217715P

Overview:

The ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks are precision-engineered performance shocks designed specifically for Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2009 through 2022, including the Ram 1500 Classic series. Built to deliver exceptional off-road capability while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride on paved roads, these shocks are ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced suspension performance without sacrificing daily drivability. Each shock is custom valved and length-tuned to match the unique suspension characteristics of your Ram, ensuring optimal handling and comfort across a variety of terrains.

Whether you’re tackling rugged trails or cruising the highway, ICON’s 2.5 Series Rear Shocks provide superior damping control, improved suspension response, and durability that stands up to demanding conditions. Their rebuildable and revalveable design allows for long-term maintenance and tuning flexibility, making them a smart investment for serious Ram owners.

Key Features:

These shocks incorporate advanced technology and premium materials to deliver outstanding performance and reliability:

• Vehicle-specific valving and length configuration for tailored ride quality and handling
• One-piece digressive piston design for smooth compression and rebound control
• ICON’s patented internal “Bump Zone” increases damping force by 20% near full compression to prevent harsh bottom outs
• Remote piggyback reservoir design enhances heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during extended use
• Constructed from 6061 billet aircraft-grade aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance
• 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for durability and smooth operation
• Premium 5WT shock oil ensures consistent damping performance across a wide temperature range
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for precise fitment and reduced wear
• 100% rebuildable and revalveable for long-term serviceability and tuning options
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with piggyback reservoir for improved response and heat management

Construction & Design:

ICON’s 2.5 Series Rear Shocks feature a robust construction using aerospace-grade 6061 aluminum components that are CNC machined for precision and durability. The one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinders provide excellent corrosion resistance and a consistent finish, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments. The shocks utilize a digressive piston design that balances comfort and control, while the internal “Bump Zone” manifold enhances damping force during high-velocity compression events to protect your suspension from harsh impacts.

The piggyback reservoir design not only improves heat dissipation but also maintains consistent damping performance during prolonged off-road or heavy-duty use. The chrome-plated, induction-hardened shock shaft resists wear and provides smooth piston travel, contributing to the overall reliability and performance of the shock absorber.

Installation & Fitment:

These ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks are designed as direct replacements for Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2009 to 2018 and Ram 1500 Classic models from 2019 to 2022. They fit a wide range of trims including Laramie, SLT, Sport, Big Horn, Rebel, and more. Installation requires no modifications for vehicles without factory air suspension, as these shocks are not compatible with OE air suspension systems.

Installation is straightforward using the included application-specific mounting hardware and PTFE-lined spherical bearings, ensuring a secure and precise fit. These shocks are engineered to accommodate 0-3" lift setups, making them suitable for lightly lifted or stock suspension configurations.

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:

These shocks are perfect for Dodge Ram 1500 and Ram 1500 Classic owners who demand enhanced off-road performance without compromising street ride comfort. They are ideal for enthusiasts who frequently drive on mixed terrain, including trails, dirt roads, and highways, and want a durable, tunable suspension upgrade that can be rebuilt and revalved as their needs evolve. Whether you’re upgrading a stock suspension or running a mild lift, ICON’s 2.5 Series Rear Shocks deliver consistent, reliable performance.

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.
