Key Features:

The ICON Stage 5 Suspension System combines innovative engineering and robust components to deliver superior ride quality and off-road prowess. Key features include:

• 4.5-inch lift height providing ample ground clearance for 35" tires and compatibility with some 37" tires with minor trimming
• Dual rate coil springs for balanced ride comfort and load handling
• Heavy-duty tubular steel upper and lower link arms that increase strength and reduce bushing bind
• Polyurethane bump stops with billet extensions to protect suspension travel
• Sway bar drop brackets and forged pitman arm to maintain proper steering geometry
• Adjustable bearing-style track bar with drop bracket for precise axle centering and improved rigidity
• ICON 2.5" V.S. Series shocks featuring Compression Damping Control Valve (CDCV) for tunable compression damping
• Shocks equipped with FK bearings, billet top caps and rod ends, 7/8" shafts, and forged stems with rolled threads for durability

Construction & Design:

Every component in the Stage 5 Suspension System is engineered for strength and longevity. The tubular steel link arms are forged for maximum rigidity and designed to reduce the binding commonly found in factory bushings, enhancing articulation and alignment range. ICON’s shocks are built with premium materials including FK bearings and billet aluminum parts, ensuring consistent damping performance and resistance to wear. The system’s polyurethane bump stops and billet extensions protect suspension components during extreme travel, while the forged pitman arm and track bar drop bracket maintain precise steering geometry under lifted conditions.
