ICON - Stage 8 RXT Suspension Lift Kit 

Transform your 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma with the ICON Stage 8 RXT Suspension System, a complete front and rear suspension package built for serious trail use, loaded adventure builds, and drivers looking for increased rear suspension travel and load-carrying flexibility.

Stage 8 takes a different approach from the earlier ICON stages by replacing the factory rear leaf pack and Add-A-Leaf setup with ICON's complete Multi-Rate RXT rear leaf spring system. The RXT leaf packs are paired with specially designed 2.5 Remote Reservoir RXT rear shocks, giving the Tacoma substantially more rear suspension capability while retaining the factory shock mounting locations.

Choose between Tubular or Billet Delta Joint upper control arms to match your build and budget.

Multi-Rate RXT Rear Leaf Springs

The biggest difference with Stage 8 is ICON's RXT Multi-Rate rear suspension system.

Instead of simply adding a leaf to the factory spring pack, Stage 8 replaces the rear leaf springs with complete ICON RXT leaf packs.

The included additional leaf allows the spring pack to be configured for three different spring rates, making it easier to match the suspension to how your Tacoma is actually equipped.

This is especially beneficial for trucks carrying additional constant weight from equipment such as:

• Bed racks

• Rooftop tents

• Aftermarket bumpers

• Spare tires

• Recovery equipment

• Camping gear

• Tools and trail equipment

• Additional cargo

The additional leaf can be exchanged or added to increase spring rate by approximately 10–20%, depending on the desired configuration.

RXT-Specific 2.5 Rear Shocks

Stage 8 uses specially designed 2.5 Aluminum Series RXT rear shocks rather than conventional Tacoma rear shocks.

A unique side-mounted lower eyelet allows the shock to have a shorter collapsed length and longer extended length while still utilizing the factory mounting location.

When installed as part of the complete ICON system, this design can provide up to approximately 20% additional rear shock travel.

Large remote reservoirs also increase oil capacity and help manage heat during prolonged or aggressive off-road driving.
