Construction & Design:

Constructed from high-grade aluminum alloys, the ICON 2.0 Series shocks feature a 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing that provide superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance, essential for maintaining consistent performance in demanding environments. The internal components, including the rod end and top cap, are crafted from 6061 aluminum to ensure strength without adding unnecessary weight.

The shock shaft is made from 5/8” chrome-plated hardened steel, which resists corrosion and pitting, extending the shock’s lifespan. The monotube design is nitrogen charged and paired with a remote reservoir, allowing for better heat management and improved damping characteristics during prolonged use. Vehicle-specific valving and a one-piece linear/digressive piston deliver a smooth, controlled ride tailored to the Dodge Ram’s suspension dynamics.
