ICON Stage 1 RXT Suspension System for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma

The ICON Stage 1 RXT Suspension System is a rear suspension upgrade for 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma trucks, delivering a 20% increase in rear wheel travel over stock through a matched set of 2.5 Aluminum Series RXT shocks, multi-rate RXT leaf springs, a hydraulic rear bump stop kit, and a Toyota rear U-bolt kit. Most Tacoma submodels gain 1.875–2.625 inches of rear lift height depending on spring configuration and rear weight; 2017–2023 TRD Pro models gain 1.375–2.125 inches over their factory-raised ride height.

More Rear Travel, Tuned for How You Load the Truck

The RXT multi-rate leaf spring ships with three user-adjustable spring rates, so the rear suspension can be tuned to match a lightly loaded daily driver, a fully kitted expedition rig, or anything in between. A spring rate optimized for a bare truck will bottom harshly under a loaded bed, and one set for a heavy load will ride stiffly when empty. The add-in leaf design lets the owner dial in the rate without swapping the entire pack.

The RXT 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shocks use 10-inch aluminum reservoirs to hold additional oil and nitrogen volume, keeping damping consistent as shock temperature rises during extended high-speed or technical driving. The anodized aluminum shock bodies resist corrosion, and the 7/8-inch shafts are fully rebuildable and revalveable, so the shocks can be serviced or retuned as the truck's use changes rather than replaced outright.

Bump Stop Kit That Works With the Shocks, Not Against Them

The included ICON hydraulic rear bump stop kit mounts directly to the OEM bump stop location and uses position-sensitive technology that exponentially increases bottom-out resistance as the suspension compresses, reducing the sharp rear-end kick that stock rubber bump stops produce at the limit of travel. The 2.5 inches of hydraulic bump stop travel, combined with a vehicle-specific tune, smooth out the transition from normal suspension stroke to full compression. The 1¼-inch CNC-machined nitro steel shaft and multi-stage CAD-plated body are built to withstand repeated hard hits; a double-sealed high-pressure Schrader valve (operating range 50–250 PSI) allows pressure adjustment, and a replaceable noise-reducing striker pad keeps the system quiet on-road.

Features

• 2.5 Aluminum Series RXT shocks with 10" reservoirs, anodized bodies, 7/8" shafts, fully rebuildable and revalveable
• Hydraulic rear bump stop kit with 2.5" travel, position-sensitive technology, and 50–250 PSI Schrader valve
• Direct bolt-in installation to OEM bump stop location; OEM wheels and tires are compatible
• Military wrap front eyelet on leaf spring for increased durability

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The ICON Stage 1 RXT Suspension System suits 2005–2023 Toyota Tacoma owners (including most 4WD and 2WD 6-lug submodels) who want more rear wheel travel, a tunable spring rate for varying loads, and a significant reduction in rear-end harshness at the limit of suspension travel. It works with OEM wheels and tires and is compatible with the recommended ICON Alloys wheel sizes listed above.

This system is not compatible with 2005–2015 2WD 5-lug Toyota Tacoma models. It is a rear-only system and does not include front suspension components. The 20% wheel travel increase is achieved only when the complete ICON system is installed; mixing components from other manufacturers will not achieve the stated travel and may cause damage. This kit is not to be used in conjunction with any other aftermarket suspension kits. WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.

Common Questions

Does this system lift the front of the Tacoma as well?

The ICON Stage 1 RXT Suspension System is a rear-only kit. It does not include front shocks, coilovers, or springs. Rear lift height ranges from 1.875 to 2.625 inches on most Tacoma submodels, and from 1.375 to 2.125 inches on 2017–2023 TRD Pro models, depending on spring configuration and rear weight.

Can the leaf spring rate be changed after installation?

Yes. The RXT multi-rate leaf spring pack includes an add-in leaf that provides three user-adjustable spring rates, allowing the rear suspension to be tuned for a lightly loaded truck or a heavily equipped expedition build without replacing the entire spring pack.

Are the shocks rebuildable, or do they need to be replaced when worn?

The RXT 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shocks in this system are fully rebuildable and revalveable. When damping performance degrades or the truck's use changes, the shocks can be serviced and retuned rather than replaced outright.

Will this kit work on a 2010 Tacoma with a 2WD 5-lug configuration?

No. The ICON Stage 1 RXT Suspension System is not compatible with 2005–2015 2WD 5-lug Toyota Tacoma models. Buyers with that configuration should confirm fitment before purchasing.

What is included in the kit?

The Stage 1 RXT system ships with one RXT 2.5 VS rear shock pair, two RXT multi-rate leaf spring packs with add-in leaf, one hydraulic rear bump stop kit, and one Toyota rear 8.0-inch U-bolt kit. No front suspension components are included.
