Overview:

The ICON 4.5in Stage 1 Suspension System is engineered to elevate the capability and performance of your Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500, covering model years 2009 through 2013. Designed for drivers who demand enhanced ground clearance and improved off-road handling without sacrificing on-road comfort, this system offers a substantial 4.5-inch lift. It builds upon the proven technology of ICON’s 2.5-inch systems by integrating additional front-end components that maintain proper steering geometry and optimize suspension travel.

Ideal for towing, navigating rough construction sites, or tackling country dirt roads, the Stage 1 Suspension System delivers a smooth highway ride while providing the clearance needed for larger tires. With ICON’s extensive testing and tuning, this kit ensures a balanced, reliable upgrade for your heavy-duty Ram truck.

Key Features:

This Stage 1 Suspension System combines durable materials and precision engineering to enhance your truck’s performance both on and off the road. Key features include:

• 4.5-inch lift height for increased ground clearance and tire clearance
• Dual rate coil springs for improved ride quality and load handling
• Tubular steel upper and lower link arms that reduce bushing bind and increase strength
• Polyurethane bumpstops with billet extensions to protect suspension components
• Sway bar drop brackets to maintain proper sway bar geometry
• Forged pitman arm for enhanced steering response and durability
• Track bar drop bracket to correct axle positioning after lift
• Rear 2.5-inch lift blocks with heavy-duty u-bolts for rear suspension lift
• 2.0 Aluminum Series smooth body shocks tuned for lifted suspension dynamics
• Compatibility with 35-inch tires without modifications, and some 37-inch tires with minor fender trimming

Construction & Design:

ICON’s Stage 1 Suspension System is crafted from high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance under demanding conditions. The tubular steel upper and lower link arms are engineered to increase strength and range of alignment while reducing the binding commonly found in factory link bushings. Polyurethane bumpstops with billet extensions provide durable impact absorption, protecting your suspension during full travel. The inclusion of forged components such as the pitman arm enhances steering precision and reliability. The 2.0 Aluminum Series shocks feature a smooth body design optimized for the increased lift and suspension articulation, delivering a controlled and comfortable ride.

Installation & Fitment:

This suspension system is designed for a direct bolt-on installation with all necessary components included. It fits a wide range of Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models from 2009 to 2013, including Laramie, SLT, ST, SXT, Big Horn, Longhorn, Lone Star, Outdoorsman, Tradesman, and TRX trims. The kit ships in multiple boxes to ensure safe delivery of all parts. Installation requires standard mechanical skills and tools, and while no major modifications are needed for 35-inch tires, some trimming of the fender wells may be necessary for certain 37-inch tire setups.

What's Included:

• Dual rate coil springs
• Tubular steel upper and lower link arms with billet extensions
