Overview:

The ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Shocks (Rear) are precision-engineered performance shock absorbers designed specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2009 through 2022, including the Ram 1500 Classic. These shocks offer a significant upgrade for drivers seeking enhanced ride quality and improved handling both on and off the road. Ideal for everyday street use and weekend off-road adventures, the ICON 2.0 Series delivers consistent damping performance and durability without the premium price tag of higher-end models.

Developed by ICON’s expert engineers, these shocks are vehicle-specific and tailored to the unique suspension characteristics of the Ram 1500 lineup. They provide a balanced ride that smooths out rough terrain while maintaining control and stability during highway driving.

Key Features:

Built to meet the demands of Ram 1500 owners who want reliable performance and long-lasting quality, the ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Shocks include:

• 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing for superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• One-piece linear/digressive piston design with vehicle-specific valving for optimized ride quality
• Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems for OE factory fitment
• Premium grade 5WT shock oil ensuring consistent damping across a wide temperature range
• 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internal components for enhanced strength and durability
• 5/8” chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resistant to corrosion and pitting
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with internal reservoir for improved heat management
• Nitrile rubber top-out bumper for quiet, noise-free operation
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable for long-term serviceability and customization

Construction & Design:

The ICON 2.0 Series shocks feature a robust construction using aerospace-grade aluminum alloys, including 6063 anodized aluminum for the body and reservoir tubing, which ensures excellent heat dissipation and corrosion resistance. This material choice not only extends the life of the shock but also maintains a sleek, high-tech appearance under the vehicle.

The internal components are crafted from 6061 aluminum, providing a strong yet lightweight structure that withstands the rigors of daily driving and moderate off-road use. The piston design combines linear and digressive valving, finely tuned to the Ram 1500’s suspension dynamics, delivering a smooth and controlled ride over varied terrain.

Installation & Fitment:

These shocks are designed for direct bolt-on installation with factory-style mounting points, requiring no modifications for most 2009–2022 Dodge Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic models. They are compatible with 1-3" rear lift setups but are not suitable for models equipped with the original equipment air suspension system.

Installation can typically be completed with basic hand tools and standard mechanical knowledge. For optimal performance and safety, professional installation is recommended, especially when paired with other suspension upgrades.

What's Included:

• Pair of ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Rear Shock Absorbers
• Vehicle-specific mounting hardware
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

The ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Shocks are perfect for Ram 1500 owners who want a durable, high-performance shock absorber that improves ride comfort and handling without breaking the bank.
