Overview:

The ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks are precision-engineered suspension components designed specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models from 2003 through 2013. These shocks deliver exceptional off-road performance while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride on paved roads. Built for serious enthusiasts and professionals alike, they provide superior damping control tailored to the unique demands of heavy-duty Ram trucks equipped with 2.5" lifts.

Each shock is vehicle-specific in both length and valving, ensuring optimal suspension response and ride quality. Whether tackling rugged trails or cruising highways, ICON’s 2.5 Series shocks enhance handling, reduce harsh bottom-outs, and improve overall vehicle stability.

Key Features:

Designed with advanced technology and premium materials, the ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks offer a range of features that set them apart:

• One-piece digressive piston design with vehicle-specific valving for precise damping and ride comfort
• ICON’s patented internal “Bump Zone” increases damping force by 20% near full compression to prevent harsh bottom-outs
• Externally adjustable CDC Valve provides 10 levels of compression damping for fine-tuning suspension performance
• Remote reservoir design improves heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during extended off-road use
• Constructed from CAD-plated, precision-machined 1026 DOM steel for maximum durability and corrosion resistance
• 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for strength and longevity
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design ensures consistent damping and quick response
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for smooth articulation and easy installation
• 100% rebuildable and revalveable for long-term serviceability and customization

Construction & Design:

ICON’s 2.5 Series Front Shocks are built with high-grade materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The shock body is made from 1026 DOM steel, CAD-plated to resist corrosion and withstand harsh environments. The shock shaft is induction hardened and chrome plated to resist wear and bending under extreme loads.

Featuring a 6061 billet aluminum manifold positioned just below the shock’s top cap, the internal Bump Zone enhances damping control during high-velocity compression. The remote reservoir is CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, improving heat dissipation and maintaining consistent performance during prolonged off-road use.

Installation & Fitment:

These shocks are designed for direct fitment on 4WD Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks with 2.5" lifts, covering model years 2003 through 2013. Installation requires no major modifications, as the shocks come with application-specific mounting hardware and PTFE-lined spherical bearings for a precise fit. Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What's Included:

• Pair of ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks with remote reservoirs
• Application-specific mounting hardware
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings installed
• Adjustment knob for CDC Valve compression tuning

Ideal For:

These ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks are ideal for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 owners seeking enhanced off-road capability without sacrificing street ride quality. Perfect for trucks equipped with 2.5" lifts, they suit enthusiasts who demand durability, adjustability, and superior suspension control in rugged terrain and daily driving alike.

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.
