217701P

Overview:

The ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks are precision-engineered performance shocks designed specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models from 2003 to 2013. Built to deliver exceptional off-road capability while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride on paved roads, these shocks are ideal for enthusiasts who demand both durability and comfort. Each shock is custom valved and sized to match the suspension characteristics of your Ram, ensuring optimal performance whether tackling rugged trails or cruising highways.

These shocks are perfect for owners who have lifted their trucks 2 to 3 inches and want to upgrade their rear suspension with a reliable, high-quality damping solution that enhances handling, reduces harsh bottom-outs, and improves overall ride quality.

Key Features:

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

• Vehicle-specific valving and length for precise fitment and optimized damping
• 6061 billet aluminum manifold creating an internal “Bump Zone” that increases damping force by 20% to prevent harsh bottom-outs
• One-piece digressive piston design for consistent and smooth shock response
• Remote piggyback reservoir for improved heat dissipation and reduced shock fade during extended use
• 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for durability and corrosion resistance
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for enhanced articulation and reduced wear
• 100% rebuildable and revalveable design for long-term serviceability and tuning flexibility
• Nitrogen-charged monotube construction using premium 5WT shock oil for consistent damping across a wide temperature range
• Optional upgrade available with ICON’s Compression Damping Control Valve (CDCV) for user-defined tuning

Construction & Design:

Constructed from aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum and CNC machined components, the ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinders provide a consistent finish and robust housing for internal components. The piggyback reservoir design enhances heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during prolonged off-road or heavy-duty use. The internal bump zone technology, created by the billet aluminum manifold, delivers additional damping force as the shock nears full compression, improving control and preventing harsh bottom-outs on rough terrain.

Installation & Fitment:

These shocks are designed as direct replacements for the rear suspension of Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models from 2003 through 2013, accommodating 2 to 3-inch lift setups without requiring additional modifications. Installation is straightforward using the included application-specific mounting hardware and PTFE-lined spherical bearings, ensuring a secure and precise fit. Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What's Included:

• Pair of ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks with piggyback reservoirs
• Application-specific mounting hardware
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

• Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 owners with 2–3 inch lift kits seeking enhanced rear suspension performance
• Off-road enthusiasts requiring durable, high-performance shocks that maintain street comfort
• Drivers looking for rebuildable and tunable shocks to customize ride quality and handling
• Those who want to reduce harsh bottom-outs and improve suspension control on rough terrain

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.
