Key Features:

These shocks incorporate advanced technology and premium materials to deliver superior performance and longevity:

• One-piece digressive piston design with vehicle-specific valving for precise damping and improved ride quality on and off-road
• Remote reservoir design enhances heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during extended use
• Constructed from impact-extruded aluminum cylinders for excellent corrosion resistance and a consistent finish
• Premium grade 5WT shock oil ensures consistent damping performance across a wide temperature range
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for smooth articulation and durability
• 7/8-inch diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for strength and wear resistance
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with remote reservoir for improved response and heat management
• 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC-machined components for precision and reliability
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable to customize ride characteristics and extend service life

Construction & Design:

The ICON 2.5 Series shocks feature a robust construction that combines lightweight materials with high-strength engineering. The one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinders resist corrosion and maintain a sleek, durable finish even in harsh environments. The shock shafts are induction hardened and chrome plated to resist wear and provide smooth piston travel. The remote reservoir design not only increases oil capacity but also improves heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during prolonged off-road or heavy-duty use.

Every component is CNC machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring tight tolerances and consistent quality. The PTFE-lined spherical bearings reduce friction and wear, allowing for precise movement and longer service intervals. This meticulous attention to detail results in a shock absorber that performs reliably under demanding conditions while maintaining a refined ride on the street.

Installation & Fitment:

These ICON 2.5 Series front shocks are designed to fit 4WD Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks from 2003 through 2013 with a 2.5-inch lift. Installation requires no major modifications, as the shocks come with application-specific mounting hardware to ensure a direct fit. Professional installation is recommended to guarantee proper setup and optimal performance. These shocks are compatible with various trim levels including Laramie, Power Wagon, SLT, Sport, ST, SXT, TRX, TRX4, Big Horn, Longhorn, Lone Star, Outdoorsman, and Tradesman models within the specified years.
