Construction & Design:

ICON’s 2.0 Series shocks are crafted from high-grade 6063 anodized aluminum, which provides superior heat dissipation and corrosion resistance, essential for maintaining consistent performance in demanding environments. The monotube design with a remote reservoir allows for increased oil capacity and better thermal management, reducing fade during extended use. The piston features a unique linear/digressive profile with valving calibrated specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 applications, ensuring a smooth yet controlled ride both on highways and rugged terrain.

Durability is further enhanced by the use of forged steel mounting stems and zinc-plated sleeves, while polyurethane bushings reduce noise and wear. The shock shaft is a 5/8-inch chrome-plated hardened steel rod, engineered to resist corrosion and pitting, ensuring long-lasting reliability. Every component is designed to meet or exceed OEM standards, providing a perfect fit and finish for your Ram truck.
