Construction & Design:

The ICON 2.0 Series shocks feature a robust construction that combines lightweight aluminum with durable steel components to withstand the rigors of daily driving and off-road use. The anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing provide superior corrosion resistance and efficient heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining consistent shock performance under demanding conditions.

The internal design incorporates a one-piece linear/digressive piston with valving tailored specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic models. This ensures a smooth, controlled ride while effectively managing suspension travel and damping forces. The use of premium materials such as forged steel mounting stems and polyurethane bushings guarantees a secure fit and long-lasting durability.
