- One-piece digressive piston design for consistent and smooth damping performance on and off-road
- Remote piggyback reservoir design to improve heat dissipation and reduce shock fade during extended use
- 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance
- CAD plated, precision-machined 1026 DOM steel shock body for maximum durability
- Premium grade 5WT shock oil ensuring consistent damping across a wide temperature range
- Polyurethane bushings and forged steel mounting stems for OE factory-type fitment and longevity
- PTFE lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for precise installation
- 100% rebuildable and revalveable to customize performance as needed
Construction & Design:
ICON’s Rear 2.5 Series Shocks are crafted with high-quality materials and precision engineering to withstand the rigors of off-road driving while maintaining excellent street manners. The shock body is made from CAD plated 1026 DOM steel, providing superior strength and corrosion resistance. The shock shaft is induction hardened and chrome plated to resist wear and extend service life.
The piggyback reservoir is integrated with a 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum manifold, CNC machined for exact tolerances. This design not only enhances heat dissipation but also incorporates the innovative internal “Bump Zone” that increases damping force as the shock nears full compression, improving suspension control and preventing harsh bottom outs.
Installation & Fitment:
These shocks are designed for direct bolt-on installation on Ram 2500 models from 2014 to 2022, including Big Horn, Laramie, Laramie Limited (2014–2015), Laramie Longhorn, Limited (2016–2022), Limited Longhorn (2021–2022), Lone Star (2014–2015, 2019–2022), Outdoorsman (2014–2016), Power Wagon, SLT (2014–2018), and Tradesman trims. They are specifically tuned and sized for use with ICON’s .5" Lift Performance Rear Coil Springs (part #214206), ensuring optimal suspension geometry and performance.
No major modifications are required for installation, and all necessary mounting hardware is included. The shocks maintain factory-type fitment with polyurethane bushings and forged steel mounting stems, making the upgrade straightforward for professional installers and experienced enthusiasts alike.
What's Included:
