Overview:

The ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks are engineered to deliver exceptional off-road performance while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride on the street. Designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 to 2018, these shocks are tuned in both length and damping to perfectly match the vehicle’s suspension characteristics. Whether tackling rugged trails or cruising on pavement, ICON’s 2.5 Aluminum Series shocks provide superior handling, improved ride quality, and enhanced durability for Jeep enthusiasts seeking reliable suspension upgrades.

Built with precision and versatility in mind, these shocks are ideal for Jeep owners who demand both comfort and performance from their suspension system. The pair is optimized for a 3-inch lift, making them a perfect upgrade for lifted Jeep Wrangler JKs looking to maximize suspension travel and control.

Key Features:

ICON’s 2.5 Series Rear Shocks incorporate advanced technology and premium materials to ensure outstanding performance and longevity. Key features include:

• One-piece digressive piston design with vehicle-specific valving for unmatched ride quality on and off-road
• Internal “Bump Zone” created by a 6061 billet aluminum manifold, increasing damping force by 20% to prevent harsh bottom outs
• Externally adjustable ICON CDC Valve offering 10 levels of compression damping for precise tuning with the turn of a knob
• One-piece impact extruded aluminum cylinders for lighter weight, superior corrosion resistance, and a consistent finish
• Piggyback reservoir design that improves heat dissipation and reduces shock fade during extended use
• Premium grade 5WT shock oil for consistent damping performance across a wide temperature range
• PTFE lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for durability and ease of installation
• 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for strength and smooth operation
• Nitrogen charged monotube design with piggyback reservoir for enhanced response and heat management
• 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC machined components for precision and reliability
• Double-sealed Schrader caps to reduce risk of damage and contamination
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable for long-term serviceability and customization

Construction & Design:

ICON’s 2.5 Series Rear Shocks feature a robust construction that combines lightweight materials with high-strength engineering. The one-piece impact extruded aluminum cylinders provide excellent corrosion resistance and a uniform finish superior to traditional plated steel. The use of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum in critical components ensures durability under extreme conditions while keeping weight low.

The piggyback reservoir design enhances heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during prolonged off-road use. The internal Bump Zone, created by a billet aluminum manifold, adds an extra 20% damping force near full compression to prevent harsh bottom outs and maintain suspension control during high-velocity impacts. This thoughtful engineering results in a shock absorber that balances toughness with refined ride quality.

Installation & Fitment:

These rear shocks are designed as a direct fit for Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 through 2018, including various trims such as Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, and Unlimited versions. They are optimized for vehicles with a 3-inch lift and come with application-specific mounting hardware to simplify installation. No major modifications are required, making them an ideal upgrade for Jeep owners looking to enhance their suspension performance quickly and reliably.

What's Included:

• Pair of ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks with piggyback reservoirs
• Application-specific mounting hardware
• Adjustable CDC Valve knobs for compression tuning
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

These shocks are perfect for Jeep Wrangler JK owners who want to improve their vehicle’s off-road capability without sacrificing on-road comfort. They suit enthusiasts who have lifted their Jeep by approximately 3 inches and require durable, high-performance shocks that can handle aggressive trail conditions while providing smooth daily driving. ICON’s 2.5 Series Rear Shocks are also well-suited for those who value rebuildability and tunability in their suspension components.

ICON Vehicle Dynamics builds performance suspension components for trucks and SUVs—think coilovers, shocks, lift/leveling systems, and supporting hardware engineered for hard off-road use. Their setups are designed to improve control, ride quality, and durability when you’re pushing faster over rough terrain or building a capable overland/trail rig.
