ICON - Stage 2 RXT CDXS Rear Suspension System - Toyota Tacoma 2016-2023

ICON - Stage 2 RXT CDXS Rear Suspension System

Transform the rear suspension of your 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma with the ICON Stage 2 RXT CDXS Rear Suspension System. Designed for Tacoma owners looking for increased rear suspension travel, configurable load support, advanced shock tuning, and improved bottom-out control, this package replaces the major components of the factory rear suspension with ICON's high-performance RXT system.

This is a rear-only suspension system and includes ICON Multi-Rate RXT leaf springs, 2.5 RXT CDXS remote reservoir shocks, rear U-bolts, and hydraulic rear bump stops.

Advanced CDXS Rear Shock Adjustability

The Stage 2 RXT CDXS system features ICON's latest CDXS compression damping technology.

Unlike a traditional single compression adjuster, CDXS allows high-speed and low-speed compression damping to be adjusted independently, with 10 settings available for each.

This allows you to fine-tune how the rear suspension behaves without disassembling or revalving the shocks.

Low-Speed Compression

Low-speed compression primarily affects slower suspension movements caused by:

• Acceleration and braking
• Body movement
• Weight transfer
• Gradual terrain changes
• Changes in vehicle load

Adjusting low-speed compression allows you to control the overall feel of the rear suspension without necessarily changing how it reacts to sharper impacts.

High-Speed Compression

High-speed compression primarily affects faster shock movements caused by:

• Rocks
• Potholes
• Washboard roads
• Sharp trail impacts
• Faster off-road terrain

This allows impact control to be tuned separately from general suspension movement.

Multi-Rate RXT Rear Leaf Springs

ICON's Multi-Rate RXT leaf springs completely replace the factory rear leaf packs and provide three configurable spring-rate settings.

This allows you to better match the rear suspension to how your Tacoma is actually equipped.

The configurable RXT system is especially useful for trucks carrying constant additional weight from equipment such as:

• Bed racks
• Rooftop tents
• Aftermarket bumpers
• Spare tires
• Recovery equipment
• Camping gear
• Tools and trail equipment
• Additional cargo

This makes the system suitable for everything from lighter Trail Ready builds to Tacomas carrying substantial adventure equipment.

Increased Rear Suspension Travel

The included RXT-specific shocks are designed around the increased travel capability of ICON's Multi-Rate rear leaf springs.

Their specialized configuration allows additional shock travel while retaining the intended Tacoma mounting arrangement.

When installed as a complete ICON RXT system, ICON states the rear suspension can achieve approximately 20% more wheel travel compared with the factory configuration.

The additional travel helps the rear tires maintain contact with uneven terrain while giving the suspension more room to absorb larger obstacles.

Hydraulic Rear Bump Stops

Stage 2 also includes ICON's hydraulic rear bump stop system.

Rather than relying solely on the factory-style bump stops during hard compression, the hydraulic bump stops provide progressively increasing damping as the rear suspension approaches the end of its travel.

This helps:

• Reduce harsh bottom-outs
• Improve control during large impacts
• Protect the suspension during aggressive off-road use
• Create a smoother transition as the suspension reaches full compression

This is particularly beneficial during faster trail driving, desert terrain, and situations where the rear suspension experiences repeated heavy impacts.

RXT CDCV vs. RXT CDXS

Stage 2 RXT CDCV

• Multi-Rate RXT leaf springs
• 2.5 RXT remote reservoir rear shocks
• Single compression damping adjustment
• Hydraulic rear bump stops

Stage 2 RXT CDXS

• Multi-Rate RXT leaf springs
• 2.5 RXT remote reservoir rear shocks
• Independent low-speed compression adjustment
• Independent high-speed compression adjustment
• 10 settings for each CDXS adjuster
• Hydraulic rear bump stops

Choose CDXS if you want more precise control over how the rear suspension responds to chassis movement and sharper impacts.

Best For

• Trail Ready Tacoma builds
• Drivers wanting to upgrade the rear suspension independently
• Loaded adventure and overland builds
• Tacomas equipped with bed racks or rooftop tents
• Trucks carrying constant additional weight
• Technical trails
• Desert and faster dirt-road driving
• Drivers wanting increased rear suspension travel
• Customers who want advanced rear shock tuning
• Tacoma owners wanting improved bottom-out control

Fitment

Vehicle: Toyota Tacoma
Years: 2016–2023
System: ICON Stage 2 RXT CDXS Rear Suspension System

ICON System Part Number: K53162D

Important — Rear Suspension Only

This is not a complete front and rear lift kit.

The Stage 2 RXT CDXS system upgrades the rear suspension only. Front coilovers, front shocks, and upper control arms are not included.

This system is ideal for customers who already have a compatible front suspension setup or who want to build their Tacoma's front and rear suspension separately.

Important Fitment Notes

• Does not fit 2WD 5-lug Tacoma models.
• Rear ride height varies depending on RXT spring configuration, vehicle weight, and installed accessories.
• ICON's advertised increased rear wheel travel requires the complete intended RXT system to be installed.
• Professional installation is recommended.
• Verify vehicle configuration and installed accessories when selecting the appropriate RXT spring-rate configuration.

K53162D combines ICON's Multi-Rate RXT rear suspension, advanced CDXS shock adjustability, and hydraulic bump-stop control into one complete rear suspension package.
