Key Features:

Designed with precision and durability in mind, the ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Rear Shock includes the following key features:

• Vehicle-specific valving for optimized on and off-road performance tailored to the Jeep Gladiator
• One-piece linear/digressive piston design for smooth ride quality and improved suspension response
• 6063 anodized aluminum body offering excellent corrosion resistance and superior heat dissipation
• Polyurethane bushings and zinc-plated sleeves for long-lasting, factory-style fitment
• Forged steel mounting stems ensuring robust and secure attachment points
• Premium grade 5WT shock oil for consistent damping across a wide temperature range
• 6061 aluminum rod end, top cap, and internal components for enhanced strength and durability
• 5/8” chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resistant to corrosion and pitting
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with internal reservoir for improved heat management and consistent performance
• Nitrile rubber top-out bumper for quiet, noise-free operation
• 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable for long-term serviceability and customization

Construction & Design:

The ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Rear Shock is crafted from high-grade materials to withstand the rigors of both street and off-road use. The anodized 6063 aluminum body not only provides a sleek, high-tech appearance but also excels at dissipating heat generated during extended driving or rough terrain. This helps maintain consistent damping performance and extends shock life.

Internally, the shock features a monotube design charged with nitrogen, which reduces cavitation and improves responsiveness. The use of forged steel mounting stems and polyurethane bushings ensures a secure fit and reduces wear over time. The chrome-plated hardened steel shaft resists corrosion and pitting, maintaining smooth piston movement and reliable operation.

Installation & Fitment:

These rear shocks are specifically engineered for the Jeep Gladiator models from 2020 through 2022, including the 80th Anniversary, Altitude, High Altitude, Launch Edition, Overland, Rubicon, Sport, Sport S, 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 to ensure proper suspension geometry and clearance.

ICON’s vehicle-specific design guarantees a direct bolt-on fit with factory-style mounting points, making installation straightforward for experienced enthusiasts or professional installers. The shocks are fully rebuildable and revalveable, allowing for future tuning or maintenance as needed.

What's Included:

• One pair of ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Rear Shocks (driver and passenger side)
• Polyurethane bushings and zinc-plated sleeves installed

Ideal For:

The ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Rear Shock is perfect for Jeep Gladiator owners who want a reliable, high-quality suspension upgrade that enhances both on-road comfort and off-road capability. It suits daily drivers, weekend trail riders, and enthusiasts looking for improved handling without the expense or complexity of higher-end race shocks. For those facing extreme off-road conditions, ICON recommends considering the 2.5 Series for additional durability and performance.
