- PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for smooth articulation and durability
- 7/8-inch diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for strength and wear resistance
- Nitrogen-charged monotube design with remote reservoir for improved response and heat management
- 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC-machined components for precision and reliability
- 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable to customize ride characteristics and extend service life
Construction & Design:
The ICON 2.5 Series shocks feature a robust construction that combines lightweight materials with high-strength engineering. The one-piece impact-extruded aluminum cylinders resist corrosion and maintain a sleek, durable finish even in harsh environments. The shock shafts are induction hardened and chrome plated to resist wear and provide smooth piston travel. The remote reservoir design not only increases oil capacity but also improves heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during prolonged off-road or heavy-duty use.
Every component is CNC machined from 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, ensuring tight tolerances and consistent quality. The PTFE-lined spherical bearings reduce friction and wear, allowing for precise movement and longer service intervals. This meticulous attention to detail results in a shock absorber that performs reliably under demanding conditions while maintaining a refined ride on the street.
Installation & Fitment:
These ICON 2.5 Series front shocks are designed to fit 4WD Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks from 2003 through 2013 with a 2.5-inch lift.
