ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks

2014–2022 Ram 2500

217802EP

Overview:

The ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks with CDEV are engineered specifically for Ram 2500 trucks from 2014 through 2022, delivering exceptional off-road capability combined with a smooth, controlled ride on paved roads. Designed as a pair for the front suspension, these shocks feature a vehicle-specific length and damping tune to optimize performance for lifted Ram 2500 models with a 2.5" lift. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking enhanced suspension control, durability, and adjustability, the ICON 2.5 Series shocks improve ride quality and handling in demanding conditions.

Incorporating ICON’s advanced CDE Valve technology, these shocks allow electronic adjustment of compression damping from inside the vehicle, providing real-time tuning to adapt to varying terrain and driving styles. This makes them a versatile upgrade for both daily drivers and serious off-road adventurers.

Key Features:

These ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks combine innovative engineering with premium materials to deliver superior performance and reliability. Key features include:

• Vehicle-specific valving and length tailored for 2014–2022 Ram 2500 models with 2.5" lift
• ICON’s patented CDE Valve technology for in-vehicle electronic compression damping adjustment
• Internal “Bump Zone” created by a 6061-billet aluminum manifold, increasing damping force by 20% to prevent harsh bottom outs
• One-piece digressive piston design for consistent and responsive shock performance
• Remote reservoir design to improve heat dissipation and reduce shock fade during extended use
• Hard anodized, impact-extruded aluminum cylinders for corrosion resistance and durability
• Premium 5WT shock oil ensuring consistent damping across a wide temperature range
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for smooth articulation and fitment
• 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for strength and longevity
• Fully rebuildable and re-tunable to extend service life and maintain peak performance

Construction & Design:

Built with precision and durability in mind, the ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks utilize aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum CNC-machined components to ensure strength while minimizing weight. The hard anodized finish on the shock cylinders provides excellent corrosion resistance, making these shocks well-suited for harsh off-road environments. The remote reservoir design enhances heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during prolonged or aggressive driving.

The internal “Bump Zone” is a unique feature created by a billet aluminum manifold positioned just below the shock’s top cap. This design increases damping force by 20% as the shock approaches full compression, effectively controlling suspension movement and preventing harsh bottom outs. The one-piece digressive piston and vehicle-specific valving deliver a balanced ride quality that excels both on and off-road.

Installation & Fitment:

These shocks are designed for direct fitment on Ram 2500 trucks from 2014 to 2022, including Big Horn, Laramie, Laramie Limited (2014–2015), Laramie Longhorn, Limited (2016–2022), Lone Star (2014–2015 and 2019–2022), Outdoorsman (2014–2016), Power Wagon, SLT (2014–2018), and Tradesman models. Installation requires the use of ICON Intelligent Control (IIC) part number 213500 and compatible CDEV rear shocks (part numbers 217704EP, 217705EP, or 217708EP) to enable full electronic damping adjustment functionality.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and calibration. The shocks come with all necessary mounting hardware and spherical bearings for a straightforward swap with factory components on lifted Ram 2500 trucks.

What's Included:

• Pair of ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks with CDEV
• Remote reservoirs integrated with shock bodies
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

The ICON 2.5 Series Front Shocks are ideal for Ram 2500 owners who have lifted their trucks 2.5 inches and demand superior suspension performance both on rugged off-road trails and during everyday street driving. These shocks suit enthusiasts who want the ability to electronically adjust compression damping on the fly, improving ride comfort and control in diverse driving conditions. Whether tackling rocky terrain, hauling heavy loads, or cruising highways, these shocks provide enhanced stability, reduced bottoming, and a refined ride experience.

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.
