- Externally adjustable ICON CDC Valve offering 10 levels of high-resolution compression damping adjustment with a simple turn of a knob
- Piggyback reservoir design for enhanced heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during prolonged or intense use
- One-piece impact extruded aluminum cylinders providing excellent corrosion resistance and a consistent finish
- Premium grade 5WT shock oil ensuring consistent damping performance across a wide temperature range
- Durable polyurethane bushings and forged steel mounting stems for factory-accurate fitment and long-lasting reliability
- PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for precise installation and smooth operation
- 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shafts for superior strength and wear resistance
- Nitrogen-charged monotube design with piggyback reservoir for consistent damping and improved shock response
- 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC-machined components for lightweight strength and precision engineering
- 100% rebuildable and 100% revalveable for extended service life and tuning flexibility
Construction & Design:
The ICON 2.5 Series shocks are crafted from premium materials to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use. The shock bodies are made from impact-extruded aluminum, offering a lightweight yet highly durable structure resistant to corrosion and wear. The internal components, including the piston and valving, are engineered for precise damping control tailored to the Ram 2500’s suspension dynamics.
Featuring a piggyback reservoir connected via a billet 6061 aluminum manifold, these shocks efficiently dissipate heat to maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions. The nitrogen-charged monotube design prevents cavitation and ensures smooth, responsive damping throughout the suspension travel.
Installation & Fitment:
These ICON 2.5 Series Air Ride Rear 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 (2014-2020), SLT (2014-2018), and Tradesman trims. No modifications are required, ensuring a hassle-free upgrade.
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with air ride suspension systems to ensure proper setup and adjustment of the CDC Valve for optimal performance.
