ICON - Stage 1 RXT Rear Suspension System – Toyota Tacoma 2016–2023
ICON Stage 1 RXT Rear Suspension System
Upgrade the rear of your Tacoma with ICON's Stage 1 RXT Rear Suspension System, a complete rear suspension package designed to improve load handling, suspension travel, ride quality, and off-road performance.
Unlike a conventional rear shock upgrade, the RXT system combines ICON 2.5 remote-reservoir rear shocks, multi-rate RXT leaf springs, hydraulic bump stops, and new U-bolts into one matched rear suspension package.
Important: This is a REAR SUSPENSION SYSTEM ONLY. Front shocks, coilovers, and upper control arms are NOT included.
What's Included
The complete ICON Stage 1 RXT system includes:
- (2) ICON RXT Multi-Rate Rear Leaf Packs
- (2) ICON 2.5 RXT Remote Reservoir Rear Shocks
- ICON Rear Hydraulic Bump Stop Kit
- ICON 8" Rear U-Bolt Kit
- Required components included with the ICON system
Everything is packaged as ICON's complete Stage 1 RXT system.
RXT Multi-Rate Leaf Springs
One of the biggest advantages of the RXT system is its adjustable rear spring configuration.
The included RXT leaf packs use add-in leaves that allow the rear suspension to be configured for three different spring rates. This lets you better match the suspension to how your Tacoma is actually equipped.
This is especially useful for trucks carrying:
- Bed racks
- Rooftop or bed-mounted tents
- Camping equipment
- Drawer/storage systems
- Recovery equipment
- Aftermarket rear bumpers
- Additional permanent bed weight
Instead of treating every Tacoma as if it carries the same amount of weight, the RXT system gives you more flexibility to configure the rear suspension around your build.
ICON 2.5 RXT Remote Reservoir Rear Shocks
The included 2.5 Series RXT rear shocks are specifically designed to work with the increased travel available from the RXT leaf-spring system.
Remote reservoirs increase shock oil capacity and help manage heat during extended off-road driving.
Compared with a basic rear shock and leaf-spring upgrade, this package is designed for drivers who want considerably more capability from the rear suspension.
Hydraulic Rear Bump Stops Included
Stage 1 RXT also includes ICON's rear hydraulic bump stop system.
Rather than relying only on the factory-style bump stops during hard compression events, the hydraulic system provides more progressive control as the suspension approaches full compression.
This is especially beneficial when encountering larger impacts and rough terrain off-road.
Increased Rear Suspension Travel
According to ICON, the complete RXT system can provide approximately 20% more rear wheel travel compared with the factory configuration when properly set up.
This makes Stage 1 RXT much more than a load-supporting leaf-spring upgrade—it's a complete performance-oriented rear suspension system.
Who Should Choose Stage 1 RXT?
This system is a strong choice for:
- Overland Tacoma builds
- Trucks carrying permanent rear accessories
- Camping and adventure builds
- Tacomas that regularly carry additional equipment
- Drivers wanting improved rear suspension travel
- Drivers wanting 2.5" remote-reservoir rear shocks
- Drivers looking for a complete rear suspension solution instead of upgrading individual components
Looking for a Complete Front + Rear ICON System?
This Stage 1 RXT package does not include front suspension components.
If you want ICON front coilovers, upper control arms, and the RXT rear suspension together, consider one of ICON's higher-stage complete suspension systems rather than adding unrelated components to this package.

Before Ordering
The RXT leaf springs can be configured for different load conditions. Choose the spring configuration based on the permanent weight your Tacoma normally carries, not occasional cargo.
Final rear ride height will vary depending on vehicle configuration, installed accessories, cargo weight, and RXT leaf-pack setup.
Professional installation is recommended.
