronsb which kit is that one? I see the stage 4 kit has 2.5 rear shocks. When you had it installed on your truck, did it tow the toy hauler without any issues?

    I didn’t do the kit I just order it separate from SoCal supper shop. I installed it my self. It towed just fine with the set up. And I’ve taken the truck out and Handel fine . My truck 4wd so I went with 2.5 and rears just 2.0 rear end on those trucks are pretty stout leaf springs on them are pretty good I was a Toyota tech
    Also I had rear airbags to
