The ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Front Shocks are precision-engineered performance upgrades designed specifically for Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models from 2003 through 2013. These shocks offer a significant improvement over factory units, delivering enhanced ride quality and superior handling both on and off the road. Ideal for daily drivers and weekend adventurers alike, the ICON 2.0 Series provides a perfect balance of comfort and control without the premium price tag of more extreme suspension components.

Built with vehicle-specific valving, these shocks optimize damping characteristics to match the unique suspension dynamics of your Ram, ensuring consistent performance across a variety of driving conditions. Whether navigating rough trails or cruising city streets, ICON’s 2.0 Series shocks elevate your truck’s capability and confidence.

Key Features:

Engineered for durability and performance, the ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Front Shocks include:

• 6063 anodized aluminum body and reservoir tubing for excellent heat dissipation and corrosion resistance
• One-piece linear/digressive piston design with vehicle-specific valving for smooth, controlled damping
• Polyurethane bushings, zinc-plated sleeves, and forged steel mounting stems for OE-style fitment and longevity
• Premium grade 5WT shock oil to maintain 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 shock response
• Nitrile rubber top-out bumper for quiet operation and reduced noise
• 100% rebuildable and revalveable for long-term serviceability and tuning flexibility
• Designed specifically for 4WD Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models with 2.5" front lift

Construction & Design:

ICON’s 2.0 Series shocks feature a robust construction using aerospace-grade aluminum alloys, including 6063 anodized aluminum for the shock body and reservoir tubing. This material choice ensures superior heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during demanding driving conditions, while also providing excellent corrosion resistance to withstand harsh environments. The internal components utilize 6061 aluminum for added strength, paired with a hardened chrome-plated steel shaft that resists corrosion and pitting, extending the shock’s lifespan.

The monotube design with an internal nitrogen reservoir enhances shock response and consistency by reducing cavitation and maintaining pressure. Vehicle-specific valving is carefully calibrated to deliver a linear to digressive damping curve, balancing comfort and control for both street and off-road use. The inclusion of polyurethane bushings and forged steel mounting stems ensures a secure, factory-style fitment that integrates seamlessly with your Ram’s suspension.

Installation & Fitment:

These ICON 2.0 Series Aluminum Front Shocks are designed for direct bolt-on installation on 4WD Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models from 2003 to 2013 with a 2.5" front lift. No major modifications are required, making installation straightforward for professional mechanics or experienced enthusiasts. The shocks maintain factory mounting points and dimensions, ensuring proper alignment and suspension geometry without additional adjustments.

For those running extreme off-road setups or requiring greater durability under heavy abuse, ICON recommends considering their 2.5 Series shocks, which offer enhanced construction and performance capabilities.
