• Externally adjustable ICON CDC Valve offering 10 levels of compression damping for precise tuning with a simple knob turn
• Durable one-piece impact extruded aluminum cylinders providing excellent corrosion resistance and consistent finish
• Piggyback reservoir design enhances heat dissipation, reducing shock fade during extended use
• Premium grade 5WT shock oil ensures consistent damping across a wide temperature range
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings and application-specific mounting hardware for smooth articulation and secure fitment
• 7/8” diameter induction hardened, chrome-plated shock shaft for strength and longevity
• Nitrogen-charged monotube design with piggyback reservoir for improved performance and durability
• 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum CNC machined components for precision and lightweight construction
• 100% rebuildable and revalveable for long-term service and customization

Construction & Design:

Constructed from premium 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, the ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks feature CNC-machined components that ensure precise tolerances and exceptional durability. The one-piece impact extruded aluminum cylinders resist corrosion and maintain a consistent finish even in harsh environments. The piggyback reservoir design improves heat dissipation, preventing shock fade during prolonged off-road or heavy-duty use. The shock shaft is induction hardened and chrome plated, providing superior wear resistance and smooth operation. ICON’s innovative internal “Bump Zone” technology adds an extra layer of damping control, enhancing suspension performance during high-velocity compression events.

Installation & Fitment:

These shocks are designed as direct replacements for the rear suspension of Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2009 to 2018 and Ram 1500 Classic models from 2019 to 2022. Installation requires no major modifications, utilizing application-specific mounting hardware and PTFE-lined spherical bearings for a precise fit. The shocks accommodate 0-3" lift setups, making them ideal for lifted trucks while maintaining factory ride height compatibility. Professional installation is recommended to ensure optimal performance and safety.

What's Included:

• Pair of ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks with piggyback reservoirs
• Application-specific mounting hardware
• PTFE-lined spherical bearings
• Adjustment knob for ICON CDC Valve compression tuning
• Installation instructions

Ideal For:

The ICON 2.5 Series Rear Shocks are perfect for Dodge Ram 1500 owners who demand enhanced suspension performance both on and off-road. Whether you’re tackling rugged trails, hauling heavy loads, or seeking improved ride comfort and control on the street, these shocks provide the adjustability and durability needed for versatile driving conditions. They are especially suited for trucks with mild to moderate lifts (0-3") and for enthusiasts who want a rebuildable, revalveable shock that can evolve with their suspension setup over time.

ICON Vehicle Dynamics builds performance suspension components for trucks and SUVs—think coilovers, shocks, lift/leveling systems, and supporting hardware engineered for hard off-road use. Their setups are designed to improve control, ride quality, and durability when you’re pushing faster over rough terrain or building a capable overland/trail rig.
