Overview:

The ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shock with Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) technology is engineered specifically for the 2020 to 2023 Jeep Gladiator models. Designed for off-road enthusiasts who demand superior control and comfort, these shocks deliver a smooth ride on the street while providing outstanding performance on challenging terrain. The electronically controlled valve adjusts compression damping in real time, adapting instantly to changing conditions for a balanced and responsive driving experience.

Whether tackling rugged trails or cruising on pavement, the ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks enhance your Gladiator’s suspension capabilities with precision tuning tailored to your vehicle’s unique dynamics. This pair of shocks is a perfect upgrade for Jeep Gladiator owners seeking improved handling, durability, and ride quality.

Key Features:

ICON’s advanced shock technology combines innovative design with intelligent control to optimize suspension performance. Key features include:

• Compression Damping Electronic Valve (CDEV) for infinitely variable, real-time compression damping adjustments in under 40 milliseconds
• ICON Intelligent Control system paired with a proprietary mobile app for user-defined settings and terrain prediction using onboard G-force sensors and gyroscopes
• One-piece digressive piston design with vehicle-specific valving for superior ride quality on and off-road
• Internal “Bump Zone” increases damping by 20% near full compression for enhanced control
• Hard anodized, impact-extruded aluminum cylinders for corrosion resistance and consistent finish
• Remote reservoir design improves heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during extended use
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for durability and precise fitment
• 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for strength and longevity
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with piggyback reservoir for consistent damping performance
• 100% revalveable and rebuildable for long-term serviceability

Construction & Design:

Built with premium materials and precision engineering, the ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks feature 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC-machined components that ensure strength and lightweight performance. The hard anodized finish protects against corrosion and wear, maintaining a professional appearance and reliable function over time. The monotube design with a piggyback reservoir enhances heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during prolonged off-road use. PTFE-lined spherical bearings reduce friction and wear, while the robust shock shaft is induction hardened and chrome plated for maximum durability.

Installation & Fitment:

These rear shocks are custom-configured in both length and damping tune for the Jeep Gladiator 2020 through 2023 models, including the 80th Anniversary, Altitude, Freedom, High Altitude, Launch Edition, Mojave, Overland, Rubicon, Sport, Sport S, Texas Trail, Willys, and Willys Sport trims. Installation requires the use of a sway bar relocation kit (Part #22062) or sway bar link kit (Part #22070) when combined with JT coil spacers or coil springs (Part #22065 or #22066). This ensures proper suspension geometry and optimal performance. Professional installation is recommended to guarantee correct setup and safety.
