ICON 2005-’23 TOYOTA TACOMA, STAGE 2 RXT SUSPENSION SYSTEM, CDXS

The 2005–’23 Toyota Tacoma is an extremely reliable truck that has served as a versatile platform for drivers seeking the ultimate off-road adventure. From the brutal deserts of the Southwest to the slickrock of Moab to the wooded trails of the East Coast, ICON suspension systems have been put to the test and performed flawlessly for this popular Toyota. ICON Vehicle Dynamics’ engineers have pushed this vehicle to extremes to develop the most sophisticated suspension components on the market. Unable to leave “well enough” alone, ICON is once again aiming to raise the bar in Tacoma performance with the introduction of the RXT Rear Suspension System.

Through thousands of miles of accelerated testing in ICON’s R&D program, over a year was spent identifying limiting factors in OE components and seeking to further extrapolate performance out of this vehicle. In a push to provide unparalleled performance for everything from high-speed desert running to off-the-grid expeditions, the RXT Rear Suspension System was born. The RXT Rear Suspension System includes three all-new 2.5 Aluminum Series rear shock options and a multi-rate leaf spring that works in conjunction with the ICON rear bump stop kit. Installation of this system replaces the aforementioned “limiting factors” and completely redefines the potential of the 2005-’23 Toyota Tacoma with a 20-percent increase in wheel travel and the ability to adjust the leaf spring rate to compensate for varying vehicle setups.
